The day my machine tried to make modern art
I was running a simple facing op on a 6061 block, but the coolant line got a tiny chip stuck in it and sprayed a perfect, thin mist across the whole shop wall behind it. My boss walked in, looked at the random pattern for a solid minute, and said, 'You know, I kind of like it.' What's the weirdest thing your machine has accidentally 'created'?

Did your boss actually let you leave it on the wall? That's a story that needs a proper ending.

My friend's lathe once carved a weirdly perfect spiral into a scrap piece by mistake.
