I used to do wire wrap by hand for my own projects with the little tool. In high school (mid 70s) I did a video game entirely out of 7400 stuff (about 60 chips), the output was color NTSC video. On Saturday my dad would take me to work where they had all the scopes and power supplies and stuff so I could debug it all. At one point I shorted something and dumped 30A at 5V through one TTL chip, it was fascinating to watch, the plastic on the top of the chip started bubbling, then it just exploded, filling the entire lab with black smoke, setting off the fire alarms etc. Boy was I in trouble!!
