If you haven't seen the TV show How It's Made I'd say you should,
if you can receive it. Besides being interesting, fairly often it
covers things made of wood. Tonight's show included making caskets and
glider rockers. Other shows have had segments on making bagpipes,
recorders (the musical instruments), accordians, etc. Hmm, seems to me
one of the shows had something on guitar making too.
Tonight's show also had a segment on kitchen knives. They fiished
them up by putting on a wooden handle, and then honing them on two,
off-set, grinding wheels. So sharpening isn't as big a deal as a lot of
you make it out to be. LOL
Sure, the stuff is mass-produced. So what? It's fascinating to
see some of the machines and set-ups they use. Plus you can maybe get a
few idas for making a variation for you shop. Sharpening the knives
gave me an idea for a older that would semi-automate sharpening my
chisels - if I cared, and didn't sharpen them on a belt sander. Be
nifty for plane irons tho - if I sharpened any plane irons.
Neat show anyway.

On How It's Made, I want to see the episode that shows how checkered

Joat,
I have watched "How Its Made" and find it interesting. The camera
moves pretty fast and you don't get much time to see details. I
suspect that manufacturing companies are concerned with industrial
espionage and limit what they allow to be filmed. I'm sure they keep
anything they consider state of the art or proprietary out of range
of the lens, and who can blame them.

11 hours and 44 minutes, just like it said on the can.
I get either black squares with white blocks or white squares with
black blocks. Doesn't look like a checker-board at all.
Maybe I should try another brush?

So far, the segment that really blew my mind is how much material and
labor goes into ballet slippers. there are at least 4 or 5 layers of
various materials in the toe box.
Also, I saw a pair of hockey goalie leg pads being made. I kept
thinking "these have gotta be expensive, there's so much labor in
them". At the end they informed us that they are $1600 a pair! I'll
stick with woodworking.

The first season was really hard to watch. That MC, Mark Tewksbury got
on my nerves. He also did the show's theme 'puter sound. Awful!
Tewksbury, a gold medal winner in......wait for it.... the back
stroke. Pfffffff
Why How It's Made never did a segment on fudge-packing is beyond me.

I was working on a custom-build kitchen for a local doctor, a
psychiatrist.
He had some serious problems with a roofing contractor, and just laid
into the contractor during a phone-call.
He called him every name in the book, made fun of his mother, the
works.
When he, the normaly quite reserved doctor, slammed down the phone he
looked at me, flashed an ear-to-ear smile and said " Damn, that was
immature of me, but it felt GREAT!"
Immature is good...especially when it comes to humour.

It's more a function of the limited time allotted for each segment of
the program. You'll notice on a few of the more complicated items the
narration is heading towards auctioneer pace to fit all the steps into
the available time. They note when they skip over proprietary steps or
ingredients. The scale of some of the facilities they show is amazing.

My favorite for the pure amusement value was the chick (chicken)
breeding facility with the miles of conveyor belts full of fluffy yellow
chicks.
I think the most amazing one from an automation standpoint was the car
engine plant nearly devoid of humans.

Anybody else remember seeing the original, ultra-low budget version
used as filler segments for Canadian television? No voice-over
narration, just music. Hand-lettered title cards to convey
information. Very quaint.
It is a great show. I have almost all of them recorded.
Lots of wood projects.

Just saw an episode showing how violins are made. Helt together
totally with glue, and expected to last, and be used, for hundreds of
years. Amazing amount of hand work done on one, and even more amazing,
some of the very small planes used, and other tools. Neat.
The same episode showed how one of the most important articles in
the world is made. I'm speaking, of course, of toiet paper. The show
claimed it's sold in packs of up to 30 rolls, but I've never seen larger
than a 24 pack. Heh heh, about a week ago 24 packs were on sale in my
local grocery store, so I got 3, all they had. Marked down to $4.99 a
24 pack, and a day or so later the price was $5.99 a 24 pack. Usual
price is $7.99 a 24 pack. Some of the smaller packs are as much as
$10.99 - and they're maybe 12 rolls. They stock a lot of those one
equals three packs too. I've never found that true. I always wind up
folding about 6 layers, same as the regular rolls. Life is good when
you know you've got spare roll of TP. Plus, when I open a pack, I like
to stack the rolls in different forms. Sometimes it's just the small
things that make likf good.

That was a great episode! The only one better than I watched (woodworking
oriented anyhow) was the hand held piano thing with the baffle... er... it
has a name... Wait a sec... Accordian! That's it...
Can't wait until they make them available on DVD via Blockbuster or
Netflix...

Well, so far I have 7 seasons. The are made for the US market I
