    Great video, its from “How Its Made” filmed in Quebec. I really enjoy the show, I find the details about mass production of anything to be fascinating. Often the machinery and processes required are far more interesting than the product itself. Metal cymbals (like those found on a drum kit) are another mass-produced-but-made-by-hand product. The manufacturing of auto headlights was also another interesting piece.
