No, Scott, but I did see how they manufactured and tested rubbers awhile back.

SS, yes that was neat. wish i had a copy of that one. also saw how Trane made their "spine-fin" coils, very good.

 

[cessnarob]

I seen that one and I also seen awhile back a Barry Grant documentary on the Speed Channel that showed alot of neat stuff about his carbs and others..:thumbsup:

I saw that episode last night. Just got done watching the one about sailboat masts. I love that show. No matter what else is on at the time, I just always seem to leave it on that channel.

Too bad it's filmed in Canada. Not that I have anything against them, but I'd like to see American Technology.

 

[webfoot]

Didn't see that one, but I do like the show. What I don't like is the weird music and the guy's boring voice.

 

[cessnarob]

I like the "Dirty Jobs" w/Mike Rowe better though..seems I done seen most the hows it's made..

I always thought it would be cool to see that How Its Made show do an episode at the Stearn pinball factory (Stearn is the last and only manufacture of arcade/coin op pinball machines in the world). I did see a segment of Modern Marvels done there though.

Did they show the station where all the burrs are installed in the metering block and main body passages?

I was wondering if the showed the old, faded Holley drawings they started with........

Truthfully, I like How Its Made, but I hate it also. I'm so use to Modern Marvels where the concentrate on one thing, break it down to show how it works. How It's Made leaves me with more questions than answers...They just go "they put part A into part B and there you have it, a transformer." I want to know HOW it works....which I guess alot of other people do too, since they now have How It Works. That's more interesting to me....I'm one of those kids that took stuff apart to see how it worked.

I watch "How it's Made" and never saw the episode where they made this Canada thing you guys are talking about...

Chuck Hanson set up a tour of Barry Grants place in Dahlonega Georgia for our MSC Club on the way to the Peach State show a few years ago and I rember seeing the machines that were macking the Demon carburetor.
Have they moved from there or was the film crew from Canada?

Yeah, I agree with you on this one.... I wish they would do an entire episode in one place, you can't show somebody how anything is made in the 10 mins that they spend on each topic..I'd like to see some more detail..

I still like the show though, I have a fascination with the manufacturing process in general..

Jesus H. Christ, I knew this was coming.

As I stated, "I have nothing against Canada......"

Perhaps Canadians cannot process American words or read very well?

Had I mentioned China, Vietnam, Mexico or Japan, would anyone have spoken up? :boring:

Take a break, guys.

Check out the credits at the end, JR.
Plus, they show products I've never seen or know of personally. Very interesting show nonetheless.

Yeah, it would make the show more entertaining, but I guess it's made to fit the average American's attention span. 5-10 minutes, then on to the next thing, just like on MTV. Not many people would sit there and watch a whole episode about how to make a power drill or a sink faucet. It sure is a good show, but as someone mentioned: Sometimes it leaves you with more questions than answers.

It's kinda funny sometimes though, I was watching a show about adjustable beds the other evening, and the narrator said: "...and then they make the screws for the mechanism" while showing footage of a screw being threaded. I sure didn't know that the bed manufacturers were set up to cut their own threaded rods...
