I ran across a video I wanted to share that didn't quite fit into the "skills" thread. I realized that this sort of video—industrial scale production—is one of my fascinations. The idea of "industrial scale" is so far outside most people's experience they have no idea what that scale actually is.
The size of the machines, the volume of production, and the sheer mass of materials involved are staggering when compared to our everyday lives.
But there is a subset of these things that are industrial, but labor intensive and dependent on any people and manual processes. These are also amazing. particularly in the context of actually using the products and then seeing how they came to be in your hands.
Both these are really engaging, at least to me, and I strongly expect of you as well, so I started this thread which has a small overlap with the skills thread but is focused on process, not on dexterity.
I'll start this off with a couple of videos—one that I just came across, and one of my very favorite classics. I hope others will post so I can discover new videos I haven't come across yet.
Post and enjoy!
