Grass is cultivated in prepared fields before being cut into strips and rolled for transport. Lean meat is sliced, seasoned and slowly dried into beef jerky; heavy steel frames, feed mechanisms and cutting blades are assembled into wood chippers; and laminated maple is turned, coated and decorated to make bowling pins.
Episode 6: Multi-Tools, Jojoba Oil, Marionettes
- 21m
- May 24, 2012
Blades, pliers and other implements are stamped from steel, hardened and folded into compact multi-tools. Jojoba seeds are processed and pressed to extract their liquid wax, while wooden figures are carved, painted, jointed and connected by strings to control bars to create handcrafted marionettes.
Episode 7: Fish Decoys, Film Digitization, Cylinder Stoves, Concrete Light Poles
- 21m
- May 31, 2012
Wooden fish decoys are carved, balanced and painted to attract fish beneath the ice. Motion-picture film is cleaned and scanned frame by frame into digital files; sheet steel is rolled and welded into compact cylinder stoves; and reinforced concrete is moulded and cured into tall light poles.
Episode 8: Bamboo Bicycles, Chainsaw Art, Breath Mints, Manual Motorcycle Transmissions
- 21m
- Jun 7, 2012
Selected bamboo tubes are dried, treated and joined to form lightweight bicycle frames. Artists transform large logs into sculptures with chainsaws; flavouring and sweeteners are mixed, compressed and finished as breath mints; and precision-cut gears and shafts are assembled into manual motorcycle transmissions.
Episode 9: Dinnerware, Air Brake Tanks, Frosted Cereal, Fossils
- 21m
- Jun 14, 2012
Clay is formed, glazed and fired to produce matching pieces of dinnerware. Steel sections are shaped, welded and pressure-tested as tanks for vehicle air-brake systems; cooked grain is flaked, toasted and coated with a sweet frosting; and fossils are exposed, stabilized and prepared by removing the surrounding rock.
Episode 10: Clay, Pitted Prunes, Spurs, Polyurethane Tires
- 21m
- Jun 21, 2012
Raw clay is excavated, crushed, analysed and blended into a consistent material for industrial use. Dried plums are softened, mechanically pitted and graded; metal is shaped and decorated into riding spurs; and liquid polyurethane is poured into moulds and cured around wheel hubs to produce resilient tires.
Episode 11: Tasers, Canned Soup, Jaw Harps & Mouth Bows, Diving Boards
- 21m
- Jun 28, 2012
Electronic circuits, batteries and probe cartridges are assembled and tested to produce conducted-energy devices. Soup ingredients are cooked, portioned into cans and sterilized; metal reeds and resonating frames are fashioned into jaw harps and mouth bows; and layers of reinforced material are moulded into flexible diving boards.
Episode 12: Navajo Rugs, Crude Oil, Kaleidoscopes, Titanium Dental Implants
- 21m
- Jul 5, 2012
Wool is cleaned, spun and dyed before being woven by hand into traditional Navajo rugs. Crude oil is brought to the surface and separated from water and gas for transportation; angled mirrors and coloured pieces are enclosed inside kaleidoscopes; and titanium is precision-machined, cleaned and sterilized to create threaded dental implants.
Episode 13: Space Pens, Reef Aquariums, Metal Caskets, Composite Bike Wheels
- 21m
- Jul 12, 2012
Pressurized ink cartridges and precision ballpoint tips are assembled into pens designed to write in extreme conditions. Glass or acrylic panels, lighting and filtration equipment are combined into reef aquariums; sheet metal is formed, welded and upholstered to produce caskets; and layers of composite fibre are moulded and cured into lightweight bicycle wheels.
