This is one of my personal favorites. It's produced in Canada and has excellent info on how many common everyday items are made.

I watch this show all the time myself. I like seeing all of the wild machinery inside of those factorys, tons of cool stuff.

I like this show also, how much goes into the everyday items that we dont really think about, how much it takes to make them

The deal of repeating every few seconds/minutes is how I spent 30 years of my life working in a factory. It's a boring lifestyle but pays well. I'm done with working now, thanks to the factory pension.

I like this show even though I lived it. The processes are neat to watch. Sometimes I sit and think, 'how the heck did they come up with that process?'

Welcome to the forums, Lug Nut.

Just leave it to an engineer to figure it out. \:\)

I always figured those working inside the machine who must meet certain demands would be better suited to maintain, upgrade functionality and efficiency. Natural progression over time, if only to meet certain expectations while also figuring out a way that is the most simplest/easiest. \:\)

It works both ways.

Sometimes a guy working will come up with a better way of doing a process. Usually though, an engineer will come up with an idea about something and the regular people will have to make it work. It hardly ever, "works just the way they drew it up."
