Still from How It's Made S21E03

Summary

Thousands of threads are guided through specialised machinery to create complex lace patterns. Ornamental profiles are reproduced, joined and finished as replicas of antique picture frames; orchids are propagated and cultivated under carefully controlled greenhouse conditions; and metal blanks are machined and drilled into hubs for unicycle wheels.
