    That was pretty good. It was even mostly accurate - which is unusual for television.
    If I found the same one.

    I remember the "How It's Made" where they showed Echo chain saws being build,not the Stihl. But,I have learned different shows were cast in Canada,and possibly Europe.

    I found it interesting that they had a bag of pine horse bedding sitting next to the stove.

    Thats a decent show. Sometime the machinery is more amazing than the actual product being made.

    Whoever made the first lathe must have had some incredible skills.

    I was told many years ago that a lathe is the only machine that could reproduce itself. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds good.
