How It's Made

"How It's Made" is a documentary television series. It shows how common, everyday items (including foodstuffs like bubblegum, industrial products such as engines, musical instruments such as guitars, and sporting goods such as snowboards) are manufactured.

There is a Youtube channel about it. We strongly recommend you to visit it and watch as many videos as you can. You will learn a lot of things about technology and your vocabulary will become wider.
