Such a heart warming video. People working all day to make 1 chess piece that is sold for less than $1. It'd be great if Discovery UK could show more sweat shops with laborers who work for pennies a day to make things I take for granted.

Back in 1968, I watched my high school (Saltfleet High, Stoney Creek Ont.) vice principal, Tom Manzuk, hand turn a Staunton chess set during after hours in my shop class room. He had no special form blades like these. He was cutting each piece with a fine set of gouges, skew chisels and callipers. They were perfectly proportioned. I have great memories of him in his official capacity. Seeing his lathe skill was an early lesson in human perspective.
