    You know there was a meeting in the editing department to discuss if they should keep the iron shot. Whomever decided to keep it is a genius and deserves a raise. That shot is the most memorable piece of artistic expression I've ever seen in a 'How it's Made' video.

    Me too. That has to be a very intriguing setup. Think of how much sawdust they must generate. I think about the quality of the wood that they must use. I've never seen any semblance of knots or splits nor of twisted grain structure. Very high wood quality to be sure. Tiny little gangs of saw blades at high speed. How often must they change out the blades. What speed must they run to cut such perfect little sticks.

    Watching this, all I can think of is "phossy jaw". Long story short, back in the late 1800 and early 1900s, match factory workers got this thing called phossy jaw. Where the white phosphorous used in the matches at the time (the kind we use now is less toxic) and no safety gear basically caused the workers lower jawbones to turn the consistancy of cheese and become full of pus n rot. Their teeth fell out, their mouths and cheeks became full of holes and their lower jaws literally rotted off their heads. Also, the really badly affected peoples jawbone glowed slightly greenish in the dark (no joke). It also caused brain damage. Look it up for more info. Isnt information fun?

    Maybe a fixed kind of texture can spark fire also? Is there a discovery move on it?

    Once I saw that iron, I realized how match boxes are basically given away everywhere.
