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.
I love how it's like, 400 years later and we got it streamlined. Cuts to machines flinging matches everywhere and a literal clothing iron.

Almost every step there were matches flying everywhere. Makes me think one of them could light from enough friction or getting stuck in the wrong area
@Zekurity

Safety matches require a chemical reaction from the lightning strip on the side of the box. So it is impossible for it to light from just friction. Which is why it is a safety match...

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?

Factories - How Its Made. I’ve always thought what makes the thing that makes the thing, and what makes the thing that makes that.
All those excess matches being shoved against boxes and their strikers, it's only a matter of time before they light up and manage to start a fire.
Really good series to watch while weed
If this factory catches on fire. Factory:🧨🔥🔥🔥
cant fucking wait for huggbees to do the "how its actually made" of this lmfaooooooooooo
