>> Narrator: WHEN IT COMES TO

KITCHEN ACCESSORIES, MANY COOKS

CHOOSE TO FORGO METAL, PLASTIC,

AND SILICONE IN FAVOR OF A MORE

CLASSIC MATERIAL, WOOD.

WOOD IS NOT ONLY ELEGANT, IT'S

LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERY DURABLE.

AND ITS LOOK FITS IN WITH

TRADITIONAL, CONTEMPORARY, OR

MODERN KITCHEN DECOR.

ROLLING PINS, MEAT MALLETS,

CUTTING BOARDS, TRIVETS ARE

SOME OF THE MANY ITEMS THIS

CZECH COMPANY MAKES OUT OF

BEECH, A HARD AND DURABLE TYPE

OF WOOD.

THE FIRST STEP IS TO DRY OUT THE

LOGS.

THIS PREVENTS THE WOOD FROM

EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING WITH

HUMIDITY CHANGES AND EVENTUALLY

CRACKING.

THE FACTORY AIR-DRIES THE LOGS

OUTDOORS FOR ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS,

THEN HEAT-DRIES THEM IN A KILN

FOR THREE TO FOUR WEEKS.

WHEN THE MOISTURE LEVEL IS DOWN

TO BETWEEN 8% AND 10%, THE WOOD

IS READY.

EACH LOG FIRST GOES THROUGH A

LARGE AUTOMATED HACKSAW.

IT SLICES VERTICALLY, CUTTING

THE LOG INTO SEVERAL PIECES OF

THE SPECIFIC THICKNESS REQUIRED

FOR THE KITCHEN ACCESSORY IN

PRODUCTION.

NEXT, A DIMENSIONING SAW CUTS

THE PIECES TO THE REQUIRED

LENGTH.

THE FINAL SAW CUTS THE PIECES TO

THE REQUIRED WIDTH.

TO MAKE A CUTTING BOARD, THEY

RUN ONE EDGE OF THE CUT PIECE

THROUGH A GLUING MACHINE.

THEN, THEY ASSEMBLE THE PIECES

EDGE-TO-EDGE IN A PRESS.

THE NUMBER OF PIECES THEY PUT

TOGETHER DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF

THE CUTTING BOARD THEY'RE

MAKING.

AFTER AN HOUR CLAMPED UNDER

PRESSURE, THE PIECES BOND INTO A

LARGE PANEL.

WORKERS THEN CUT THE PANEL INTO

THE SMALLER PIECES, EACH OF

WHICH WILL BECOME A CUTTING

BOARD.

A COMPUTER-GUIDED MILLING

MACHINE CUTS THE SHAPE OF THE

CUTTING BOARD, WHICH, IN THIS

CASE, IS A MODEL WITH A RECESSED

MIDDLE DESIGNED TO CATCH CRUMBS.

THEY SUBMERGE THE CUTTING BOARDS

IN VEGETABLE OIL, THEN LET THEM

AIR DRY FOR A DAY.

OILING NOURISHES THE WOOD, WHICH

PREVENTS IT FROM DRYING OUT.

THE OIL ALSO ENHANCES THE COLOR

AND BRINGS OUT THE BEAUTY OF THE

WOOD GRAIN.

TO MAKE ROLLING PINS, WORKERS

FEED THE CUT WOOD THROUGH A

PLANER.

IT FINALIZES THE DIMENSIONS

TO 2.8x2.8 INCHES WIDE BY

10.2 INCHES LONG.

THEN THEY MOUNT SEVERAL PIECES

AT A TIME ONTO A MACHINE WHICH

HAS MULTIPLE LATHES.

AS EACH LATHE SPINS OVER THE

COURSE OF ABOUT 30 SECONDS,

SUCCESSIVE TOOLS TURN THE WOOD

TO A CYLINDRICAL SHAPE...

AND SAND THE SURFACE.

ONE CYLINDER AT A TIME, WORKERS

DRILL A HALF-INCH HOLE RIGHT

THROUGH THE MIDDLE.

MEANWHILE, A SMALL LATHE TURNS

1.2x4.2-INCH BLOCKS OF WOOD INTO

ROLLING-PIN HANDLES.

WORKERS SAW OFF EXCESS WOOD AT

THE OUTER END OF THE HANDLE...

AND SAND THE AREA FLAT.

THE FINISHED HANDLE GOES INTO A

REVOLVING BARREL OF VARNISH FOR

ABOUT AN HOUR.

ALL THE PARTS ARE NOW READY AND

ASSEMBLY CAN BEGIN.

AFTER GIVING THE ENDS A QUICK

SANDING, THEY HAMMER A NYLON

RING INTO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE

OF THE PIN.

THE RING DIAMETER IS SLIGHTLY

LARGER THAN THAT OF THE HOLE SO

IT LOCKS IN.

NEXT, THEY INSERT A ZINC-COATED

STEEL ROD ALL THE WAY THROUGH,

POSITION THE ROLLING PIN IN A

PRESS, FIT A HANDLE ON ONE

PROTRUDING END OF THE ROD, THEN

A SECOND HANDLE ONTO THE OTHER

END.

THEY ACTIVATE THE PRESS, WHICH

FORCES THE HANDLES ALL THE WAY

ONTO THE ROD.

THE PIN ROLLS SMOOTHLY THANKS TO

THE NYLON RINGS.

THESE KITCHEN ACCESSORIES

SHOWCASE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF

WOOD, WOOD THAT'S FSC CERTIFIED,

MEANING IT COMES FROM A FOREST

THAT'S MANAGED ACCORDING TO

STANDARDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION.

>> Narrator: A CENTRAL VACUUM

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PULLED OR

CARRIED FROM ROOM TO ROOM AND UP

AND DOWN STAIRS.

ITS POWER UNIT CONTAINING THE

MOTOR AND DIRT RECEPTACLE IS

MOUNTED ON A WALL, USUALLY IN

THE BASEMENT OR GARAGE.

THIS STATIONARY UNIT CONNECTS TO

PLASTIC DUCTS THAT RUN INSIDE

THE WALLS TO INLETS IN DIFFERENT

PARTS OF THE HOME.

YOU PLUG THE ATTACHMENT HOSE

INTO THE NEAREST INLET AND THE

CENTRAL POWER UNIT SUCTIONS THE

DEBRIS THROUGH THE WALL DUCTS.

BEING STATIONARY, WEIGHT ISN'T

AN ISSUE.

THEREFORE, CENTRAL-VACUUM MOTORS

ARE LARGER AND MORE POWERFUL

THAN THOSE IN PORTABLE VACUUM

CLEANERS.

A FACTORY MAKES THE MAIN BODY OF

THE POWER UNIT OUT OF A STEEL

SHEET ABOUT 4/10 OF AN INCH

THICK.

A PRESS PUNCHES OUT THE OPENINGS

REQUIRED FOR THE VARIOUS

COMPONENTS.

A FORMING ROLLER ROUNDS THE

SHEET INTO THE UNIT'S CIRCULAR

SHAPE.

THEY CLOSE THE CIRCLE BY

TACK-WELDING A FEW KEY SPOTS.

THEN, THEY WELD THE ENTIRE

LENGTH.

THIS CONTINUOUS SEAM MAKES THE

UNIT AIR TIGHT FOR OPTIMAL

SUCTION AND TO PREVENT THE

COLLECTED DIRT FROM ESCAPING.

THEY USE THE SAME MATERIAL AND

TECHNIQUE TO FORM THE SIDES OF

THE POWER UNIT'S LARGE DIRT

RECEPTACLE.

THEN A HYDRAULIC PRESS ROLLS A

RIM AT THE TOP, MAKING THE

RECEPTACLE SAFE FOR THE USER TO

REMOVE, EMPTY, THEN PUT BACK IN

PLACE.

THEY MAKE A RIM ON THE BOTTOM

EDGE AS WELL, SEALING IT OVER

THE BOTTOM PLATE OF THE DIRT

RECEPTACLE.

THEN THEY PUT THE POWER UNIT'S

MAIN BODY ON A HYDRAULIC PRESS

AND SHAPE A RIM THAT CONNECTS TO

THE DIRT RECEPTACLE.

NEXT, THEY MAKE A SUPPORT FOR

THE MOTOR AND TACK-WELD A MESH

BASKET UNDER IT.

THE BASKET SUPPORTS THE VACUUM

CLEANER'S FILTER.

THE POWER UNIT'S MAIN BODY GOES

ON TOP OF THE DIRT RECEPTACLE.

THE MOTOR SUPPORT AND FILTRATION

BASKET FIT INSIDE.

AND A COVER GOES ON TOP.

NOW THE UNIT GETS A COAT OF

HIGH-QUALITY EPOXY PAINT.

THE APPLICATION SYSTEM IS

ELECTROSTATIC, MEANING IT

CHARGES THE UNIT WITH A NEGATIVE

CURRENT AND THE POWDER PAINT

PARTICLES WITH A POSITIVE ONE.

THIS MAGNETICALLY DRAWS THE

PARTICLES ONTO THE UNIT IN AN

EVEN LAYER.

THEN 45 MINUTES IN AN OVEN BAKES

IT ON FOR EXTRA DURABILITY.

THEY SEAL THE CONNECTION BETWEEN

THE DIRT RECEPTACLE AND THE

POWER UNIT MAIN BODY.

THIS MUST BE AIRTIGHT FOR TWO

REASONS -- TO PREVENT AIR FROM

LEAKING THROUGH, WHICH WOULD

LESSEN SUCTION POWER, AND TO

PREVENT COLLECTED DUST FROM

ESCAPING.

NEXT, THEY LINE THE MAIN BODY'S

MOTOR COMPARTMENT WITH

SOUNDPROOFING FOAM.

AN ADHESIVE BACKING HOLDS IT

AGAINST THE COMPARTMENTS WALLS,

AND DABS OF LIQUID ADHESIVE

SECURE THE CORNERS.

THEY INSTALL A FILTER ON THE

OUTSIDE TO CAPTURE CARBON DUST.

CARBON DUST IS A FINE BLACK DUST

WHICH ELECTRICAL MOTORS EMIT.

NOW THEY APPLY DECALS BEARING

THE SERIES NAME AND MODEL

NUMBER.

THEY USE A LASER LEVEL TO

POSITION THEM PERFECTLY STRAIGHT

IN JUST THE RIGHT SPOT.

BACK TO THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT

NOW.

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR SITS ON THIS

RUBBER-FOAM GASKET AND

RUBBER LEGS, BOTH OF WHICH

ABSORB VIBRATION.

THEY ALSO PREVENT METAL-TO-METAL

CONTACT BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND

BODY, THE SECRET TO THE VACUUM'S

QUIET OPERATION.

WHEREAS PORTABLE VACUUM CLEANERS

HAVE A LIGHTWEIGHT MOTOR WITH A

SINGLE FAN, THIS MOTOR IS A

LARGE, HEAVY-DUTY, LONG-LIFE

STEEL MOTOR WITH THREE FANS.

THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GO

INTO THE NEIGHBORING

COMPARTMENT.

THEN WORKERS USE A VARIETY OF

EQUIPMENT TO TEST SUCTION,

VOLTAGE, AND OTHER

SPECIFICATIONS.

THEY CONNECT AN LCD DISPLAY ON

THE OUTSIDE, CAP THE

COMPARTMENTS WITH A

MOTOR-COOLING INSULATED DISK,

THEN THE UNIT'S COVER.

THE FACTORY'S LAB SELECTS A

CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF UNITS AT

RANDOM FOR QUALITY-CONTROL

TESTING.

DURING OPERATION, THE LCD

SCREENS ON BOTH THE POWER UNIT

AND HOSE HANDLE DISPLAY THE

POWER LEVEL.

THEY ALSO INDICATE WHEN THE UNIT

NEEDS TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE,

WHEN TO EMPTY THE DIRT

RECEPTACLE, AND WHEN TO REMOVE

AND WASH THE FILTERS.

>> Narrator: THEY'RE A BOLD

OPTION FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO GO

A BIT WILD WITH THEIR HOME

DECOR.

LARGE, COLORFUL ANIMALS MADE OF

PAPER-MACHE -- INANIMATE, EXOTIC

PETS THAT MAKE QUITE THE

CONVERSATION PIECE.

SOLD IN GALLERIES OR UPSCALE

DESIGN BOUTIQUES, EACH CREATURE

IS A UNIQUE WORK PAINTED BY AN

ARTIST.

THESE LARGE-SCALE PAPER-MACHE

ANIMALS ARE HAND-CRAFTED BY

ARTISANS IN TONALA, MEXICO, A

TOWN RENOWNED FOR COLORFUL,

DECORATIVE ARTS.

THEY CAST THE ANIMAL SHAPE IN

PLASTER AND FIBERGLASS MOLDS.

THERE'S A TWO-PART MOLD FOR EACH

OF THE ANIMALS' MAIN BODY PARTS.

THE ARTISANS DAMPEN PIECES OF

RECYCLED CARDBOARD...

THEN GLUE THEM ONTO THE WALLS OF

THE MOLD CAVITY.

THEY CONTINUE UNTIL THEY'VE

FULLY LINED THE CAVITY FIVE

LAYERS THICK, THREE LAYERS IF

IT'S A SMALL-SIZED ANIMAL.

THEN, THEY CLOSE THE MOLD AND

SET IT ASIDE TO DRY.

DEPENDING ON THE SIZE, THIS

TAKES FROM THREE TO SIX DAYS.

THEN THEY OPEN THE MOLD AND

EXTRACT WHAT IS NOW A HOLLOW

CARDBOARD SHELL OF THE BODY

PART.

THEY ASSEMBLE THE ANIMAL BY

ADHERING ALL THE BODY-PART

SHELLS, REINFORCING THE JOINTS

WITH STRIPS OF NEWSPAPER.

THEN THEY PAPER OVER THE ENTIRE

SURFACE TO EVEN IT OUT.

THE PAPER DRIES IN 3 TO 12

HOURS, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF

THE ANIMAL.

NEXT, THEY MIX TOGETHER TALC,

WATER...

GLUE...

AND WET CARDBOARD.

THIS RECIPE PRODUCES A THICK

ADHESIVE PASTE THAT THEY SPREAD

EVENLY OVER THE ENTIRE ANIMAL.

THE PASTE TAKES ABOUT 40 MINUTES

TO DRY AND HARDEN.

THEN THEY APPLY A SECOND COAT.

WHEN THAT DRIES, THEY WATER DOWN

THE PASTE TO A THIN, RUNNY

CONSISTENCY AND APPLY A THIRD

COAT.

ONCE THAT DRIES, THEY SEND THE

ANIMAL TO THE DETAILING

DEPARTMENT.

THERE, USING THE THICK PASTE,

ARTISTS SCULPT AND APPLY RAISED

BODY AND FACIAL FEATURES.

ONCE THE PASTE DETAILING DRIES,

THEY SAND THE ENTIRE ANIMAL TO

PREP FOR PAINTING.

IN THE ART DEPARTMENT, THEY

FIRST APPLY A PRIMER COAT, WHITE

OR BEIGE.

THIS SEALS THE SURFACE.

ONCE THE PRIMER IS DRY, THEY

PAINT THE ANIMAL'S BACKGROUND

COLOR.

NOW THE TRUE ARTISTRY BEGINS.

USING WATER COLORS, ARTISTS MAKE

THE ANIMALS COME ALIVE WITH

EXPRESSIVE EYES AND FANCIFUL

FEATURES.

NO STENCILS OR PREDETERMINED

DESIGNS.

THE ARTISTS FOLLOW THEIR

IMAGINATION AND CREATE A UNIQUE

WORK OF ART.

THE LAST STEP -- FOUR COATS OF

TRANSPARENT LACQUER IN EITHER A

HIGH-GLOSS OR MATTE FINISH.

THE LACQUER DRIES HARD AS A

ROCK, FORMING AN IMPENETRABLE,

PROTECTIVE LAYER OVER THE PAINT.

THE PAPER-MACHE SURFACE IS NOW

DURABLE AND MOISTURE-RESISTANT.

THESE HAND-CRAFTED ANIMALS ARE

SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS

AROUND THE WORLD, WHICH MIGHT

EXPLAIN WHY IT'S A JUNGLE OUT

THERE.

>> Narrator: WHEN THE PRESSURE

IS ON, THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF

MACHINES REALLY PERFORM.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF

PRESSURE THAT COMES FROM

HYDRAULIC FLUID AS IT'S PUMPED

THROUGH CYLINDERS.

FROM CRANE CLAWS TO SNOWPLOWS TO

A LOT OF MANUFACTURING

EQUIPMENT, HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

ARE TRULY A DRIVING FORCE IN THE

WORLD.

THIS IS FLUID POWER IN ACTION.

PRESSURIZED FLUID PUMPED INTO

CYLINDERS DOES ALL THE HEAVY

WORK, MAKING THIS FORKLIFT

ACTUALLY LIFT.

PRODUCTION BEGINS WITH THE

CYLINDER BARREL.

A BAND SAW CUTS STEEL TUBING TO

THE CORRECT LENGTH.

THEN COMPUTERIZED TOOLS CARVE A

SOLID CYLINDER TO TRANSFORM IT

INTO THE PISTON ROD.

IT'S THIS ROD THAT WILL BE MOVED

BY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO

TRANSFER FORCE TO A MACHINE LIKE

THE FORKLIFT.

THE TOOLS CUT THREADS IN ONE END

AND ALSO CARVE VARIOUS

DIAMETERS.

THIS WILL HAVE A CUSHIONING

EFFECT AS THE MACHINE THE

CYLINDERS POWERS CYCLES DOWN.

THE OTHER END OF THE ROD WILL BE

ATTACHED TO THE PISTON WHICH IS

NOW TAKING SHAPE AS A SPECIAL

TOOL BORES THROUGH THE CENTER TO

CREATE A THREADED HOLE.

USING A SPECIAL GAUGE, A WORKER

MEASURES THE HOLE'S DIMENSIONS

TO CONFIRM THE PISTON ROD WILL

FIT INTO IT EXACTLY.

ANOTHER COMPUTERIZED CUTTER THEN

CARVES GROOVES ON THE OUTSIDE

WALL OF THE PISTON.

WITH THE PISTON NOW COMPLETE,

THEY INSTALL A WEB OF SEALER

RINGS ON BOTH IT AND THE

CYLINDER HEAD, WHICH HAS BEEN

MACHINED IN A SIMILAR FASHION.

THESE SEALERS WILL PREVENT

LEAKING OF THE PRESSURIZED

FLUIDS AS THE PISTON ROD MOVES

THROUGH THE CENTER HOLES OF

THESE PARTS.

THIS BLUE SEALER WILL ALSO ACT

AS A WIPER, REMOVING DIRT FROM

THE PISTON ROD AND KEEPING

CONTAMINANTS OUT OF THE

CYLINDER.

THIS "O" RING INSTALLED ON THE

OUTSIDE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD

WILL STOP FLUID LEAKAGE BETWEEN

IT AND THE CYLINDER BARREL.

WITH THE SEALERS INSTALLED, A

WORKER NOW LUBRICATES THE MOUTH

OF THE CYLINDER HEAD.

THIS ALLOWS FOR THE A SMOOTH

INSTALLATION OF THE PART TO ONE

END OF THE PISTON ROD.

HE THEN SLIDES THE PISTON ONTO

THE OTHER END OF THE ROD AND

SECURES IT WITH A NUT.

HE TIGHTENS THE NUT TO THE ROD

USING AN IMPACT GUN.

PRODUCTION NOW RETURNS TO THE

CYLINDER BARREL AS A ROBOT WELDS

A CAP ONTO IT.

THE OPENING FITTING ADJACENT TO

IT WAS INSTALLED EARLIER TO

ATTACH THE HOSE THAT DELIVERS

THE FLUIDS.

THE WORKER NOW CLAMPS THE

CYLINDER BARREL IN A DEVICE TO

STABILIZE IT.

HE LUBRICATES THE THREADED OPEN

END SO HE CAN EASILY SLIDE A

METAL SLEEVE INTO IT.

THIS SLEEVE PREVENTS SNAGS SO

THOSE CRITICAL SEALER RINGS

REMAIN INTACT AS HE NOW INSERTS

THE PISTON-ROD ASSEMBLY INTO THE

BARREL.

ONCE THE PISTON IS SAFELY IN THE

BARREL, HE REMOVES THE SLEEVE.

HE THEN SHOVES THE ROD FURTHER

INTO THE BARREL AND SCREWS THE

CYLINDER HEAD TO THE THREADED

LIP.

USING A SPANNER WRENCH, HE

TIGHTENS THE ASSEMBLY TO THE

REQUIRED TORQUE.

HE DABS ADHESIVE ONTO A SCREW.

HE INSERTS THE SCREW IN THE

CYLINDER HEAD.

THE ADHESIVE DRIES AND EXPANDS

TO LOCK THE SCREW TIGHTLY IN

PLACE.

THEY NOW ETCH THE CLIENT NAME,

PART NUMBER AND OTHER

INFORMATION ONTO THE ASSEMBLED

CYLINDER USING A COMPUTERIZED

ENGRAVING TOOL.

THIS CYLINDER IS NOW READY FOR

FLUID -- HYDRAULIC-GRADE OIL

SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED TO

OPERATE UNDER PRESSURE.

THE TECHNICIAN ATTACHES HOSES TO

THE CYLINDER TO FILL IT WITH

PRESSURIZED OIL.

AS THE PRESSURE BUILDS AT ONE

END, THE PISTON ROD EXTENDS.

HE THEN SUPPLIES FLUID TO THE

OTHER END AND THE ROD RETRACTS.

HE RUNS A FINGER AROUND THE

FITTINGS AND SEALERS TO CHECK

FOR LEAKS.

HE GIVES THIS HYDRAULIC CYLINDER

THE ALL-CLEAR.

AFTER A GOOD WASH, A WORKER

SPRAY-PAINTS THE HYDRAULIC

CYLINDERS TO PROTECT THE METAL

AGAINST RUST.

NOW COMPLETE, THESE HYDRAULIC

CYLINDERS ARE READY TO LEAVE THE

FACTORY.

THEY'LL SOON BE UNDER A LOT OF

PRESSURE TO KEEP MACHINES AND

MECHANISMS OPERATING.

BUT IT'S THE KIND OF PRESSURE

THEY'VE BEEN MADE FOR.
