00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:53,067
>> narrator: this edible money
2
00:00:53,067 --> 00:00:54,300
Is a symbolic treat.
3
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:55,867
In some parts of the world,
4
00:00:55,867 --> 00:00:57,600
Chocolate coins are stuffed in
5
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,433
Christmas stockings to celebrate
6
00:00:59,433 --> 00:01:01,200
The charity of saint nicholas.
7
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,700
They're also handed out to
8
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,167
Jewish children during the
9
00:01:04,167 --> 00:01:05,833
Festival of hanukkah to teach
10
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:07,367
Them the value of money and
11
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:09,267
Charity.
12
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:14,800
Chocolate coins don't have any
13
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,433
Purchasing power, but they do
14
00:01:16,433 --> 00:01:18,200
Buy a lot of appreciative smiles
15
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,100
From the kids.
16
00:01:25,067 --> 00:01:27,233
They start with giant chocolate
17
00:01:27,233 --> 00:01:27,833
Bars.
18
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:29,933
Each one is 10 pounds of pure
19
00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:33,067
Chocolate.
20
00:01:33,067 --> 00:01:34,967
The worker transfers the big
21
00:01:34,967 --> 00:01:36,233
Bars to a kettle.
22
00:01:36,233 --> 00:01:38,167
It's a kind of double boiler.
23
00:01:38,167 --> 00:01:40,067
Hot water bubbles and steams
24
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:42,067
Inside a sleeve shell to heat
25
00:01:42,067 --> 00:01:43,700
And melt the chocolate.
26
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,767
There are 2 1/2 tons of liquid
27
00:01:45,767 --> 00:01:48,867
Chocolate in this kettle.
28
00:01:48,867 --> 00:01:50,167
The machine now pumps the
29
00:01:50,167 --> 00:01:51,667
Chocolate through a long pipe
30
00:01:51,667 --> 00:01:53,367
With different cooling zones.
31
00:01:53,367 --> 00:01:55,100
The chocolate thickens but not
32
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,100
To the point of
33
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:57,767
Solidification -- a process
34
00:01:57,767 --> 00:01:58,933
Called tempering.
35
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:00,867
It causes the chocolate to form
36
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:02,733
A precise crystal structure for
37
00:02:02,733 --> 00:02:04,367
Just the right texture and
38
00:02:04,367 --> 00:02:05,067
Taste.
39
00:02:05,067 --> 00:02:07,200
The thick liquid chocolate flows
40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,333
Onto a conveyer that brings the
41
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:11,733
Chocolate under a broad blade.
42
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,067
The blade levels it to a
43
00:02:16,067 --> 00:02:17,900
Specific thickness and spreads
44
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:19,867
It evenly, creating a long sheet
45
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:20,800
Of chocolate.
46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,500
The chocolate now begins to
47
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,067
Coagulate and harden.
48
00:02:24,067 --> 00:02:26,133
To spur that process, it travels
49
00:02:26,133 --> 00:02:28,167
Through a refrigeration tunnel
50
00:02:28,167 --> 00:02:30,167
That is approximately 15 yards
51
00:02:30,167 --> 00:02:30,767
Long.
52
00:02:30,767 --> 00:02:32,600
This journey transforms the
53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,500
Liquid chocolate into a soft
54
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,600
Solid.
55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,733
Next, they clean and prepare the
56
00:02:39,733 --> 00:02:40,233
Die.
57
00:02:40,233 --> 00:02:42,367
It's a spring-loaded device that
58
00:02:42,367 --> 00:02:44,267
Works cookie-cutter style to
59
00:02:44,267 --> 00:02:46,967
Punch out round blanks.
60
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:48,967
There is one big difference.
61
00:02:48,967 --> 00:02:50,833
Each cutter is long and tubular,
62
00:02:50,833 --> 00:02:52,300
So as it punches out the
63
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:53,667
Chocolate blanks, they
64
00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:56,400
Accumulate inside.
65
00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:03,800
The latticework of leftovers
66
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,867
Journeys forward to be re-melted
67
00:03:05,867 --> 00:03:08,133
Into the process...
68
00:03:08,133 --> 00:03:09,967
So not a crumb of chocolate goes
69
00:03:09,967 --> 00:03:11,867
To waste.
70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,333
At the end of the line, dozens
71
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:23,300
Of coin blanks have stacked up
72
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,600
In each magazine.
73
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,733
And piles of leftover chocolate
74
00:03:26,733 --> 00:03:28,833
Have accumulated in a bin that
75
00:03:28,833 --> 00:03:30,633
Will now be transferred back to
76
00:03:30,633 --> 00:03:35,600
The melting pot.
77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,300
Now it's time to print some
78
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:38,433
Chocolate money.
79
00:03:38,433 --> 00:03:40,067
To do this, they wrap the
80
00:03:40,067 --> 00:03:41,933
Chocolate first and then emboss
81
00:03:41,933 --> 00:03:43,633
Both the wrap and the chocolate
82
00:03:43,633 --> 00:03:46,067
Blanks simultaneously.
83
00:03:46,067 --> 00:03:47,467
Here's how it works.
84
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:49,267
Sheets of glossy gold foil
85
00:03:49,267 --> 00:03:51,067
Travel between rollers to
86
00:03:51,067 --> 00:03:52,800
Establish an even tension.
87
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,767
Ahead, a forked arm moves two
88
00:03:54,767 --> 00:03:56,700
Chocolate blanks between the
89
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:57,533
Foil sheets.
90
00:03:57,533 --> 00:03:59,400
Piston-like knives move in to
91
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,267
Wrap, cut, and fold the foil
92
00:04:01,267 --> 00:04:02,500
Around the blanks.
93
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,533
The forked arm then delivers the
94
00:04:04,533 --> 00:04:06,333
Foil-wrapped blanks to a die
95
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:06,933
Press.
96
00:04:06,933 --> 00:04:09,067
It stamps designs on both sides
97
00:04:09,067 --> 00:04:10,633
Of the coins, making an
98
00:04:10,633 --> 00:04:12,667
Impression on the foil through
99
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:13,867
To the chocolate.
100
00:04:13,867 --> 00:04:15,767
The chocolate, although solid,
101
00:04:15,767 --> 00:04:17,700
Is still warm enough to receive
102
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:18,967
The image.
103
00:04:18,967 --> 00:04:20,833
Removed from the machine, here's
104
00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:22,567
What the die heads look like.
105
00:04:22,567 --> 00:04:24,067
These are used to emboss
106
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:25,767
Chocolate coins with american
107
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:28,567
Penny markings.
108
00:04:28,567 --> 00:04:30,433
As for the foil discards, they
109
00:04:30,433 --> 00:04:32,333
Don't end up on the scrap heap.
110
00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:34,133
Instead, they accumulate in a
111
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:35,567
Bin to be sent out for
112
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:37,467
Recycling.
113
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,167
They make 150,000 foil-wrapped
114
00:04:43,167 --> 00:04:47,433
Coins a day.
115
00:04:47,433 --> 00:04:49,067
To change the currency type,
116
00:04:49,067 --> 00:04:52,067
They simply switch die heads.
117
00:04:52,067 --> 00:04:53,667
Chocolate coins can be made in
118
00:04:53,667 --> 00:04:55,500
Many sizes with a range of
119
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:59,067
Different illustrations.
120
00:04:59,067 --> 00:05:00,867
The coins now spill out onto a
121
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:02,633
Conveyor that takes them to a
122
00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:04,533
Bin.
123
00:05:07,633 --> 00:05:09,100
All that's left now is the
124
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:10,667
Packaging, which will be the
125
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:14,700
Traditional mesh bag.
126
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:16,367
From start to finish, it takes
127
00:05:16,367 --> 00:05:17,867
Less than an hour to make a
128
00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:19,867
Chocolate coin.
129
00:05:19,867 --> 00:05:21,600
Gold dollars or $5 poker
130
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,333
Chips, every day, it's a
131
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:25,367
Jackpot of chocolate money at
132
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:26,433
This factory.
133
00:05:26,433 --> 00:05:28,700
So there's never any shortage of
134
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,867
Edible cash, only decisions to
135
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:32,633
Be made -- poker chip or
136
00:05:32,633 --> 00:05:33,800
Chocolate penny?
137
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,367
You could always flip a coin.
138
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,533
>> narrator: in-floor heating
139
00:05:52,533 --> 00:05:54,067
Systems are hardly a new
140
00:05:54,067 --> 00:05:54,667
Concept.
141
00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:56,300
The ancient romans heated the
142
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:58,067
Floors of their bathhouses.
143
00:05:58,067 --> 00:05:59,700
Today's systems use either
144
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,567
Electric cables or hot-water
145
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:03,300
Pipes installed beneath the
146
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:04,533
Floor's surface.
147
00:06:04,533 --> 00:06:06,633
As the floor warms up, the heat
148
00:06:06,633 --> 00:06:08,567
Radiates to people and objects
149
00:06:08,567 --> 00:06:11,967
In the room.
150
00:06:11,967 --> 00:06:13,733
For electric radiant heating
151
00:06:13,733 --> 00:06:15,367
Systems, installers affix
152
00:06:15,367 --> 00:06:17,067
Installation gauges to the
153
00:06:17,067 --> 00:06:18,933
Subfloor, then wind electrical
154
00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:21,333
Cables around those gauges.
155
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,233
When there are no objects such
156
00:06:23,233 --> 00:06:24,967
As bathtubs to work around,
157
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:26,567
Installers can roll out a
158
00:06:26,567 --> 00:06:28,133
Fiberglass mat that has the
159
00:06:28,133 --> 00:06:29,700
Cable embedded.
160
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:31,433
Once the cables are in place,
161
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:33,067
The installers lay down the
162
00:06:33,067 --> 00:06:33,633
Floor.
163
00:06:33,633 --> 00:06:35,433
Radiant heating systems can be
164
00:06:35,433 --> 00:06:37,167
Installed under most types of
165
00:06:37,167 --> 00:06:37,867
Flooring.
166
00:06:37,867 --> 00:06:39,433
It's up to 28% more energy
167
00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:41,133
Efficient than forced-air or
168
00:06:41,133 --> 00:06:42,500
Baseboard heating.
169
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,500
At the core of those electric
170
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,467
Heating cables are copper or
171
00:06:46,467 --> 00:06:48,233
Copper-alloy wires called
172
00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:49,167
Conductors.
173
00:06:49,167 --> 00:06:51,267
An unwinding system feeds each
174
00:06:51,267 --> 00:06:52,633
Spool of conductor to an
175
00:06:52,633 --> 00:06:54,433
Extrusion machine.
176
00:06:54,433 --> 00:06:56,467
Extrusion machines force molten
177
00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:58,133
Plastic through a die to form a
178
00:06:58,133 --> 00:07:00,267
Particular shape.
179
00:07:00,267 --> 00:07:01,800
They load the raw plastic
180
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,667
Pellets into a receptacle called
181
00:07:03,667 --> 00:07:05,233
A hopper at the top of the
182
00:07:05,233 --> 00:07:05,900
Machine.
183
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:07,567
The pellets drop down into a
184
00:07:07,567 --> 00:07:09,200
Heating device that quickly
185
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Liquefies them.
186
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,733
The machine then forces the
187
00:07:11,733 --> 00:07:13,433
Molten plastic through a round
188
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,067
Die, forming a plastic jacket
189
00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:16,667
Around the conductor passing
190
00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:18,300
Through.
191
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,233
This jacket insulates the bare
192
00:07:20,233 --> 00:07:22,067
Wire.
193
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:23,300
A water bath cools the
194
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:24,933
Still-warm plastic to prevent
195
00:07:24,933 --> 00:07:26,500
Sticking as they wind up the
196
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,900
Conductor on a spool.
197
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,533
The next machine takes two
198
00:07:33,533 --> 00:07:35,533
Insulated conductors and twists
199
00:07:35,533 --> 00:07:37,300
Them together into a single
200
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:38,467
Strand.
201
00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:42,667
This forms a paired conductor.
202
00:07:42,667 --> 00:07:44,567
Then the next machine braids 16
203
00:07:44,567 --> 00:07:46,433
Spools of triple-strand copper
204
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,867
Wire around the paired
205
00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:48,633
Conductor.
206
00:07:48,633 --> 00:07:50,600
This copper braid is the ground.
207
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,300
The ground will capture any
208
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,267
Electrical leak should the cable
209
00:07:54,267 --> 00:07:55,600
Get damaged, preventing
210
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,767
Electrocution.
211
00:07:57,767 --> 00:07:59,667
The cable's internal wiring is
212
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:01,467
Complete.
213
00:08:01,467 --> 00:08:03,233
Now they run it through an
214
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:05,233
Alignment jig that straightens
215
00:08:05,233 --> 00:08:07,167
And smooths everything out in
216
00:08:07,167 --> 00:08:08,533
Preparation for the next
217
00:08:08,533 --> 00:08:10,167
Extrusion process, which coats
218
00:08:10,167 --> 00:08:11,767
The wiring in a final plastic
219
00:08:11,767 --> 00:08:13,667
Jacket.
220
00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:18,967
Then they wind up the cable on a
221
00:08:18,967 --> 00:08:20,433
Spool to prepare it for
222
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:23,067
Packaging...
223
00:08:23,067 --> 00:08:24,733
And put one end into a machine
224
00:08:24,733 --> 00:08:26,467
That cuts off an inch or so of
225
00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:27,067
Jacket.
226
00:08:27,067 --> 00:08:28,433
After soldering the two
227
00:08:28,433 --> 00:08:30,233
Conductors to each other so that
228
00:08:30,233 --> 00:08:32,067
The electrical current goes out
229
00:08:32,067 --> 00:08:33,800
On one and returns on the other,
230
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,467
They insulate this connection
231
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:37,100
From the braided ground with
232
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,367
Transparent heat-shrink plastic.
233
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:42,300
Then they pull the ground over
234
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,333
The now-insulated end and cover
235
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:46,100
It with a black heat-shrink
236
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:46,900
Plastic.
237
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:49,133
This seals the end of the cable
238
00:08:49,133 --> 00:08:51,367
So that water can't seep in and
239
00:08:51,367 --> 00:08:55,267
Short out the wiring.
240
00:08:55,267 --> 00:08:56,800
Another machine produces the
241
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,500
Cable that brings power from the
242
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:00,200
Wall-mounted thermostat to the
243
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,133
Heating cables under the floor.
244
00:09:02,133 --> 00:09:03,767
It's called the cold lead
245
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:05,700
Because it leads to the heating
246
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:07,467
Cable, yet itself doesn't heat
247
00:09:07,467 --> 00:09:09,400
Up.
248
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,233
This machine cuts the average
249
00:09:11,233 --> 00:09:13,233
Production run of 8 1/2 miles of
250
00:09:13,233 --> 00:09:15,067
Cold-lead cable into several
251
00:09:15,067 --> 00:09:17,067
Cables of standard length,
252
00:09:17,067 --> 00:09:19,067
Either 2 or 3 yards long
253
00:09:19,067 --> 00:09:21,967
Depending on the product format.
254
00:09:21,967 --> 00:09:23,633
The cold lead is comprised of
255
00:09:23,633 --> 00:09:25,333
Two conductors and a separate
256
00:09:25,333 --> 00:09:29,733
Ground wire.
257
00:09:29,733 --> 00:09:31,300
Workers connect it to the
258
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:32,733
Heating cable by fusing
259
00:09:32,733 --> 00:09:34,333
Conductor to conductor and
260
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:36,833
Ground to ground.
261
00:09:36,833 --> 00:09:38,567
They protect this junction with
262
00:09:38,567 --> 00:09:40,067
A hard plastic cover called a
263
00:09:40,067 --> 00:09:41,267
Mechanical joint.
264
00:09:41,267 --> 00:09:43,067
This, too, must be sealed to
265
00:09:43,067 --> 00:09:45,067
Prevent any water infiltration.
266
00:09:45,067 --> 00:09:46,833
After all, heating cables are
267
00:09:46,833 --> 00:09:48,767
Often installed under floors in
268
00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,333
Wet environments such as
269
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:51,167
Bathrooms.
270
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:52,900
So, they seal the joint by
271
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,967
Injecting enough polyurethane to
272
00:09:54,967 --> 00:09:56,767
Fill every nook and cranny.
273
00:09:56,767 --> 00:09:58,767
The polyurethane takes three to
274
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:00,267
Four minutes to dry, then
275
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,300
Another 24 hours to fully
276
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:04,933
Harden.
277
00:10:04,933 --> 00:10:06,567
This machine assembles the
278
00:10:06,567 --> 00:10:08,433
Other format -- the roll-out mat
279
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:10,533
With heating cable embedded.
280
00:10:10,533 --> 00:10:12,433
First, it winds cable the same
281
00:10:12,433 --> 00:10:14,200
Way an installer would onto
282
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,767
Installation gauges.
283
00:10:16,767 --> 00:10:18,333
Then it secures it to an
284
00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:20,367
Adhesive-backed fiberglass mesh.
285
00:10:20,367 --> 00:10:22,033
Three strips of adhesive tape
286
00:10:22,033 --> 00:10:24,333
Above and below reinforce the
287
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,533
Bond.
288
00:10:26,533 --> 00:10:28,267
The mat format is sold by the
289
00:10:28,267 --> 00:10:30,033
Roll, while the loose cable is
290
00:10:30,033 --> 00:10:31,400
Packaged in a kit with
291
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,067
Installation gauges and glue
292
00:10:33,067 --> 00:10:34,833
Sticks to adhere the gauges to
293
00:10:34,833 --> 00:10:36,767
The subfloor.
294
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:52,367
Narrator: it looks like a car
295
00:10:52,367 --> 00:10:54,167
And it drives like a tricycle --
296
00:10:54,167 --> 00:10:55,533
A child-size version of a
297
00:10:55,533 --> 00:10:57,367
Motorized three-wheeler vehicle,
298
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:58,467
Popular in the early
299
00:10:58,467 --> 00:10:59,600
20th century.
300
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,533
Instead of gas, pedal power
301
00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:03,500
Propels this replica forward.
302
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,667
Based on actual vehicles, a wave
303
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:08,067
Of nostalgia has put pedal cars
304
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:12,967
On the road to a comeback.
305
00:11:12,967 --> 00:11:14,933
An old-style pedal car is a
306
00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:17,067
Snazzy toy with a sleek metal
307
00:11:17,067 --> 00:11:19,367
Body and real rubber tires.
308
00:11:19,367 --> 00:11:21,533
Highly collectible, owning one
309
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:24,133
Is a trip down memory lane.
310
00:11:24,133 --> 00:11:25,967
Production starts with the pedal
311
00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:27,067
Car's wood floor.
312
00:11:27,067 --> 00:11:28,533
The worker places a metal
313
00:11:28,533 --> 00:11:30,233
Template of the floor under a
314
00:11:30,233 --> 00:11:31,667
Sheet of ash plywood and
315
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:33,333
Transfers the two to a router
316
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:34,467
Table.
317
00:11:34,467 --> 00:11:36,267
With a pin in the template below
318
00:11:36,267 --> 00:11:37,767
To guide him, he moves the
319
00:11:37,767 --> 00:11:40,333
Plywood as the router cuts it.
320
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,267
This produces a part that's the
321
00:11:42,267 --> 00:11:44,067
Precise size and shape needed
322
00:11:44,067 --> 00:11:49,067
For the pedal-car floor.
323
00:11:49,067 --> 00:11:51,133
Using the same system, he cuts a
324
00:11:51,133 --> 00:11:53,167
Slot for the pedals and another
325
00:11:53,167 --> 00:11:55,067
One for the rear wheel.
326
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:02,800
He evens the edges with a hand
327
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,467
Router, giving the pedal-car
328
00:12:04,467 --> 00:12:06,367
Floor a finer look and feel.
329
00:12:10,767 --> 00:12:12,333
He glues supports for the
330
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:14,100
Backrest close to the rear of
331
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:15,600
The floorboard.
332
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,433
He props the backrest against
333
00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:19,367
The supports and screws it into
334
00:12:19,367 --> 00:12:22,233
Position.
335
00:12:22,233 --> 00:12:23,633
He installs the dashboard
336
00:12:23,633 --> 00:12:25,233
Framework further towards the
337
00:12:25,233 --> 00:12:26,267
Front.
338
00:12:26,267 --> 00:12:28,233
Next, they varnish the laminated
339
00:12:28,233 --> 00:12:30,133
Ash dashboard a deep, rich hue,
340
00:12:30,133 --> 00:12:32,100
To replicate the look of the one
341
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:33,933
In the original three-wheeler
342
00:12:33,933 --> 00:12:34,633
Vehicle.
343
00:12:34,633 --> 00:12:36,200
And now for the body of the
344
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,733
Pedal car.
345
00:12:37,733 --> 00:12:39,567
A welder tacks together the two
346
00:12:39,567 --> 00:12:41,367
Parts of the aluminum shell and
347
00:12:41,367 --> 00:12:42,800
Seals them with special
348
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,567
Adhesive.
349
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:47,100
They then screw the wooden
350
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,600
Framework to the aluminum body.
351
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,367
After a thorough cleaning, they
352
00:12:51,367 --> 00:12:53,067
Paint a primer coat onto the
353
00:12:53,067 --> 00:12:55,767
Metal.
354
00:12:55,767 --> 00:12:57,400
Then it's in to the paint booth
355
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,067
For a glossy coat of automotive
356
00:12:59,067 --> 00:13:03,433
Paint.
357
00:13:03,433 --> 00:13:04,833
In the meantime, the metal
358
00:13:04,833 --> 00:13:06,200
Chassis of the pedal car
359
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,833
Comes together.
360
00:13:07,833 --> 00:13:09,767
A worker mounts a dummy twin
361
00:13:09,767 --> 00:13:10,900
Engine to the front.
362
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:12,733
In this pedal-powered replica,
363
00:13:12,733 --> 00:13:14,567
The engine's purpose is purely
364
00:13:14,567 --> 00:13:16,267
Decorative.
365
00:13:16,267 --> 00:13:17,933
The headlights, though, are
366
00:13:17,933 --> 00:13:18,667
Real.
367
00:13:18,667 --> 00:13:20,100
He attaches those to the
368
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:21,633
Chassis, complete with the
369
00:13:21,633 --> 00:13:23,433
Hooded framework distinctive to
370
00:13:23,433 --> 00:13:24,833
The original, full-size
371
00:13:24,833 --> 00:13:26,667
Three-wheeled car from a century
372
00:13:26,667 --> 00:13:32,100
Ago.
373
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,133
He then fits the tires to the
374
00:13:34,133 --> 00:13:35,133
Chassis.
375
00:13:35,133 --> 00:13:36,567
They're cycle tires,
376
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:38,700
Child-sized, to fit the scale of
377
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:40,300
This toy-car replica.
378
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:42,267
A quick spin confirms they're
379
00:13:42,267 --> 00:13:44,967
Operational.
380
00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:46,767
He mounts the fenders to the
381
00:13:46,767 --> 00:13:48,633
Frame just above the tires and
382
00:13:48,633 --> 00:13:50,067
Secures them with metal
383
00:13:50,067 --> 00:13:51,133
Brackets.
384
00:13:51,133 --> 00:13:52,567
The fenders will guard against
385
00:13:52,567 --> 00:13:57,667
Splashing mud and water.
386
00:13:57,667 --> 00:13:59,467
He now transfers the car body to
387
00:13:59,467 --> 00:14:01,067
The three-wheeled chassis.
388
00:14:01,067 --> 00:14:02,700
He aligns it with fixing points
389
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,500
On the chassis and then screws
390
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:09,133
It into place.
391
00:14:09,133 --> 00:14:11,100
Next, he hooks up the exhaust
392
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,767
Pipe.
393
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:14,367
Like the engine, it's an
394
00:14:14,367 --> 00:14:17,067
Imitation, but it looks real.
395
00:14:17,067 --> 00:14:18,467
He fits an aluminum grille
396
00:14:18,467 --> 00:14:20,133
To the front of the pedal car,
397
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:23,667
Just behind the mock engine.
398
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:25,333
He installs a small windshield
399
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:26,767
In front of the pedal-car
400
00:14:26,767 --> 00:14:30,600
Cockpit.
401
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,600
And now he pops the dashboard,
402
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,700
Equipped with a speed dial, into
403
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:35,667
Place.
404
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:37,433
It fits into the pedal car's
405
00:14:37,433 --> 00:14:40,233
Hooped frame perfectly.
406
00:14:40,233 --> 00:14:41,933
He wires the battery-operated
407
00:14:41,933 --> 00:14:43,533
Headlights to the dashboard
408
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:45,067
Switch.
409
00:14:45,067 --> 00:14:46,767
He attaches the hand brake to
410
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:48,667
The side of the cab and runs the
411
00:14:48,667 --> 00:14:49,933
Braking cables to the rear
412
00:14:49,933 --> 00:14:55,333
Wheel.
413
00:14:55,333 --> 00:14:56,967
He threads the steering-wheel
414
00:14:56,967 --> 00:14:58,300
Column down through the
415
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:00,067
Dashboard to steering arms on
416
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:02,067
The front wheel axle.
417
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,400
He clamps it to the steering
418
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,367
Arms...
419
00:15:06,367 --> 00:15:07,900
And makes some adjustments to
420
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:09,567
Precisely position the column to
421
00:15:09,567 --> 00:15:12,367
The shaft.
422
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:14,067
He fits the padded leather seat
423
00:15:14,067 --> 00:15:15,833
Into the cab, and this completes
424
00:15:15,833 --> 00:15:17,200
The construction of this
425
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,900
Pedal-powered replica car.
426
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:22,100
It takes about 40 hours to make
427
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,267
One of those retro toys.
428
00:15:24,267 --> 00:15:26,400
When it comes to the authentic
429
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,567
Touches, dave spared no expense
430
00:15:28,567 --> 00:15:30,700
And expended great effort.
431
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,500
It's time for a spin to the
432
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,067
Playground and some good
433
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,867
Old-fashioned fun.
434
00:15:50,467 --> 00:15:52,067
Narrator: some people enjoy
435
00:15:52,067 --> 00:15:53,667
Playing combat games on video
436
00:15:53,667 --> 00:15:55,567
Systems, while others prefer to
437
00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:57,300
Exchange the controller for a
438
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:58,800
Fake weapon, dress up in
439
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,767
Costume, and act out the fantasy
440
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:02,500
With those who share the same
441
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:03,500
Passion.
442
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:05,633
It's called live-action
443
00:16:05,633 --> 00:16:07,933
Role-playing, and there's
444
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:10,067
Typically a medieval or
445
00:16:10,067 --> 00:16:12,267
Apocalyptic theme to it.
446
00:16:12,267 --> 00:16:14,367
These weapons sure look like the
447
00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:16,300
Real thing -- so much so that
448
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,333
This company also sells them as
449
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:23,100
Film and theater props.
450
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,967
But as menacing as these axes
451
00:16:24,967 --> 00:16:27,067
And swords appear, they couldn't
452
00:16:27,067 --> 00:16:28,633
Even hurt a fly because they're
453
00:16:28,633 --> 00:16:31,167
Blades are made of latex.
454
00:16:31,167 --> 00:16:33,067
In the weapons workshop, they
455
00:16:33,067 --> 00:16:34,933
Begin the sword-making process
456
00:16:34,933 --> 00:16:37,133
By constructing the blade.
457
00:16:37,133 --> 00:16:38,600
After tracing a template on a
458
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,100
4/10-of-an-inch-thick piece of
459
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,133
Flexible waterproof foam, they
460
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:43,867
Cut out two blade halves with a
461
00:16:43,867 --> 00:16:46,067
Utility knife.
462
00:16:46,067 --> 00:16:47,900
After slitting one of them down
463
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,833
The middle, they glue in a rigid
464
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:51,767
4/10-of-an-inch fiberglass core.
465
00:16:51,767 --> 00:16:53,667
This makes the sword blade stiff
466
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:55,533
Enough for combat, yet flexible
467
00:16:55,533 --> 00:16:57,767
Enough to not break.
468
00:16:57,767 --> 00:16:59,567
Next, they glue a strip of
469
00:16:59,567 --> 00:17:01,633
Durable polyester fabric over
470
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:02,300
The core.
471
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:03,833
This acts as reinforcement,
472
00:17:03,833 --> 00:17:05,433
Preventing the tip of the core
473
00:17:05,433 --> 00:17:08,233
From poking through the foam.
474
00:17:08,233 --> 00:17:09,733
Now they glue the second blade
475
00:17:09,733 --> 00:17:11,067
Half over the first one,
476
00:17:11,067 --> 00:17:14,600
Sandwiching the core.
477
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,200
The glue is a rubber-based
478
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,667
Adhesive that bonds with
479
00:17:17,667 --> 00:17:19,533
Pressure that they apply with a
480
00:17:19,533 --> 00:17:26,100
Heavy marble rolling pin.
481
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:27,967
Next, using a band sander, they
482
00:17:27,967 --> 00:17:29,600
Sculpt the blade's cutting
483
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,067
Edges.
484
00:17:35,067 --> 00:17:36,533
Then they remove the foam
485
00:17:36,533 --> 00:17:41,700
Residue with a rotary tool.
486
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:43,767
Next, they take a wood-burning
487
00:17:43,767 --> 00:17:45,967
Iron and melt the foam in select
488
00:17:45,967 --> 00:17:47,867
Spots to create the look of
489
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:50,767
Battle scars.
490
00:17:50,767 --> 00:17:52,700
Then they spray on five to six
491
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:54,200
Coats of latex rubber.
492
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,233
This forms a protective shield
493
00:17:56,233 --> 00:17:58,333
Over the foam without hindering
494
00:17:58,333 --> 00:18:00,367
The blade's flexibility.
495
00:18:00,367 --> 00:18:02,367
Next, using an air brush, they
496
00:18:02,367 --> 00:18:04,467
Apply two coats of acrylic-based
497
00:18:04,467 --> 00:18:06,667
Latex paint -- first black, then
498
00:18:06,667 --> 00:18:09,967
Silver.
499
00:18:09,967 --> 00:18:11,467
They brush on a thick coat of
500
00:18:11,467 --> 00:18:13,333
Black paint, then wipe it off.
501
00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:15,367
This wash, as it's called,
502
00:18:15,367 --> 00:18:19,633
Creates the look of aged metal.
503
00:18:19,633 --> 00:18:21,600
And finally, they lightly dab
504
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600
Some silver acrylic paint over
505
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,300
Select spots to highlight
506
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,733
Details.
507
00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:32,067
From foam to main component of a
508
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:34,233
Lethal weapon in just a few easy
509
00:18:34,233 --> 00:18:37,300
Steps.
510
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,067
They finish off their handiwork
511
00:18:39,067 --> 00:18:40,600
By stenciling on the company
512
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,133
Logo in gold acrylic paint.
513
00:18:46,133 --> 00:18:48,367
Now for the sword's handle.
514
00:18:48,367 --> 00:18:49,933
They drill a hole lengthwise
515
00:18:49,933 --> 00:18:51,300
Through a cylinder made of
516
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:53,067
Walnut and glue a steel tube
517
00:18:53,067 --> 00:18:56,067
Inside.
518
00:18:56,067 --> 00:18:57,900
Then they glue leather around
519
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:03,167
The wood...
520
00:19:03,167 --> 00:19:04,700
And wrap a leather ribbon around
521
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:06,600
It for decoration.
522
00:19:12,167 --> 00:19:13,800
To give it a worn appearance,
523
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,500
They lightly sand parts of the
524
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:18,300
Surface.
525
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,067
To make ornate handles, an
526
00:19:20,067 --> 00:19:22,067
Artist first sculpts a model out
527
00:19:22,067 --> 00:19:23,900
Of lindenwood.
528
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,200
Using that wooden model, they
529
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,667
Cast a silicon mold.
530
00:19:32,667 --> 00:19:34,733
Then they pour rubber into the
531
00:19:34,733 --> 00:19:40,067
Mold to cast a handle.
532
00:19:40,067 --> 00:19:41,900
For that leather-covered wooden
533
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:43,467
Handle, they cast only the
534
00:19:43,467 --> 00:19:45,333
Components above and below it in
535
00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:48,100
Rubber.
536
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:49,767
After trimming off the excess
537
00:19:49,767 --> 00:19:51,900
Rubber, they paint it to look
538
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:54,333
Like metal.
539
00:19:54,333 --> 00:19:56,333
To assemble the sword, they glue
540
00:19:56,333 --> 00:19:58,200
The handle components onto the
541
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,100
Core, which protrudes from the
542
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,000
Base of the blade.
543
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,100
First, they position the guard.
544
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:04,867
It stops the opposing sword from
545
00:20:04,867 --> 00:20:06,600
Sliding down past the blade and
546
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Cutting your hand.
547
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,033
Next, the handle.
548
00:20:12,033 --> 00:20:13,967
And last, the pommel.
549
00:20:14,133 --> 00:20:15,667
It blocks the end of the handle
550
00:20:15,667 --> 00:20:16,967
To prevent the sword from
551
00:20:16,967 --> 00:20:22,100
Sliding out of your hand.
552
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,967
Each sword this workshop creates
553
00:20:23,967 --> 00:20:25,400
Comes with a scabbard, a
554
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,700
Protective leather sheath.
555
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:29,133
They boil and wax the leather
556
00:20:29,133 --> 00:20:31,567
To make it rigid.
557
00:20:31,567 --> 00:20:33,433
The workshop also makes daggers
558
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:35,100
And other realistic-looking
559
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,500
Weaponry -- all you need to
560
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,567
Bring out your inner warrior.
