Maybe my idea isn´t new, but couldn´t cork shavings be used to manufacture cork slippers, like the Birkenstocks?! Wery nice video anyway. I´m an artist myself and i like to watch things being created- not destroyed. Ever since my childhood, i´ve liked these kind of films and i´m very glad that i can watch them on youtube. These are the kind of videos children should watch!!!
What, you a tree hugger? You gonna cry over people taking the cork bark off without damaging or killing the tree? Seriously your that pussified? Corks exist, and will continue being made, get over it.
i love it, on the bike frames they say its aluminum tube but when welding they say its being done with STEEL WIRE , thats a no-no to weld aluminum they MUST use aluminum welding wire.
Later they say the frames are loaded into an industrial oven which hardens the steel. They were using aluminium wire for the welding, just sloppy narration, got the pronunciation correct though. Nice bike.
Wineries are moving away from cork due to chance of mold ruining wine. They're moving towards a synthetic breathable cork. And I'd like to be her bike riding partner. Also, those socks must only be for Halloween. I can't imagine anyone choosing to wear them anywhere else.
At 8:25 on the vid, the mountain bike parts are clamped down and proposedly welded together by a ""steel" welding rod. If it's an aluminum bike, wouldn't it be welded with an ALUMINUM rod? Just sayin...
They're doing the TIG welding on aluminum tubing with aluminum rod, and I think it's a case of writer ignorance where they start mentioning "steel". A small percentage of journalists wouldn't know the difference between steel or aluminum or copper, most likely. It's okay to not know all about every damn thing in the world, but you'd think for a program like this, they'd do a little more research and be a bit more careful when they're striving to be presenting accurate information to the public. Otherwise, there's really no point in producing a series like this. I'm no real expert on metallurgy, but I was a production welder at a firm for 16 years and these guys got it wrong when they referred to the aluminum materials as steel. We all knew we couldn't even use the same gas or MIG wire when switching from mild to stainless, all that stuff has to be basic work know-how to any welder.
This isn't 'How it works' but still 'how it's made' as they don't show how it works but how it's made. How it works would be interesting too for some items.
I commend these people for making an honest living but those jobs at the cork factory have to be so monotonous just like someone already mentioned here.
Stephen Price exactly a mistake, crazy! an alloy weld uses similar rod material otherwise its no good of course, but also they refer to steel frames jusr after, it b.s. in fact
I like this series but all through there are stupid errors, like the alloy bike tubes that are supposedly welded with steel rods, them magically become steel frames in the heat treating oven! The details are everything in documentaries like this!
+greggy weggy I think when he said "this makes the steel harden and the tubes literally insaparable" He was talking about the steel that was added in the welding process, not that the frame is made of steel.
philip gutbrodt ; i am soo sorry to tell you but they can not use steel welding rod when welding alum. tubes, it will not stick at all, they must use alum. welding rod or alum. brazing rod. greggy was correct, no steel rods.
If the material for the frames of the bikes are noted as Aluminum, why is the fellow stating that the pipes are welded together with "a steel rod" and now the frames have somehow changed to "steel pipes", not to be picky but it would be nice if the proper material types should be noted, as Aluminium cannot be welded with a "steel rod" if has to be TIG Welded with an Aluminum rod or filler rod.
I enjoyed the socks segment, because that's all I'm able to wear. I can't wear shoes, due to bone deformities in my feet. I've had two surgeries on my right foot, and one on my left, too remove my toes. My right foot won't heal, so next month, I've got to have my right leg amputated just below the knee. I Love socks! And in the near future, one pair of socks will last me twice as long. And just think of all that money I'm saving on pedicures!! LOL *not 🙁😢
Off cuts are glued and are not porous while cut corks are porous, so with non porous corks, the champagne keeps its fizz while flat wines do not need this because there is no gas to escape

I think every factory should have 3 versions that way they can constantly do upgrades without stopping production, factory 1&2 are to make sure there is always product output and have factory 3 be for experimenting with more efficient technology and processes, then when a better method is found it can easily be adapted to factory 1or2.. =)

There is definitely a difference in flavor between expensive instant coffee and cheap instant coffee!

Re: Mountain Bike build...
Aluminum tubing mentioned initially, then steel welding, then refers to it being aluminum again.
???
Makes you wonder if the commentator had a script, or was he ad-libbing??
"The steel welding bar is heated..."
the bar he is melting to form the weld bead is steel :)
Then says aluminium

Loved the video...thanks for sharing.
You really must decide if it aluminum or steel. It’s not both.
He’s talking about the weld and the frame respectively, it’s really not that hard to actually pay attention to the things you’re trying to critique
It's a process that requires steady hands and the patience of a saint 😂😂🙌
No cork trees were harmed in the making of this video! Lol

Specialist debarkers just sounds funny. Not digging on them or anything but it’s just funny. Hope everyone here is having a great day!
the cork section should be rated X, all those "naked" trees.
This episode is a corker!
the cork machinery looked quite unsafe...
That old man is devoted working in that sock factory in a full suit 🙄🤔
You know its an old program, when the computer screens are huge.
Amazing how this bicycle factory figured out how to change aluminum into steel
... and back again.
6:57 Best part of the vid by far
Aluminum tubes welded with "steel filler rod" I'd like to see how that works out (coming from a welding engineer) i wouldnt buy those frames lmao
Yeah I think the narrator doesn't know what he's talking about there!
I should have read the comments first. You called it right, GM. Bet they put the right nut, on the right screw, lol.

8:05 Freddie Mercury, is that you?
At the cost of sounding very nitpicking you don't use a steel filler Rod when welding aluminum use aluminum filler rod when welding aluminum
Or the fact that disc brakes use calipers to stop the bike.
Thanks for this. Much appreciated.

Steel rod?? Anyone can see it is an aluminum rod.. Oh well..
FUNNY, I THOUGHT THE SAME THING.
SO many cork jokes I just can't even.
Fine cork.
Nice
Woops! Aluminum! Not steel! Dere
Heh, computer cork analysts use cork mouse pads... 4:50
Powder coat that's both paint _and_ varnish? Modern technology is basically magic!
Welding aluminium with a steel welding rod. That sounds weird to me. Isn't aluminium welded with an aluminium welding rod?
barney says hi ; you are correct, they must use alum rod or alum brazing rod not possible to weld alum with steel.
Yes that's one hundred percent correct...you must Tig weld aluminum

you can not weld aluminum with steel rod.

Why is the thread pusher at 19:50 wearing a suit. It looks like he just attended a funeral😅
probably attended the funeral of that guy wearing long sleeves around spinning machines.
I have a PowerPoint presentation tomorrow. I didn’t get even 1 single slide done. I don’t know why I’m here now😑
Quite surprised that aluminium frames are welded with a steel welding rod (8:23).
Because it's a steel frame. It's not until the end that it becomes aluminum.
*update, the woman who designed those sucks was fired and denied unemployment compensation.
9:41 "this causes the steel to harden" that's aluminum buddy
8:30 Plus they're welding with steel?? Most likely it's tig welding.
@@chazguthrieful you mean their welding the aluminum with steel, I don't really know anything about welding I just I've ridden bikes for a long time
@@patrickmurphy3759 Sorry, I was being scarcastic.. You can't do that. Aluminum must be TIG welded with aluminum.
How are they welding aluminum bike tubes together with steel?

Derp. Can any wine connaisseur here tell me why champagne corks are made with the out cuts instead of the real thing?

I wonder if the same factory makes cork board. Also, why are socks $5. / pair if they are so automated. I call shenanigans
Narrator is not really sure what the bikes frame is made of, one minute it's steel next it's aluminum.
