Default ultimate factories.

anybody watching this on National Geographic Channel? from 8pm to 9pm they showed how the Harley V-Rod and Screaming Eagle V-ROD is made from scratch.

next is how they make beer. Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch 100 acre brewery. this should also be good.

I love watching factory tours on PCN. I'm fascinated watching a product being built from nothing and all the procedures and specialized machines that are used to manufacturer it. Or on the other side of how hands on people are in making a product that I wouldn't even think twice about. I can watch the most mundane product being built for hours. I guess I should check out the one on national geographic, but I've already seen a brewery before. The one I watched on Jack Daniels was pretty damn cool.

I also love factories... but I was very disappointed when I came across the candy factory that makes Peeps, those wonderfully delicious sugar marshmallow things.... they let the reported look under the curtain to see how it worked, but they wouldn't allow them to show the actual creation of Peeps, just the packaging

I took the hd tour in York Pa. When I asked why all the crates marked MADE IN JAPAN, Enkei, Showa etc had sheets over them, the guy double talked. All the made in USA they throw in your face is such crap.
