How It's Made

Season 20 Episode 11: Cycling Shoes, Yurts, Marine Plywood, Oil and Encaustic Paint

Supportive uppers are shaped and bonded to rigid soles equipped for bicycle-cleat systems to make cycling shoes. Collapsible lattice walls, roof poles and protective coverings are assembled into yurts; thin wood veneers are cross-laminated with water-resistant adhesive to produce marine plywood; and finely ground pigments are blended with oil or heated wax to make oil and encaustic paints.
