How It's Made

Season 21 Episode 3: Lace, Antique Frame Replicas, Orchids, Unicycle Wheel Hubs

Thousands of threads are guided through specialised machinery to create complex lace patterns. Ornamental profiles are reproduced, joined and finished as replicas of antique picture frames; orchids are propagated and cultivated under carefully controlled greenhouse conditions; and metal blanks are machined and drilled into hubs for unicycle wheels.
