How It's Made

Season 28 Episode 5: Ultra-Thin Glass, Pallet Dismantling Machines, Cupcakes, Seamless Stainless Steel Tubing

Molten glass is drawn into extremely thin, uniform sheets suitable for sensitive electronic and technical applications. Heavy frames, conveyors and cutting mechanisms are assembled into machines that recover boards from used pallets; batter is deposited, baked and decorated as cupcakes; and solid stainless-steel billets are pierced, rolled and drawn into seamless tubing.
