Season 14 Episode 6: Sails, Walnuts, Wheel Immobilizers, Honeycomb Structural Panels

Computer-designed fabric panels are cut, joined and reinforced to create sails able to withstand changing wind loads. Walnuts are cracked, separated and graded, hardened metal components are assembled into vehicle wheel immobilizers, and lightweight honeycomb cores are bonded between rigid outer skins to form exceptionally strong structural panels.
