Pressed Glass, Pickup Truck Caps, Alpaca Yarn, Utility Knives

How It's Made – Season 22

Measured portions of molten glass are pressed into moulds to create precisely shaped decorative and functional objects. Fibreglass shells are moulded and fitted with windows and hardware to form pickup-truck caps; alpaca fleece is cleaned, carded and spun into yarn; and sharpened blades are installed in moulded handles to produce utility knives.
