Thai Barbecues, Diving Masks and Fins, Bassoons

How It's Made – Season 28

Metal sheets are cut, shaped and joined into domed tabletop grills used for Thai-style barbecuing. Tempered lenses, flexible skirts and straps are assembled into watertight diving masks, moulded rubber or plastic components become swimming fins, and carefully seasoned wood is bored, shaped and fitted with an intricate system of metal keys to create bassoons.
