Regarding “How it’s Made” ep 11 today:
If you are detail oriented, note that the machine that shapes the contour of the hockey stick blades is not, as described, a “lathe”, but rather a “milling machine” or “router” (or even “cutterhead”).
Odd they got that wrong, what else do they get wrong that we don’t catch?
