The Secret Life of the Sewing Machine

[Rwest]

I found this, this morning and I thought most here might truly enjoy this piece on the evolution of the Sewing Machine. The narrator even addressess his dirty fingernails at the end.  Ive searched the site and I could not find where it had been posted Prior.

The Secret Life of Machines was a really great series from the 80s!  One of the best at explaining how things work with a slightly gritty edge.  Those old shows are all on his YouTube!  Check out some of Tim Hunkin's new videos from the last year or so.  He has a series from his workshop on practical engineering for makers covering everything from pulleys and levers to basic electrical and electronic design ... from his own experience rather than from a formal engineering point of view.  Really enjoyable to watch.

Thanks @billybopp, Ill be searching for those later on today I had heard of The Secret Life of Machines" but never bothered to look them up until now. I enjoy those kinds of teachable moments and YouTubes. Sure beats politics.
