TV-GSynopsis
How It's Made Season 20 — watch online on iFILM, 13 episodes from 2012, and this one has a milestone buried in episode eleven: the show's 1000th item.
Discovery Channel's documentary ranges through yurts, teepees, cast-iron bathtubs, and gut-string violin bows before devoting a full episode to copper — from ore to finished wire. Absinthe closes the season alongside lever locks and belt buckles. Episode twelve runs three items instead of four, a small anomaly in a format that otherwise runs like its own assembly line. The industry shifts every twenty minutes, which is exactly why twenty seasons in, the show still works. No other format makes absinthe distillation and turquoise jewellery feel like adjacent subjects.
