That was awesome watching skilled workers sharing their skills with us turning out a real American made product

[@ecleveland1]

I’m impressed that they are made by hand in America.

There are some life lessons to be learned here.

Certainly does

The humour in this episode is so satisfying.

[@rivkaclifford427]

I used to do staffing for factories; ones making wheels for vehicles, and other things. Factory workers are the glue holding everything together.

[@d3vi0uz1]

This truly makes you appreciate every day things and where they come from, who makes them, and how they're made.

[@mikewozawski1634]

I love seeing made in America

[@michaelvanbuskirk8845]

Getting ready to buy the 10 piece set of this cookware. Love that it's American made and especially love that it's made in Tennessee. Going to be retiring to east Tennessee in 5 years. 😊

[@fearthehoneybadger]

It all panned out.

[@terryferguson5976]

Love this! Never knew so much went in to making pots. All of the peeps at the factory are great!

[@freddyvelasquez4168]

Thank you for showcasing the hardworking and skilled workers of America. Made In America 🇺🇸 products help keep us employed and ensuring manufacturers stay here.

[@usnchief1339]

I love her! People like her make work fun. The over PC office just sucks. I miss the hard working blue color days on my Navy days...talking crap and getting the job done.

[@machinenoise9622]

Made in 'murica! Seems like a great group of people. I'll happily buy from them.

[@aaronmeadows9329]

Everyday I go to in to work here and know that someone somewhere buying this gorgeous cookware will appreciate the time and energy and skill it takes for everything to be handmade of perfection

[@Almightyrastus]

That was awesome to see. She's so much fun.

[@PedroRodriguez-hy5ty]

I love working on these old punch presses

[@philipstaite4775]

I have several pieces of Heritage cookware from their Titanium line. I knew they were hand made, but had no idea just how much work and how many steps went into them. They are beautiful and work great.

[@brianmoody2549]

Learning how something made,gives you a great insight on working together as a team,

[@ZiggZagg11]

In our shop we would be immediately fired if we reached into the pinch points of a press... We had to use suction cup or similar devices (often automated, but not always) to load and unload the product... Yes, it was a pain in the a$$... But, we all kept our hands and fingers... 😊

[@nacs]

Am I the only guy who thinks the host is Buster from Arrested Development?

[@BigboiiTone]

One universal fact of life is you gotta have enough lube. Especially your shafts. If your shaft isn't lubed enough it can cause wasted product and injury. Also that little host guy is adorable, he's basically doing Buster from Arrested Development and getting paid to do it

[@roystongale7975]

I'm was a press setter for many years No way should that press be operated without guards on! 😮

[@aaronmeadows9329]

On the press there's a date it's 1929 and the story is the first stamping press was making parts for airplanes in world war 2 and was also steam powered. No one has been injured by the press only by the edge grinder

Stainless steel pans, cast iron skillets; is Tennessee lowkey the kitchenware capital?🤔

[@davidb2206]

Cast iron is high tech, a very specialized skill and process to get right. Total respect for those workers.

[@julietphillips1991]

A lot of actual human input. I would have thought it would be almost entirely about the machines. Interesting.

[@thomasburke7995]

The best stainless steel cookware was made by All-Clad in Pa. They patented the ply process that the USMINT use for coinage. Wweeellllll they sold out to a conglomerate and with in 3 years stopped making the products in Pa and moved everything to China. When stainless is properly heated and LUBED.. nothing will stick..

[@wright.boy_]

No guarding, hands in pinch points, and no hearing protection - OSHA would love this place. That hand sanding is so insanely dangerous.

[@fubsmcbubs]

I have to imagine putting your hand in like that isn't a good idea. 5:16

[@Souchirouu]

Seems like a lot of good people and a lot of skill involved but man does it feel inefficient. How is it that in 2023 this isn't just a fully automated assembly line? Especially with so many businesses unable to find enough employees you'd expect more automation.

[@TwoAcresandaMule]

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO EMPLOY PEOPLE. Opening line of the video.

[@aaronmeadows9329]

how can it be handmade if you add fancy automation? front to back there's only 23 people and in 2022 we were making a million dollars every week.
