I really enjoyed that video. I remember from my time in manufacturing that a lot of real world production is still done on old fashioned lathes from the 1940's. It's mostly just electric motors and better steels that separates them from the original. Fancier, computer aided systems still aren't universally used.
Lathes and mills FTW.

The making of the first Truckla, which is a Tesla pickup truck in case you didn't know: it involves planning/engineering, then the refit and filiming of the commercial.

Custom suspension in a Jeep XJ Cherokee. Made out of metal, rusty metal, and rusty old metal.


He regularly pulls things out that you wouldn't expect a 4.0L Jeep to be able to.

And here's finally the opposite: engineering trash! It's so badly build that it baffles all description. but feel free to take a look for yourself:
