Most knives have an uninterrupted cutting edge, but this unique blade has a serrated edge that makes it look like a metal feather.

Here’s another unique Yosegi pattern being made.

Making the Longest Rebar

Making the Longest Rebar

We’ve seen footage from a factory that uses automation to make rebar, but this facility in Pakistan takes a more hands-on approach. Hydraulic Hands posted this video showing how workers break apart large steel bars, heat them in a furnace, and gradually extrude the fiery hot ropes into long sections of rebar, which wriggle across the floor like orange snakes.

For their latest video, they decided to let the candy do its own talking, capturing the sound of its Shamrock hard candies being cracked apart, shaken, and mixed in preparation for sale.

We enjoyed listening to each tap of the hammer.

Volcanic eruptions are known for their visual spectacle. But nature photographer Jakob Vegerfors thinks that sound is just as important as sight.
