How Disc Golf Discs Are Made (MVP Manufacturing Tour) - Smarter Every Day 301

Summer of George!

I do want Destin to get back to making shorter videos like his initial, six-and-a-half-minute Prince Rupert's drops video, but I understand that he's just working to optimize for the algorithm. 

At least the Smarter Every Day videos are quality videos from tip to tail, showing brilliant views and asking questions along the way of the entire manufacturing process.

I learn so much from all of Destin's videos.

And I'm going to get myself some of those MVP discs. 

Melting pill bottles into robots. (The Plastic Recycling Episode)

I don't know, man. 

I assume the TheCrafsMan isn't really a felt puppet with a bad soul patch and an oddly affected, slow-paced, Cajun accent.

Then again, in my brief research of TheCrafsMan I can't find anything to say that he isn't that puppet somehow magically brought to life like a golem.

His projects a decently involved, however, so unless you've been doing some injection molding already, you - like me - might not be ready to step right up to this level of crafsing.

Plastic Injection Molding

Well, if they're going to talk about - and briefly focus on - how Lego bricks are made (not Legos, ya savages), then I'm going to post the video.

Our material science class at Princeton High School doesn't get anywhere near practicing injection molding. One of our dreams out in the distance is to sometime get to lost wax casting, but that's about as close as we've considered. In this video, however, The Engineer Guy does a great job explaining the process of injection molding and a bit of the history of celluloid because one of the claimants for the invention of celluloid is the inventor of the injection molding process.

Plus there's the Lego connection...more of which after the break...
