01. Metal and Mighty Machines!
It doesn't matter how old you are this show is always fun. "In the Steel Mill" covers some of the way that material is turned into products for companies to purchase and use (sheet metal, rod, plate, etc). Once you get used to the silly voices this is probably one of my favorite videos showcasing some of the procedures and careers available in the metal industry. In the jewelry or art metal class? This all still applies as we need a raw to get raw materials!
