How It's Made

Hi guy's dont know if I the only one who watched it, yesterday on the Discovery programme How It's Made they showed how Mamods are made, I managed to hit the record button and have it on DVD but I had a DVD-Ram disc in at the time and I cant edit it ! But checking the listing it is repeated on 2nd Oct 19.00hrs.

No prob Boss if you cant record it yourself I can do it when next on and if the file is to large to publish can post you a DVD. Two things I noticed and coming from a high tech industry maybe I'm being to critical but the production shop looked very primative and quality control lacking not a good advert for UK production !

Not so worried about primitive workshop - you should see mine!! - the quality control is a very real concern, Mamod really need to tighten it up. Just my view but I have been a serious critic of their products over the last 10-15 years . . .

My thinking is, given that your going to get world wide TV, a free TV advert then you would think Mamod would have made a better effort !

Oh no, not How It's Made! Watched God knows how many in Resistant Materials. They show how to make anything from boiled sweets to a Helicopter!

I'd certainly be interested in seeing that ... but can't receive Discovery Sad

Is the programme is fully dedicated to Mamod or is it just an excerpt? If it's a full hour, I love a copy of it on DVD (any format) and would be happy to pay your costs if you could oblige. A hour long video file is going to be too big to host/download for me.

If it's just an excerpt, you could try compressing the file (if necessary) and hosting it at one of the usual places.

Thanks for recording & posting that, H! Very Happy

Interesting to watch, especially how they solder the steam pipes to the cylinder engine bracket.

I have no problem with who see's it but thanks for asking.
SillyBilly

Thanks but I realise it doesn't matter, because one of the chaps over there has placed it on YouTube.
