Excellent! That's a funny one..I've always wondered if there is a special interviewing process people go through before coming mirror inspectors. Too good looking and many just won't stop staring at themselves hindering production. Too ugly and those might allow mirrors with defects to pass.

I have been a fan of 'How It's Made' since I was a teenager, 40-plus years now.

"No teen can survive without one!" This line really puts into perspective that even if some things change, others never do. While the thing teens supposedly can't live without has changed over the years, what hasn't changed is parents stating that teens CAN'T live without this certain thing. It used to be mirrors, now it's phones. It's crazy that even after all this time, parents not understanding how kids work is STILL a thing and hasn't changed a bit.
Amazing. As a kid, maybe 6 or older, I was addicted to watching these documentaries, and even though I didn't understand most of what was going on, I loved it. I remember all the music too. Now I run CNC machines, and I'm actually making a setup file for one tomorrow. Funny where life takes you.
I'm glad you remember how much you enjoyed watching documentaries . I enjoyed them as a kid and still do . Occasionally on cable they run a good NOVA program but it's mostly garbage.

For those wondering about the carbide mentioned...actually it's tungsten carbide. A very hard alloy that is often used for cutting tools (mostly metal industry). For simplicity, it's often just referred to as carbide.
The reason why vampires didn't have a reflection is because older mirrors had silver backing, if a mirror didn't have silver in it it would have a reflection.
Silver was considered the metal of purification, especially among Christianity, the reason that you couldn't see a vampire in one was because the vampire is cursed, thus the silver rejected its image.

I get no reflection from ANY mirror. Does being a combo vamp & werewolf do that?
I have to admit, for a How it's Made video, this was some extreme ear candy of soothing music to listen to, especially for something as mystifying and magically fantastical as a mirror.
After conducting extensive and painstakingly in depth research, I have concluded that the American version of this television programme does not have this voice either.
+CuT3 Sniper (Sn1p1ng4L1fe) Yeah, I took a stained glass class, and those tools we used were definitely not pliers one edge was flat and the other curved, so when they clamped it down, it would snap the glass downward, breaking if off from the larger piece.
