Rubber Gloves, Soap Carvings, Aircraft Cabinets, Motorcycle Brake Locks
Ceramic hand forms are coated with liquid rubber, cured and stripped to produce flexible protective gloves. Blocks of soap are cut and sculpted into intricate decorative figures; lightweight panels, veneers and hardware are assembled into cabinets for aircraft interiors; and hardened metal components are fitted with locking mechanisms to create motorcycle brake locks.

Powder Horns, Handcrafted Molds, Pierogi, Inner Tubes
Animal horns are cleaned, heated, shaped and polished before being fitted with plugs and pouring spouts for use as traditional powder horns. Craftspeople produce precision moulds for decorative glassware; rounds of dough are folded around savoury fillings to make pierogies; and rubber tubing is extruded, joined, fitted with valves and vulcanized into tire inner tubes.

Lace, Antique Frame Replicas, Orchids, Unicycle Wheel Hubs
Thousands of threads are guided through specialised machinery to create complex lace patterns. Ornamental profiles are reproduced, joined and finished as replicas of antique picture frames; orchids are propagated and cultivated under carefully controlled greenhouse conditions; and metal blanks are machined and drilled into hubs for unicycle wheels.

External Hard Drives, Frozen Shrimp, Thai Rice Boxes, Paper Towels
Disk drives, control electronics and connection ports are installed inside protective enclosures to make external hard drives. Shrimp are sorted, cleaned, peeled and rapidly frozen; thin strips of bamboo are prepared and woven into traditional Thai rice boxes; and absorbent paper is formed, embossed, perforated and wound into rolls of paper towels.

Tea, Roof Finials, Artificial Flowers, Alloy Wheels
Fresh tea leaves are picked, withered, rolled, oxidized and dried to develop their flavour and aroma. Decorative roof finials are shaped and finished to withstand the weather; fabric petals and leaves are cut, coloured and assembled into artificial flowers; and molten alloy is cast, machined and coated to produce lightweight vehicle wheels.

Gel Caps, Playground Spring Riders, Frozen Pancakes, Natural Rubber
Gelatin is prepared and formed into matching capsule halves before the finished gel caps are inspected and packaged. Moulded figures are mounted on heavy coil springs to create playground riders; batter is portioned, cooked, cooled and frozen into ready-to-heat pancakes; and latex collected from rubber trees is coagulated, rolled and dried into natural rubber.

Aluminum Canoes, Wooden Stave Bowls, Wheelchair Accessible Vans, Marimbas
Sheets of aluminum are formed and joined around supporting ribs to create lightweight canoes. Angled wooden staves are glued into hollow forms and turned into bowls; vans receive lowered floors, ramps and other accessibility equipment; and carefully selected wooden bars are cut, tuned and mounted above resonators to produce marimbas.
