I think this hits the nail directly on the head with all the great craftsmen on this forum!
Grab a coffee or soda for this one. 27:20 minute run time.
Enjoy. BTW there are several hundred production and ad video's at hand on this channel.

Were Phillip its certainly worth watching but not sure if I agree with the Master Craftsmen description.

Certain of the jobs are certainly in that category ... think the most obvious is in the foundry stamping out the crankshafts, but the vast majority of the film frightens me to death ........... if anything demonstrates the mass tyranny of the production line its got that shot of the guy standing in the middle of the machine puting bolts in holes that the machine then screws tight.

I been lucky in my working life never to have had to work in this environment ....... the thought of doing exactly the same action all day every day for months/years does not I think make you a craftsman.
