Season 14 · Episode 4
Custom Running Shoes, Axes, Racing Karts, Animatronics
10.021mOctober 16, 2009
Measurements of a runner’s feet and movement are used to create individually fitted shoes, with custom-shaped components joined to supportive uppers and soles. Axe heads are forged, heat-treated, sharpened and mounted on handles; racing karts are assembled around welded chassis and compact engines; and animatronic characters combine sculpted outer forms with internal mechanical and electronic systems.
