You know there was a meeting in the editing department to discuss if they should keep the iron shot. Whomever decided to keep it is a genius and deserves a raise. That shot is the most memorable piece of artistic expression I've ever seen in a 'How it's Made' video.
@@user-yx5pd7yi8o south east asia or anywhere its just how they keep it cheap... if match box cost more you wouldn’t buy. its such a basic product to do the job the cheaper the better. plus bigger factories wont allow cameras 1st because of competition 2nd because almost a;lways they are in some kind of minor safety violation or not so clean or hygiene....
I laughed way too hard when I saw that like I had to do a double take and rewind 2-3 times to make sure I was seeing that like it was a deadass hot iron 😂😂😂

"The machine is calibrated to fill each box with a set amount of matches and reject the extra ones" *LOOSE MATCHES RANDOMLY FLINGING ALL OVER THE PLACE*
Safety matches require a chemical reaction from the lightning strip on the side of the box. So it is impossible for it to light from just friction. Which is why it is a safety match...
@@Zekurity no it’s not impossible, try breaking off the match head composition, put it on a hard surface and hit it with a hammer and it will explode, the match heads contain potassium chlorate and potassium chlorate with pretty much any dry fuel is extremely friction sensitive
Me too. That has to be a very intriguing setup. Think of how much sawdust they must generate. I think about the quality of the wood that they must use. I've never seen any semblance of knots or splits nor of twisted grain structure. Very high wood quality to be sure. Tiny little gangs of saw blades at high speed. How often must they change out the blades. What speed must they run to cut such perfect little sticks.
Watching this, all I can think of is "phossy jaw". Long story short, back in the late 1800 and early 1900s, match factory workers got this thing called phossy jaw. Where the white phosphorous used in the matches at the time (the kind we use now is less toxic) and no safety gear basically caused the workers lower jawbones to turn the consistancy of cheese and become full of pus n rot. Their teeth fell out, their mouths and cheeks became full of holes and their lower jaws literally rotted off their heads. Also, the really badly affected peoples jawbone glowed slightly greenish in the dark (no joke). It also caused brain damage. Look it up for more info. Isnt information fun?
given that it is indeed a match factory, I can only imagine that anyone found within a hundred yards with anything even remotely capable of starting a fire on their person is beaten near death by the factory workers
Other companies: "We got Discovery coming to film today so let's clean up get everything ready." This company: "Discovery is coming today and, yeah, just keep working."
Did you know if you strike a match or two after you take a crap in a bathroom, it eliminates the smell? Well it does. I keep a couple of boxes in my bathroom just for that purpose. Just blow out the match one second after it starts to burn. It’s the sulfur in the match that does it. You’re welcome.
I once worked for a Chinese optic fibre firm in the UK. Don't get me wrong, they produced stunning stuff, but oh boy, they had copper wire stuffed into the live holes on sockets without plug nor fuse. Bulb wattages were just a pointless concept to them, so they'd constantly blow out. Staff would climb into autoclave ovens to clean filters, while there was no safety override, should someone switch it on. We even used to heat meals in the autoclaves - a trick taught to us by the owners. They were strict too. A minute late from your 25 minute lunch break and they would shout at you, right in your face and dock an hour's wage. None of us thought it was legal, but none of us dared to ask. I once heard the manager tell a sick employee over the phone that if he didn't come into work, he would find him and then push him over a cliff. LOL - the Chinese!
I feel like the main reason huggbees hasn't done this one yet is because how do you compete with a completely serious voice over of a process involving matches and a _literal clothes iron_
Narrator: “matches are cheap and easy to make” Me: something tells may that the equipment and machines are cheaper considering they used A FRICKING HOUSE IRON! 😂

I love how it's like, 400 years later and we got it streamlined. Cuts to machines flinging matches everywhere and a literal clothing iron.
It is somewhere in South East Asia, what do you expect?

@@xilnes7166 True. I approve this product. I also approve the blood of small childrens hands on my clothes if that means i get it cheaply.
That Iron just strapped in, 10/10 bodge
Came here to say this! That iron that starts the entire process tho...
That was so........ high tech.....
the aluminum base on that iron won't last long. And I can't imagine it does much with the paper flying through there so fast.

And yet apparently it gets the card to "5%" moisture... 🤔
0:35 i just love how its a legit hot iron
lmao yeah
I laughed way too hard when I saw that like I had to do a double take and rewind 2-3 times to make sure I was seeing that like it was a deadass hot iron 😂😂😂
I worked at an EPS plant and instead of those bagging machines we just used a hot iron to seal the plastic when bagging up shipments. It sucked.

This is easily the most chaotic episode of How It's Made I've seen.
"The machine is calibrated to fill each box with a set amount of matches and reject the extra ones"
*LOOSE MATCHES RANDOMLY FLINGING ALL OVER THE PLACE*
Lol
😂😂😂
Funny 😆
Those are the extra ones.

The boss’ wife uses that same one to press his shirts and slacks after the day is done.
@@farticlesofconflatulation lolll
Now, how do they make the machines that make the matches
Matches a replica of laundry.
And how they also make the machines that made the machines that made the matches?
@@resilientgaming4443 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve wondered the same thing for years honestly. Glad I’m not the only one
Yeah how do they?
1:13 I know the feeling left out by that box on the bottom left
😔✊✊
😔☝️
Lolll
Almost every step there were matches flying everywhere. Makes me think one of them could light from enough friction or getting stuck in the wrong area
Safety matches require a chemical reaction from the lightning strip on the side of the box. So it is impossible for it to light from just friction. Which is why it is a safety match...
@@Zekurity no it’s not impossible, try breaking off the match head composition, put it on a hard surface and hit it with a hammer and it will explode, the match heads contain potassium chlorate and potassium chlorate with pretty much any dry fuel is extremely friction sensitive
@@KClO3 Some people just want to see matches burn master Wayne.
@@Zekurity It’s a famous bar trick to light matches on a window.
@@Zekurity Is that because the red phosphorus is on the striker as opposed to the match head?
0:38 when you can't build an ironing machine
*SO YOU USED AN ACTUAL IRON*
Modern Ploblems require Modern Solutions 🤣😂
This is the story of the hot iron that wanted to be a factory machine.
0:37 hot iron is literally an iron
I'm always in awe of the machines that are used but when I saw 0:39 it put a big smile on my face.😎😅
I owe a clothing iron, which means this is the closest I've been to being able to mass produce anything from this show.
Imagine that a match sparks by accident during packaging...

02:45 - AW - I was actually looking forward to how they made the wood splints. A shame they skipped that part. :-D
Maybe they manually carved it.

Isnt information fun?
ignorance is bliss my brethren, it is blissful
wow way to ruin a perfectly fun comment section
Imagine how many “This is a no smoking area” signs there must be in that factory
given that it is indeed a match factory, I can only imagine that anyone found within a hundred yards with anything even remotely capable of starting a fire on their person is beaten near death by the factory workers
A new How's It Made? I never thought I'd see the day!
My evil mind wants to light them and watch an memorising explosion while they are on the conveyer belt
Hey, VSauce, Michael here. How fast can you run?
I like how so many people look so closely as to identify the iron😂 00:35
00:40
I dry my drawers in winters that way 😅
Imagine how satisfying it would be to light a fire in there
Imagine being fired then arrested for arsonist/terrorism!

Hats off for all mechanics who are created the these miracles.
I know! Where would I be if I couldn't iron my shirts.
Now my brain is calibrated and recalibrated. Anyway, these are the kind of episodes that I like on TH-cam the most.
The wooden matches made in Thailand.😍😍😍
0:39 some serious technologies
if a fire starts in that factory you're straight up out of luck
All those excess matches being shoved against boxes and their strikers, it's only a matter of time before they light up and manage to start a fire.
Thanks for showing what’s in the striking strip on the box...
Skynet sees an actually iron on a production line.
Skynet takes note.
Skynet becomes self aware.
Factories - How Its Made. I’ve always thought what makes the thing that makes the thing, and what makes the thing that makes that.
This is a fascinating process.
It's very interesting to watch How it's Made.
This is my favorite episode of How It's Made
Love the iron!!
3:56 Imagine someone starting a fire in there
"we didn't start the fire!"

Wow, matches are partly made of gelletain! Maybe this is why gelletain saved match in BFDI a 4... (1:59)
this is the most chaotic how its made video I have watched to date
At 4:12 please take note this is the *FILLING* machine not the rinsing machine.
Imagine how hard it would be to get that building insured
cant fucking wait for huggbees to do the "how its actually made" of this lmfaooooooooooo
Using such an old iron in this product line is funny)))
Jahahaha
This is so satisfying to watch
That red powder isn’t “colouring” it’s red phosphorus which is combustible
Lisa what did you see???
Well fuck me david you got me there
Help. I'm stuck in how it's made loop.
I hope Huggbees will make a video of this one eventually
came here to post the same. this is prime material for the guy if ive ever seen it
It was super crazy how did you take the video inside
0:35 that's a shady factory man.
Other companies: "We got Discovery coming to film today so let's clean up get everything ready."

I sometimes see my wife taking the creases out of my shirts with one of those match factory devices
youtube recommendation during lockdown: how to matches are made.. who else ended up here like me?
Oh that explains the fire part
I'm guessing these employees can't have smoke breaks.
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
brilliant thanks 4 sharing this struck a cord with me xx
Who ever built these machines to function how they do. You are smart af

Just for help us
How does the machine manage to put the sticks into the holding sockets before they can be dipped. I do not understand this part.
Me: **putting red velvet cake mix to cook in the oven**
Workers in the match factory: o_0
Really good series to watch while weed
Once I saw that iron, I realized how match boxes are basically given away everywhere.
Matches come in a VARIETY of sizes. Large or small 😂
The iron just standing there like a last minute fix had me loling so hard
So did this answer any burning questions
Won't The "Diamond" Company Be So Proud?
Amazing
Dead 💀 they just have an everyday house iron strapped onto this mass production industrial machine
I just cracked seeing that iron
So gelatin as binder and potassium chlorate + water and Silica granules as combustion controller + water
Legendary iron 👍🏽
A literal hot iron 🤣🤣
