Skateboard Wheels, Baklava and Galaktoboureko, CO₂ Scrubbers, Honeycomb Candles

13th February 2017 21 mins Season 29 Episode 1

Liquid polyurethane is coloured, poured into moulds and cured before the finished skateboard wheels are machined and fitted with bearings. Layers of pastry, nuts and syrup become baklava, while custard and filo are combined for galaktoboureko; absorbent materials and air-handling components are assembled into systems that remove carbon dioxide; and embossed beeswax sheets are rolled around wicks to create honeycomb candles.

Fine wool fibres are arranged over fabric and agitated until they bind together as lightweight nuno felt. Heavy steel frames and hydraulic mechanisms are assembled into machines that crush empty industrial drums; salted vegetables are seasoned and fermented into kimchi; and precisely cut pieces of hardwood are arranged into the geometric patterns of traditional parquet flooring.
