Smoked Jelly

The Toaster Project is a really interesting project and commentary…

I’ve always been interested in reading stories/articles etc. tracing how and where our things are made, especially given that our possessions are so far removed from us in terms of their production process.

As somebody who highly values the tactile experience of handling and working on actual material objects, watching things being pressed out of moulds in distant anonymous factories off the telly is just kind of an alien(nating) experience.

This guy is taking the idea of D.I.Y. much further by engaging himself in each phase of the production of a toaster on an independent level at a scale of 1. How far down the production chain will you go? Smelt any ore today?
