Here's the link to part of the episode on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV4iQy4mpJk
The first few minutes shows the last part of the segment on transformers - interesting in itself but the showshoes are much more interesting!
: Last night an episode of "How Its Made" (shown on Discovery channel
: here in the southeast US) had a segment on snow shoes. The woodworking
: part looks easy, like making a kayak coaming - steam bent around a form
: and forced into shape while drying. The webbing looked to be more
: difficult, the person they showed webbing a snow shoe with wet rawhide
: worked so fast it was difficult to see what they were doing, exactly.
: Maybe the segment from "How Its Made" can be found online
: somewhere?
