Today on How It’s Made: Aluminum extrusion!

This is the press that makes our aluminium profile. A few months ago we were buying it from distributors like everyone else. Now we own the die. How that works, and what it costs: 🧵

I'd love to show the whole process, but you can't walk around a real factory filming as if you were at home. I'm working on a video of how extrusion works and some photos of the die.

The problem with AI-generated content (text, slides, videos, animations): The more effort you put into making something polished, the more people assume it was made with AI. So, polished content or natural/improvised content?

I’m learning to create content using both my own skills and AI. The quality you can achieve today was unthinkable just a few months ago. But AI-generated content is so easy to spot for humans, and we’ll need something more natural. I have to keep learning 💪💪
This fork was once worth more than gold 🍴✨ Then, in 1886, two young men on opposite sides of the ocean discovered the same trick: electricity. An emperor once paid a fortune for aluminum. Today, you can build your workshop with it.

📟 The screen is alive! Today I had my aha! moment with AI + hardware. A cheap board from Amazon, USB connection and al 10minute sesion with Claude Code. Vibe coding hardware is here, everyone is going to be able to do electronics and physical devices!

ESP32 + Claude Code is the future. Long live vibe hardware.

🤯 The dream workshop is becoming a reality. We already have more machines than we can use! 🔜 Next up: finishing the aluminum cutting cell. 🤫 And yes… one of the machines is blurred. Still secret.

Its so easy to create an online openscad configurator with Claude Code. 3D model ready to print and sell. Do I have to try to make it work online and with Woocommerce?
