How It's Made is a fantastic educational show. But what would be even better is if there was a military special. I would love to see how things like the Challenger 2 Tank, the SA80A2 assault rifle, hand granades, and military aircraft are produced.

I would like to see a show that combines "Survivor Man" and "How its Made" to show how a person can administer simple first aid. CPR. Temporary braces for broken limbs. Treating shock. Show how fire extinguishers are made. How to make a quick safety net to help people on the 2nd floor of a burning house and such. If this show already exists then my bad, but please re-air it. Thank you.

I watched many episode of this show. I noticed that some of the requests here are already shown. For example, paper, tooth pick, cheese were in the show before, you just have to catch a rerun of the right episodes.

For stuffed animal, the best is to visit a "Build a Bear" store in your neighborhood mall. The kids can create their own stuffed animals with the help of the store assistants. It costs about US$20 to build a bear (or other animal) then you may want to spend more on wardrobes and accessories. visit http://www.buildabear.com/ to find a store near you.

In regards to the earlier message about paintball guns

What about paintballs, I would love to see how those are made

Plasma Screen TV's, any TV for that matter

Board Games (Monopoly,Clue, etc...)

Anyhing complicated and with a cool looking manufacturing process would rock

I would like to see a show about how mannequins and dress forms are made. Not only the molding, but also how they pick the different sizes and perhaps options for stores to pick from.

Could someone tell me why there has been nothing done on the water engine. Yes it is a real thing. We can now get hydrogen gas out of water on demand without any wait. Most importantly there is NO Polution. Is this yet another example of the best technology being forced out by the one that brings in the highest dollar?

P.S. Oil Sucks!

Roscolux filters are plastic colored light filter sheets used in theatrical and concert events to provide special effects and ambiance. To see how roscolux filters are made would be quite intriguing!!!!
