    Default How a bowling ball is made video

    I cameacross this video on how Ebonite makes bowling balls, or atleast a few years ago. It is a great inside look and a general understaing on how a bowling ball is made,

    Modern Marvels, ya say? hmmmm... Going to have to set the tivo. I LOVE those types of shows. I think I've seen every episode of, "How it's Made." Greatness.....
    Not helping the situation since 1983.

    Yeah, it was a Modern Marvels segment from last year or the year before. Pretty cool, the whole show was how they make different balls. As for How It's Made, that's not bad, but everything they do is Canadian, so if they don't make it there you won't see it. A lot of times it seems like they could move up to more "modern" methods, shall we say. I suppose they keep more Canucks employed that way, though.

    I like the show, but I never see things I want to know how it's made. It is always things that are interesting, yet nothing I am dying to find out about..

    I saw that. Pretty interesting. Found out some things thatI never new, like the ball wobbles down the lane.

    That is a very informative and interesting video. I always love that show. They have a couple other shows like that on the science channel and dsicovery. When I get the chance I always watch them. They had a really good one awhile back on how they make the super tankers. It is amazing we can make things like that with our hands.
