Someday this'll be done with powdered metal and
it'll be sintered
afterwords.
Won't be as strong as forged or maybe even cast
(unless they can work
in a compressing step), but it'll be a lot
stronger.

Am I the only guy that noticed he was turning the
wrench the wrong way
(there, that'll stir things up)?

No, you're not the only one. ;) At the end they
say if you're in space
and lose a tool you can make another one, but how,
if you lost the
pattern? heh heh ...
