How an Hourglass Is Made

By Jake • April 21st, 2011 • 2 Comments

I’m a sucker for how stuff is made, so this is right up my alley. The precision required to make accurate 10 and 60-minute timers is pretty astounding. These are obviously high-end works of art, and I wonder how the cheapo ones you get in board games are made. Bet that’s an equally interesting process.

Anyway, enjoy.

    Thanks for sharing this. I too enjoy how things are created, to the dismay of my wife.
