It’s been some time since we last had a story about Faber-Castell factories. A few years ago, the company gave viewers a tour of their pencil factory. And just last year, they gave us a closer look at their highlighter making process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQE2q-1bNZE&ab_channel=Faber-Castell It all takes place at their Engelhartszell plant in Austria. According to Faber-Castell, over 35 million writing materials are produced in this plant every year. This translates to 250 tons of ink fueling them. A total of four key chapters make up their production process: injection molding, ink mixing, assembly, and packaging.

At some point in our childhood, I’m sure all of us have dragged our toy cars across the wall. It makes perfect sense as a kid: why get on our knees and push cars across the floor when a wall works just as well? Debashis Das of DD ElectroTech was reminded of this childhood pastime when his nephew did the exact same thing with his toy car.

Rollercoasters are fun. LEGOs are also fun. Therefore, by the unspoken rule of cool, putting the two together only makes the end result much cooler. A few months ago, Chris Burton of Half-Asleep Chris took 10 LEGO roller coaster sets with the sole purpose of making a single, giant roller coaster. After opening 423 plastic bags and sorting the 37,116 LEGOs found inside, he got to the task of turning his living room into a LEGO amusement park ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fGPE7M6MU&ab_channel=Half-AsleepChris The initial goals were to make the roller coaster as high as possible, have at least one loop, and make it using only LEGOs.
