    How high end CF wheels are made from scratch. There are fairly good
    views of the machinery and processes involved.

    Very interesting! I watch most videos at 1.5x speed. But most of that
    one I watched at 0.5x or 0.75x

    I didn't think of doing that. I must be getting old. Thanks.

    What I did instead was download the video using Easy YouTube Video
    Downloader:
    <https://www.yourvideofile.org>
    Low quality and small size (54.8MB) MP4 360p is good enough. I
    usually only download a video if I want to stop the video and inspect
    a single frame. YouTube makes stopping the video a problem. They
    darken the screen and dumps controls and junk all over the lower 1/3
    of the screen when you hit stop (space bar). However, downloading the
    video eliminates that problem. I can easily single step through the
    video using an external viewer (VLC).
    <https://www.videolan.org/vlc/>
    For single frame step:
    View -> Advanced Controls -> Rt-Arrow in lower left

    It's interesting to see which operations are done by hand, which by
    robotics and which by fixed automation.

    I haven't found a pattern for that yet.

    This might be the wheel in the video, but I'm not sure: <https://www.xerowheel.com/EN/products.php?p=158>
