Episode overview

Wool, foam, lining, plastic stiffeners and decorative fittings are carefully sewn together to produce uniform peaked caps. Copper or stainless-steel tanks are formed around internal heating coils and pressure-tested, fibreglass hulls receive batteries and electric propulsion systems, and flexible steel bars are forged, heat-treated, wired and fitted with pressure-sensitive tips to become fencing foils.
