    Default Schmetz "The Making of a Needle" Video
    Interesting Schmetz Making of a Needle Video with quite a bit of older machinery in use. Video mentions 1/2 of worldwide needle production made in Aachen, Germany region, now all production has moved to India. Quite a bit of thought and work involved in making these things.

    I'm sort of wondering when this video was made. Looks like late 80's early 90's style and technology to me (?)

    Loved it, Thanks! I didn't realize it took so many steps to make those needles!
