I like the part when she says "shaft"

This VO is the best one that How It's Made ever had. I like the voice of this woman, and how she does the VOs.

This is just FABULOUS...what a THRILL to finally see how what I have played so much of my life...how it is made!!! Thanks so very much for the "UP"...may God bless you for it !!!

Great video, love watching these type of clips :)

This program is so awesome when you're high.

My darts are 23g Red Dragon with "Nixy" engraved at the top of the barrel, long black stems and Martin Adams "Wolfie" flights from the man himself. Had them for a year and a half, love them to bits.

Absolutely fascinating i've never actually seen how darts are actually made great clip

the puns! oh the tungstony

We have been spoiled as a society by HD. I remember the 80s and 90s. This is how ALL tv shows looked

I just wanna know how they design and build these amazing machines!

The length of the video is 5:01..... AWESOME!

i wish there was a video about making a DART BOARD

Cool. Nice to know. Amazing bit of stuff

Great video

this show makes the best puns

This is the greatest video i have ever seen

God...the puns...they're giving me a mind freezie.

Now I want a dart and a dartboard

Really interesting video I liked it

sick drum beat.

This commentsection is just awesome :D One Generation earlier enjoying this video ^^

outstanding video

Good video!

Mind blown 🤯

The machine clamps very tightly onto the rod using a collet. The oil makes things slippery, but not slippery enough to stop the collet gripping. The oil is cooling the tool and part as well as lubricating the tool. If it was not there the tools would blunt quickly, overheat, and leave a rougher finish. Also it's not straight oil but a soluble oil mixed with water usually.

4:16 I'm gonna start collecting those :D

If it takes a minute to make a dart, why is the video five minutes long? hug

Cool, how do they make the tips called Hammerheads no bounce darts?

Gotta love the industrial tech.

if i wassent liveing here and had sutch waight on my sholders, you would find me somewere out in the bush flinging darts and a cold one in the hand :)

SO MUCH LUBE !!!!

thats fascinating

"That's what she said" Moments.. :P

holy shit, that machine at 1:00 looks like alienstuff right there

Wow, there's a lot more manual labor than I thought. I figured a robot would just take bar stock in and spit packaged darts out. I wish they wouldn't skip over the hard parts, like how they cut screw threads.

awesomee

An infinite amount of entertainment

were can i get custom made flights from

An infinite amount of entertainment? REALLY.

I like how they cut these things

the wings?

Wow! A lathe huh? I figured they just used an old chisel and hammer to sort of carve the darts out of discarded metal they found in the garbage. It's not like they need to be precise and exact right? By the way they're called flights not wings. There's another reason why serious players choose Tungsten darts, they wear far less than brass. That's important when it comes to the knurled grooves of the barrel getting a good grip on the fingers.

It all drips down to the bottom of the machine, collects in a sump, gets filtered and pumped back up through the sprayers again.

i wonder if she made up all those great puns by her self

Remember a good set of Darts will give you unlimited entertainment. Oh .... No Arms.

@OMBIC Liked your comment. BTW, you would not know of any website willing to sell darts and darts accessories, and prepared to ship overseas? My local shop is getting too expensive...! Many thanks & best regards. John

Thanks for the video! I used this to create a power point about how darts are made for my engineering class.

Infinite amount of entertainment, yea!

If you are still active are you available to answer a few questions I have about this video?

That's for the steel tip. How about the soft 1??

"Now it's time to screw the shaft" WHAT DID SHE SAY!?!

The threads are cut by the machine using taps and dies. How it's made is for people who don't understand or know about stuff. A dart can be handmade as good as a machine to exact sizes but a copy lathe is used. And no it's not a computerised lathe

Less than a minute for $$$$$$$$$

What metal is used on an official dart board? :)

wings lol

The Romans had darts ,throwing arrows ,they look exactly the same , but bigger

Captain Teemo on duty.

@55dpc sisal fibers, and darts whey all from 12grams to 40 grams

that was oil, not water. it is used for keeping the machines cool.

i watched my brothers hand get stapled to the board in a game of darts, i pissed my self laughing for about 10 minutes.

@broddish2 Sorry I do apologize. The fiber is interesting but I meant the metal used as # markers on the board. Steel, aluminum, 17-5 ph material, brass, copper, etc. But thank you !

Doesn't the oil makes the machine hard to onto the metal rod and slipping off?

so thats how darts are made

King Midas got some apparently

Wow. Cool to see how things are made. I prefer plastic shafts though.

I SHARPEN TOOTH-PICKS AND ATTACH A FEATHER ON THE OTHER END - I HAVE THROWN MANY MULTI-STAGE ROBINHOODS AT 100 (OR MORE) YARDS WITH THIS ARRANGMENT!

@douro20 Can't say I'm horribly surprised. He's one of my favorite narrators for the show, at least in North America. That is a lot of cash for a few hours of work though.

Thumbs up if you've ever impaled yourself with a dart showing off. 'Check me out guys, Under the leg and I'll get a bullseye!' 10 seconds later 'Where is the dart?' friend points at your leg. 'Mom.....'

@BladeOfForsaken To lubricate the cutting tools. Metal gets danged hot.

yeah she does say that!!!

' wow very pretty make it

brass or tungstien to create the barrel

She sure liked saying the word shaft...and I didn't mind it

Does anyone know the name of each machine? it's for my project about manufacture process Thank You

What machines are used to make a dart?????

it looks like the machine is giving birth >P

@magson87 But, she does call them Flights. She only calls them Wings at first, so that the un-educated can make the connection afterward. Admittedly, however, she does call them that late in the video...

I don't have to love annything. Damn it !!!

Darts that expensive probably have their price driven up by several factors: -expensive materials -the cost of the actual machines making them (THEY ARE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE) higher quality machines and processes require more money -special or custom designs need to be designed on a computer by a professional and then inputted into the machine to change the turning pattern -the costs of replacing the cutting tools when worn down -the cost of the cooling oil (disposal is expensive)

@DragonXero And Zac Fine is one of the world's highest priced narrators. For some TV programs he could command nearly two million per episode.

i came for the puns

@littlestworkshop because its a capstan?

i feel like ive been ripped of..... DAMN YOU DART INDUSTRI

Wow

I wonder what machines make those machines

Prices are getting out of hand for some darts

Agreed, im the same way

Goddamn machines are efficient...

And a magnet gets out aluminum how?

The knurling took place just before the groove cutting,a double wheeled friction thing,wrong info bout groove cutting called knurling,knurling ss an x shaped push indentation.

They still make brass darts? And people still use them???

the time it takes to make it is only part of the overall cost.

Is there really a large enough market to make so many hundreds of thousands of flights that we see being produced in this short clip????

@ManginaHole - It's not wasted, but filtered and reused...

I'd hate to think how my Harrows Oracle darts were made.

I wonder how much a custom made one cost.... badly want a Harrows but in my own design

@OMBIC thats how the world works bro

@curtmang Haha, well spotted.

I will never complain about my job again.

Is elkadart is the best darts company?
