This is my new favorite site! “How Products Are Made explains and details the manufacturing process of a wide variety of products, from daily household items to complicated electronic equipment and heavy machinery. The site provides step by step descriptions of the assembly and the manufacturing process (complemented with illustrations and diagrams) Each product also has related information such as the background, how the item works, who invented the product, raw materials that were used, product applications, by-products that are generated, possible future developments, quality control procedures, etc.” [via] Link.

Wow . . . somewhere in my files I actually have a really shabby copy of this! I was around 9 when I bought it. That sleek space liner on the cover drove me utterly bonkers. How had they made it?
Some of the old Centuri models have been re-released by “Semroc,” a mom and pop outfit that uses computer-controlled tools to create nose cones and fins and such. They carry most of the parts mentioned in this design guide.
Here’s me with a recreation of one of the old Centuri “Mini-Max” kits.
Memories. My friends and I were making rockets when Centuri and Estes were the two main companies (at least that I knew about). We even broke into Centuri guys and Estes guys, the way people aligned with GM vs. Ford. I was heartbroken when Centuri went under.
