"How It's Made," "How do they do it?," "Factory Made," and "Factory Floor" are programs that show the manufacturing process of all sorts of products. I would like to be able to purchase some of these products before they go through the entire process.

I just have a need to own a spoon blank and a half- finished aluminum bat. As I would be using the bat for a pencil holder, (It's short and squat before they jam it with a ram and make it into a bat) I could put the spoon blank in the bat on my desk.

That's good enough for my bun. [+]

I envision this being a section of a Discovery gift shop at the end of a tour of Discovery headquarters or something. I get a vary gift-shoppey tourist-attractiony type vibe off this anyway.

A big bun for slightly increasing the probability of me acquiring a spoon blank.

You could always buy a Sebring. They're about half-designed.

Or, dare one say it, the Halfbakery?
