Good morning. Im jane pauley and this is a special edition of sunday morning. A sunday morning by design. Its our annual look at the people, places and things that enriches our lives every day. To that end, you might notice Something Different about our look this morning. More on that in a few minutes. For now, just enjoy the view. Its a reminder how design in ways large and small is everywhere. And well start large. Very large. If you had unlimited funds to design the perfect city from the ground up, what might it look like . Sound farfetched . Luke burbank tells us thats exactly what some tech billionaires in california are trying to figure out. But how theyre going about it is raising some eyebrows. Reporter if you build it, they will come. At least thats what the backers of a new plan to turn this farmland into a new city believe. What if not Everyone Wants it built . I had a hunch this was a good place to do this. Reporter coming up on sunday morning, big tech, big dream of a big city. She was one of americas favorite roommates in the hit tv series friends. These days, Jonathan Vigliotti explains, courtney cox has designs on your living quarters. Reporter when courtney coxs star on the hollywood walk of fame needed cleaning, guess who stepped in . I played that character monday that. Oh, that character . Look at her, so happy. So she was a neat person. Guess who else is . Me. Reporter courtney cox, a neat freak with a fresh outlook on life ahead on sunday morning. Whichever way the wind is blowing, design always matters. Just ask Martha Teichner. Reporter what does the jaws shark have to do with the story about weathervanes . Well, just wait. Your whole career has been shaped by that shark . Yes, it really has. Reporter the shark started it, but have a look at what he started. It crafts its own story. Reporter coming up this sunday morning. In bathrooms across america, there is a new musthave accessory. With kelefa sanneh, we go behind closed doors. This aint high. I have never been saluted by a toilet before. Reporter since the great toilet paper panic of 2021, more and more americans are deciding that the bidet is right up there their alley. Instead of the water going down, it goes up. Reporter its coming up. Lets give it a shot. Later on sunday morning sinister. There goes reporter a not so dry run. Of course, we all need a break once in a while, so throughout the morning Susan Spencer will be looking at the serious design that goes into fun and games. Youve heard the saying a mans home is his castle . Sometimes seth doane discovers, it really is. Serena altschul surveys the front lines of stroller wars, a competition thats anything but childs play. Nancy giles shows us why tiedye, the freak flag of the 60s, is still flying high. Lee cowan test drives that may be the hottest car in america. Plus, Conor Knighton on the latest addition to the american toolbox. Well have a tea party with Martha Stewart and more all on our sunday morning by design. Well be right back. Much has been made over the years about living the california dream. The question is, can money, a lot of money, build that dream from the ground up . Luke burbank found place where some tech giants are trying to do just that. Reporter for over five years, starting back in 2018, something mysterious was going on. Its a nearly billion dollars land purchase. Reporter just 90 minutes northeast of San Francisco no one, not even the federal government, can figure out who is behind it. Reporter a Secretive Group was purchasing farmland. Some 60,000 acres in rural Solano County, california. Many feared it might be a chinese governmnt plot to try to set up shop near Travis Air Force base. Like a lot of people, i was chasing it around, running into the usual locked doors. Reporter but as the New York Times Conor Dougherty, who helped break the story found out solano is an unusual county. Reporter the truth was trainer than the rumors. I got a tip from someone that what was behind the locked doors was the richest people in the world quietly buying all this farmland. R reid hoffman, steve jobs widow, Marc Andreessen of Andreesen Horowitz Venture Capital firm, a whos who of Silicon Valley was involved. Reporter Something Else surprising. Within hours of doughertys big scoop, this Mysterious Company launched a website and publicly identified itself as California Forever, an ambitious plan to build a brandnew kind of city for as many as 400,000 residents. We knew this would be controversial when we announced the project. Reporter this is the guy behind. Rec i had a hunch. Reporter jan sramek, a 37yearold czechborn former Goldman Sachs trader turned aspiring city builder. You can see Travis Air Force base. Reporter who has to try to convince the public that the project isnt just an oasis for billionaires or some hightech city of the future. Overnight would be a downtown. Reporter his vision is to turn all of this into a walkable city in the mold of savannah, georgia, or philadelphia, pa, or new yorks west village. If you are successful, how will it be a place that middle class people could afford . By continuing to build for a long time. We look why places are unaffordable, they stopped building. Instead of taking these well paying jobs being created in Northern California and sending them to texas or florida, lets create a place where we can send them to Solano County. Place where our childrens future can be bright. Walkable middle class neighborhoods with homes we can afford. Reporter the projects fate will ultimately be decided this november by the voters of Solano County who have to decide whether or not to overturn a threedecadesold law restricting where new development can go. We are going to have total gridlock. You need to work on your soft skills. Dont insult us. Reporter jan srameks Charm Offensive has been met with, lets just say, a healthy amount skepticism by many locals. You are not going to answer that question because telling the truth is not in your nature. The proposal is to build a city about two miles up this road. Reporter locals like al medvitz and Jeannie Mccormack are. So last holdouts here. Most of their neighbors have sold to California Forever at far over market value. But theyve turned down millions to keep farming this 37hundred acre ranch which has been in jeannies family more than a century. Having Developers Come was always a fear my whole childhood because california was just changing so fast with development in farm areas. Reporter many of their neighbors who didnt sell have been sued by California Forever who accused them of colluding to raise land prices in the area. The a charge they deny. The housing is important. No question about it. But there are appropriate ways to do it. We are reaching at the voters because east solano submitted as an reporter California Forever is sparing no expense to try to win over county residents. Welcome, everyone. Thanks for joining us tonight. Reporter in what the New York Times Conor Dougherty says could be the most expensive Political Campaign in the history of Solano County. The idea that this tech money is being redirected to this very brick and mortar thing as an investment is kind of weird to me. Is it just that there is that much money to be made potentially . Everyone thinks i am crazy when i say this, i dont think its principally about money. I think many of the people involved are extremely frustrated that the pace of change in the physical world has lagged so far behind the pace of change in the digital world. If we could redesign everything and not have to deal with all the inherited problems that cities come with, that that would make everything so much easier. Reporter California Forever still has plenty of hurdles to clear. Some that may prove impossible. Most of the cities in america look like this. Not that many years ago. Reporter but he insists this idea of designing and building a relatively affordable walkable city within the nations most unaffordable and carcentric state is, in fact, possible. He says his company has the knowhow, the patience and, critically, the deep pockets to make it a reality. To me success is that in ten or 15 years, Solano County is this incredible economic Success Story that people all over america are looking at and say can we replicate that here. A good design, idea, and right partnerships locally, you can build something special. Reporter do you see yourself living there with your family . H. Yeah, the first house. My wife is already designing it in her head. Plug. And i use this. Febreze has a microchip to control scent release so it smells firstday fresh for 50 days. 50 days . And its refill reminder light means ill never miss a day of freshness. Wow. Incredible, isnt it . Yeah. Means ill never miss a day of freshness. Well, with your home, auto, boat and rv all bundled with progressive youve got the peace of mind to really wander. Yeah. Yeah, i just hope it stays this way. Once word gets out about these places they tend to are you done . Aaand there it is. Well, at least your vehicles are protected. Lets hit the road. Hey fam im just at this Beautiful Lake that i just discovered. Practicing gratitude, manifesting abundance. Its magic, and then some. Good morning. Here begins something new. For 45 years, sunday mornings set created by legendary cbs designer Victor Paganuzzi has served as our backdrop. But for this years design issue we opted for an update. And who better to reimagine our surroundings in virtual form than the eminent design firm rockwell group. There were things about the cbs sunday morning piece that w an immediate yes for me. I think of it as one of the ultimate communal rituals in every project we do, its really about celebrating a sense of ritual. Reporter David Rockwell is the firms founder and president. So we started with lots of hand sketching. As we zeroed in on it, i realized there was an opportunity to do something that had the simplicity and restraint of the original, but have a kind of ex uberance and theatrical flair. Reporter rockwell knows theatrical flair. He die zbliend hollywoods dolby theatre, home of the oscars since 2002. The winner is sophia loren. Reporter his vast portfolio spans hotels, stadiums, stage sets, libraries, playgrounds, airport terminals, bars and restaurants. More than 500 restaurants since founding the firm in 1984, 40 years ago this year. Some rockwell trademarks, screens, vibrant and playful. Stairs, sweeping and stately. And light. Deep, warm, and rich. My earliest thoughts about lighting and restaurants comes from candles and thinking about restaurants in guadalajara where i lived where the candle was like a hearth. You cant always replicate that, but its not a bad place to start. Reporter its not all glitzy restaurants and luxury hotels. This Childrens Hospital emphasizes color and imagination. And this temporary viewing platform at ground zero, helped mourners grapple with the unthinkable in the months after 9 11. Really what was needed was a public viewing platform, so people could have a unmediated look at what really happened. That temporary structure was definitely one of the most powerful things i have ever been involved with. Reporter rockwells firm, which started out with fewer than a dozen people, has grown to some 330. Without posts in l. A. And madrid. I am so grateful i get to do what i do, and feel lucky every day. Reporter and today, sunday morning is the grateful beneficiary of their creativity. Enough about our home. With seth doane, time to visit a home truly fit for a king. Reporter in the forests of burgundy in central france stands a medieval castle. Its partially built, not because its in ruins, but because its still under construction. It looks and sounds like the year 1255. The challenge here is to build as they would have in that era. Long before electricity, using tools fashioned by blacksmiths. And laying stones by hand. A mixture of sand and lime and water. This is like our glue that we use to stick our stones together. Reporter this will last . This will last thousands and thousands and thousands of years, no problem. This is what the romans and kbreeks used. Reporter ben wallace was restoring Old Buildings when he visited this castle gald guedelon as a tourist and applied for a job. How to be a stone mason as a career and then to discover place exists . A dream, really. The possibility to work as they did back in medieval times. To take the time, to do things properly. Reporter they are taking time. This project started 27 years ago and is still expanding into a medieval village. Why build a castle . I dont speak about castle world. Reporter a cathedral would have been more complicated. Yes. Reporter cofounder Marlin Martin worked with the unemployed and liked the idea of creating jobs in rural france. Today the project is sustained through ticket sales to 300,000 visitors a year. I want that people stay here and let their imagination go. Reporter the castle is here because of this quarry where toendra schrauwwen and extract sandstone for the walls. Select how many stones i want cut out of it. Reporter in a mod enquarry, the huge trucks and heavy equipment. Whats used here is an iron wedge. And sledgehammer. Lovely job. Reporter lovely . Yes. Imagine that this simple block is going to represent a beautiful stone in the castle with beautiful geometrical shapes. My job in guedelon is to grow medicinal gardens. Reporter resident herbalist emma blondy nurtures plants not just for food but medicine using medieval documents as a guide. I just writing like this until i have a very fine powder. Reporter paint recipes from the middle ages have been unearthed, too. Its a mix with some of the white of the egg. Some cherry tree gum. Yes, i know. Reporter Clarence Thomas pallet for wall designs comes from whats found on castle grounds. We have some different stones, clays, charcoal, ochres. Reporter in this bold effort to build a castle from scratch, they are following a design that dates back to frances king philip ii, and 800 years later its fostering a new generation of specialist artisans. Who notre dame burned in paris, workers came from the castle to help and share expertise. Whats the bigger value to this project . Its very green. We take nature, trees, sand, stone, and we do a medieval castle, but we can imagine to take the same materials to do a house. Its a modern adventure. Reporter its a modern adventure building skills and realizing a dream by looking back to the design and ways of another time. vo at dog chow we believe helping dogs live their best life.

Whats in your wallet . Serena altschul now with a look at a design trend forever in its infancy. I know everybodys looking for perfect stroller and we will find that perfect stroller. Reporter he has been filling garages for nearly 40 years. At bambi baby, his familys store in new jersey you can take it outdoor reporter its about finding folks the smoothest ride. Its a lot like buying a car. Do people say that to you . 100 . And we have minivan strollers. We have suv strollers. We have sports car strollers. Reporter once just a means for transporting a baby, now strollers have become thousand dollar accessories. Whoa or the tap of a screen. The baby is going to get rocked automatically. Reporter english architect william kent is said to have designed the first baby carriage. His whimsical creation for the duke of devonshirein in 1733 was meant not to be pushed, but pulled by animals. William wilson remodelled the design in 1877 and founded silver cross, a favorite of british royalty. Her majesty seen in the role of mother. Amazing suspension with the original leather strap still in place. Reporter knick paxton is silver cross ceo. The baby was suspended on this oscillating piece of leather. It was a totally natural vi environment for the baby to ride. Reporter whether you call them strollers, a program or a push chair, the buggy has always been a status symbol. These would have been for families that had means, that had a desire, i think, to be seen as well with these products. They were very glamorous. Reporter glamour these days starts with premium fabrics and soft leather handles, aesthetics, it turns out, are just as important as protecting that pressures cargo says firsttime mom aniyah kozart. I want something that will look good. Thats always the part of. I want something functional and will last a few years. The hardest part is understanding that you want to add so much functionality but its got to be almost transparent to the user. It can do this, but you dont need to know about it until you need it. This is exactly what we want people to do. Reporter trung phung is a designer and president at uppababy near boston where they are not only creating products, but pushing their limits. It has to sit on this treadmill for 40 hours continuous. At the end, everything has to workers party. Reporter should youthere ar service centers. How do we know when a baby is comfortable . The parents say they put the child into the product and the child starts crying, thats a bad sign. Reporter it cant be the stroller . Hopefully, not. Reporter parents might be crying when they learn that no one stroller does it all. Two strollers is the perfect stroller. Reporter bambi baby emilio ortega. Some families put the car outside and fill the garage full of strollers. Reporter they are priorities. Of course. What if there was a cruise that felt like no other . A cruise created by foodies for foodies. One chef for every 10 guests, every meal prepared to order, and every plate a personal discovery. Welcome to the world of oceania cruises, the worlds greatest cities and off the beaten path secrets. One memorable bite and toast at a time. Its more than a feeling. Its more than a cruise its oceania cruises. Behind each one of these doors is a version of my life. That i could have lived. Are you happy . The longer you stay in there. The more you will start to crack. Dark matter. On apple tv . What does a good Investment Opportunity look like . At t. Rowe price we let curiosity light the way. Asking Smart Questions about opportunities like clean water. And what promising new treatment advances can make a new tomorrow possible. Better questions. Better outcomes. Throughout the morning, our Susan Spencer is all about fun and games. First up, word play. Reporter for millions of americans, morning means breakfast, coffee, and most importantly, wordle. I mean, my wordle is usually done in the first ten minutes of consciousness. Yeah, some people play our puzzles the minute they come out. Reporter Everdeen Mason is the editorial director of the New York Times games. This has a good amount of space. Reporter zoe bell is its executive producer. What do people think when you tell them what you do for a living . It is a Cocktail Party winner. Reporter wordle, the brainchild of Software Engineer josh wardle, was acquired by the New York Times in 2022. A year later, it was played 4. 8 billion times. Tens of millions of people are playing every day. Reporter okay. Lets see what happens. Oh reporter absolutely nothing. Thats the worst possible result. If you are late to the game, heres how it works. E each day there is a fiveletter mystery word. You get six chances to figure it out. With each guess you learn if your letters are wrong, right, or right, but in the wrong spot. Can you put your finger on what it is in the design of wordle that accounts for this astonishing success . You think about what happens with every guess in wordle, is you get new information and i think thats really compelling. Then when you solve it, there is a really, really big moment of satisfaction. Reporter tell me about it. Yeah. Reporter depends how soon you solve it. Might be a lot of other things, too. Reporter okay. So whats the foolproof strategy for doing that . Some people have the same word every single day. Reporter is that a good idea . It can be. I mean, especially if you pick one with a lot of vowels afrmt adieu is the first most popular guess. Here is depressing news. Statistically, adieu does not yield the best results. I think that the starting word is important, but so is the second word because if you have a good starting word and then you blow it by not eliminating other letters in the secondguess, you will be at five or six. Reporter this is the genius of its design. Right, yes. Reporter a genius thats made wordle a national phenomenon. One lousy t. Reporter at breakfast tables everywhere. Were in the middle of. Seizing the date in the middle of the perfect pairing. And parking it here for the night so come get away. Together. Illinois the middle of everything. Whatever the year, whatever the car, speed remains a driving force in the universe of auto design. Lee cowan takes the wheel. Reporter designing the impossible starts with the practical. And the visual can become visceral. Oh, listen to that downshift. Oh, yeah. We havent even got warmed up yet. Reporter the hennessey venom f5 hennessey. Its not a sports car, not a supercar, its a hyper car. Its a machine that shuns the mundane. Its twin turbo v8 can muster more than 1,800 horsepower. All right. Ready . 160, whoa im being cautious. Reporter John Hennesseys goal is to design the fastest production car in the world, meaning a vehicle people can actually drive on actual city streets. Its 300 miles an hour, is that your white whale . Yeah, i guess i am crazy. As crazy as captain ahab. Reporter his competition, ferrari, pegani, koenigsegg and more. Legends with racing pedigrees. But the hennessey f5 is not built in europe. It comes from the heart of texas. About an hour west of houston. I think that thats just that balsey texas grit of we believe we can do it. We are not here just to compete. We are here to win. Reporter each is built by hand. There is no assembly line. Hennesseys garage looks like an operating room. Its pretty much a hobby that got out of control. Reporter he has been tuning cars since he was a kid. Building his own pranbrand from wheels up had dead end written all over it. Many people try. Not many people succeed. Reporter the f5s lead designer Nathan Malinick was uniquely qualified. I was designing jets before coming here. Reporter the laws of physics can create some truly beautiful things. In the f5 case it starts where the car meets the air. It really acts very similar to an airplane wing, just in the other direction. Reporter reverse . Yeah, we dont want to go up. We want to stay on the ground. Reporter wind is an enemy and a friend. Everything about the f5 is designed to use air to cool its massive engine. Right down to the taillights that help pull heat away. You just built the taillights around a vent . Yeah. That is so cool. Reporter and then there is the cockpit. Not bad, right . Not bad. Great. If you look at the dash in the car in general, its very refined and simplified. There is no buttons anywhere. Reporter like a fine suit, its a truly bespoke automobile. Thousands of items could be customized for the customer. Which is probably why it carries its 3 million price tag. Nobody really needs a car like this, right . No. You can buy a people mover for 35 to 40,000. So i would argue that every dollar spent over 40,000 is based on emotion, based on passion, based on entertainment. Reporter the f5 isnt practical or affordable. Dreams rarely are. European designers have chased the speed record for years, but now there is a new horse in the race and its as scrappy as they come. Did you feel like you were the underdog when you entered into this . We were all about being the underdog. Reporter you like that . I love the underdog. Reporter thats what hyper car design is all about. Tweaking the best to make it better. Hennessey hasnt even reached its goal yet, and still its already getting customers the ride of their lives. That was great. With cascade Platinum Plus, i have upped my dish game auntie, in that dishwasher . Watch me Platinum Plus gives you the highest standard of clean, even in your machine. Clean enough for you . Yeah scrape. Load. Done. Cascade Platinum Plus. Liberty mutual customized my Car Insurance and i saved hundreds. Thats great. I know, ive bee telling everyone. Baby liberty. Oh baby liberty. How many people did you tell . Only pay for what you need. Jingle liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Baby liberty. Before my doctor and i chose breztri for my copd, i had bad days. [cough] flareups that could permanently damage my lungs. With breztri, things changed for me. Breztri gave me better breathing. Starting within 5 minutes, i noticed my lung function improved. It helped improve my symptoms, and breztri was even proven to reduce flareups, including those that could send me to the hospital. So now i look forward to more good days. Breztri wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. It is not for asthma. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking it. Dont take breztri more than prescribed. Breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. Call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. Cant afford your medication . Astrazeneca may be able to help. Ask your doctor about breztri. Whichever way the wind is blowing, design matters, as our Martha Teichner discovered. The jaw shark itself is 10,000. You get the head, the tail, and the whole damn thing. Reporter meet Anthony Holand, who you might say owes his career to a shark. Just like this one. The 50th Anniversary Version of the original that appeared in the movie jaws, which was shot here on the island of Marthas Vineyard in 1974. There it is. That spec on top of quints shack, in case you missed it. Islanders got a look and suddenly wanted sharks of their own. So, travis tuck, who had been working as a welder on the film and got paid 150 to make that first shark, found himself in business. After jurassic park, Steven Speilberg even ordered a velociraptor. Enter Anthony Holand. In 1997, as a summer apprentice, did you understand instantly that this would be your lifes calling . I didnt. I thought this is a great opportunity. Lets see where it takes me. Reporter by 2001, when he and travis tuck made a tenfootlong nittany lion, penn state universitys mascot, holand knew the answer. He took over the workshop when tuck died in 2002. Whats vane. It comes from fane, which is the angelo saxon word for flag. Reporter the early just recorded weathervane was this one from 48 bce in ancient athens. About the time they were no longer needed to predict weather, to guide ships, or as recognizable branding, weathervanes became attractive to collectors and thieves. This centuryold locomotive sat on top of the train station in white river junction, vermont, until it was stolen in 1983. It was finally returned last week after showing up at a new york city auction house. You want to take it you up to that dull red without going past. Reporter to make a weathervane, Anthony Holand heats up copper so it becomes pliable. Then he hammers it into shape by hand. The art and the craft. He has a two to threeyear waiting list for custom weathervanes, most of what he does. And theyre expensive. This started out as a 32inch weathervane and turned into an 11foot seahorse. Reporter wow it costs well into six figures, and took over a year to construct. Holand is widely considered the countrys finest weathervane maker. The bhutanese dragon was for a client whose mother was the best friends with the queen of bhutan. Reporter he made a school of fish. It actual swims in the wind as the wind blows. Reporter these elephants to match someones wellloved piece of jewelry. And just look at this. The city owner was that, he owned a satellite at the time. He was one of the first cellphone providers. We went all the way back with mercury and the brick phone. Reporter whatever a customer wants. For Anthony Holand, thats the fun of it. I would say the most successful weathervanes that i produce tell a story. I think americans, we love a good story, right . Thousands of years ago artists in india decorated clothes for special occasions using tiedye, which is to say the colorful technique existed long before woodstock. Nancy giles on tiedye then and now. Whats important here is gathering the fabric. Reporter Austin Mackereth is in a groove. It keeps me very present. Im always in the moment. Reporter his twists, scrunches, and ties transform into perfect pockets for a tiedye kaleidoscope of colors. Its controlled chaos. Reporter his intricate works can take up to 30 hours to create. So this is what it looks like super wet. When its dry its going to lighten up a lot. Reporter oh, man he releases a hand of shirts online every week. They sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars. They usually sell out within a couple of, like, seconds. Like 30 seconds. Reporter what . How does that make you feel . Im extremely grateful. Reporter in 2015, he was recovering from Substance Abuse in a halfway house. A roommate brought back a tiedye kit. Mackereth says it saved his life. What was it about tiedye that grabbed you . In the very beginning, you dont really know what, how its going to turn out. You are waiting an entire day, essentially, to open it up, and you are just so excited to see what its going to be like. Of its like this dopamine rush. I always equate it to christmas morning. Reporter oh that rush goes way, way back. This is a very long history, and longer than we can know because the thing about fabric is that it disintegrates. Reporter shabd simonalexander is an artist and the author of a book about the art of tiedye, which she says is thousands of years old. Did different cultures specifically tiedye in different distinct ways . Each culture tiedyes in a way that reflects their own materials and aesthetic preferences. Reporter alexander the great mentioned beautiful printed cottons in india in 327 b. C. And some of the earliest known pieces come from peru. As for tiedyes popularity in the united states, simonalexander says it took off in the 1950s and 60s for a few reasons. One was the invention of cold water fiber reactive dyes, which meant that people could tiedye at home much more easily. Reporter that and woodstock in 1969, which saw performers like janis joplin and joe cocker donning dyed designs. Whats the appetite for it these days . Everybodys going crazy. Reporter at tipsy tiedye in new jersey, siblings and coowners kevin and katie tague host events where you tiedye and im you bieb. We tie it in such a way, the design will be set. We just have to color it all in. Reporter golly. I mean, the possibilities are endless. And you cant do it wrong. For Austin Mackereth, who has been able to make tiedye his fulltime job, he is just enjoying the colorful ride. There is times where im dyeing a piece until like 6 00 in the morning, having about been working on it since 8 00 a. M. The previous day. I am not upset i am having do that. Its like i got to get this this done, its going to be coo cool piece, its totally going to be worth it. Five and a half years ago, Conor Armstrong made a puzzling career change. How does a Software Engineer go to making Jigsaw Puzzles for a living . I made enough money and decided to quit. Reporter he had been around puzzles for years. Worried about the time i gray father bought a scroll saw. I picked up on the technique. Reporter each piece is designed and cut by hand out of wood, mass marketed cardboard puzzles may be wildly popular, more than a billion are sold each other, but conrad isnt impress. Once you go wooden, our dont go back to cardboard. Reporter you say that with some disdain . A little bit. When you have access to a handmade unique wooden puzzle, a gridbased stamped out cardboard puzzle pales in comparison. Two straight edges luook like these pieces. They actually form the corner. So there isnt one blockie corner piece. Reporter his designs include waterscapes, autumn scenes, even wedding presents. He has a waiting list of customers willing to shell out hundreds of dollars to watch wits with him they are from the state of massachusetts. Reporter where is massachusetts . And his carefully designed tricks. Have you ever designed a puzzle that turned out to be impossible . No. If people stick through it long enough, they will eventually solve it. Reporter how long is long enough . Time and pace, yes. If you have a table thats separate from the table that you need to eat on reporter you leave there . For weeks and months if you need to. Reporter dont get too attached to the finished product. A couple times people asked what kind of glue can they use and i cringe at that. Reporter have you ever considered requiring a noglue contract or anything . No, thats a good idea. Reporter clearly, designing a good puzzle is an intense business with each resulting piece its own little work of he art. Its your time to cache in. So dont just play. Stay at Northern Californias premier casino resort. Book your getaway now. At cachecreek. Com. Lift the clouds off of. Virtual weather, only on kpix and pix . If you had to, what would you give up . Food or sex . Sex. Seriously, answer faster. Im sorry, honey. She said sex, i wasnt thinking about sex with you. Its the design issue on sunday morning and here again is jane pauley. The laughs were by design in the hit tv show friends about life in an apartment building. These days, courtney cox is taking her Living Conditions a little more seriously. She talking with our Jonathan Vigliotti. Yeah. Thats pretty. Reporter dressed in black, on the white sands of miami beach, courtney cox strikes a pose during a recent photo shoot. Gorgeous, yeah, beautiful. Reporter the camera is on her, but she is the one hyperfocused. I always say its called i suffer from acute awareness. I do notice things. I cant help it. Reporter i was afraid you would notice a few things if i was disheveled. I would notice. Youre pretty together. Yeah, yeah. Is that a builtin cuff . Reporter it is. I like it. Reporter its not attention to detail that in part inspired the neat freak to create a new line of scented Beauty Products for the home fittingly called home court.

Reporter a bathroom, she says, should be effortless and elegant. People understand by seeing my work that there is a real attention to detail. Reporter in every room . In every room. So i then their expectation is that i will be thinking about the bathroom as in detail as Everything Else in their home. Reporter increasingly, that means not just the toilet, but the bidet. Its life changing. Its something i cant live without. Reporter is it a status symbol the way a viking stove might be . I would say because the intention to design, it probably does make it Something Like having a beautiful scarf. Reporter according to a recent yougov poll, nearly half of americans either have or would like to have a bidet at home. I have never been saluted by a toilet before. The idea behind a bidet is simple. Instead of wiping, washing and drying. Bidets are common in asia, but only just catching on here, helped along by the great toilet paper panic of 2020. That seems like an extreme reaction to say there is no toilet paper at the supermarket, i am going to install a bidet in my house. You would think so. Toilet paper sold out in two and a half weeks. Everyone began to look for the alternative. The alternative became the bidet. Reporter bill strang is head of if global strategy at toto, the Global Leader in bidet sales. Its a reverse toilet. Instead of the water going down, it goes up. Is it an acquired taste. The first time, oh, thats pretty nice. Reporter heres how it works. This is an occupancy sensor. This knows if you are there or not. It will allow you to press the button to allow the wand to work. Reporter the worlds most popular bidet is totos washlet which starts at 350 and attaches to a conventional toilet. Other versions are more luxurious. You can actually turn on features here that allow you to oscillate and pulsate the water. Reporter oh, which made us wond wonder how is the water pressure . There it goes reporter my gosh. Heated seats, too. Reporter totos top of the line bidet celebrated by dj khaled is neorest. Is that expensive . No, that means rest. Reporter happens to be expensive . Thats right. Reporter what am i looking at for one of these. 20,000. Reporter 20,000 . This one doesnt just lclean yo. It cleans itself, too. Looks like a pod. It does look like a pod. Reporter architect stephanie goto sometimes builds a hole bathroom around it. I am working on a project now using traditional hand crafted tiles with a modern toilet. Reporter one of these looks like a futuristic pod. It is a bit of a futuristic pod, and it talks you to. Reporter i dont want feedback from my toilet. Just do your job. Your toilet is your friend.

I dont know about you, but i could use a spot of tea. Martha stewart to the rescue. Today i thought id show you how to make a delicious afternoon tea. Its that afternoon snack that all of us crave and not many of us really ever get in our lives. But tea parties are taking every place by storm. So, today id like to show you, first, how to make a pot of tea. Preheat your teapot. This is the correct way to make tea. Then pour out that water. Loose tea is what a Real Tea Party is all about. I will do two tablespoons. A nice kettle of hot, hot water. Oh, it smells so good. And lets steep. First thing you put in your cup is the milk. Just a little bit. And then the tea. And pour through a little tea strainer, if you have one. This catches any of the excess tea leaves. Mmm, does that look good. So, now for the tea sandwiches. And they are very beautiful. This is a more complex operation. Now, get very thinly sliced bread. Very important. This is a cream cheese thats very room temperature. So its soft. And its spreadable. We are going to overlap the cucumbers like this. Cut the crusts off. If yo you dont want crusts in tea sandwiches. Inappropriate. So beautiful. Cucumber, cream cheese, canape. Very pretty. Now, on a dark bread like this, i love this dark pumpernickel. Spread some may owe and we have some shrimp salad. How beautiful this is. You cut it this way. Into diamonds. And on the shrimp i thought i would put a little bit of trout caviar. Look how gorgeous that looks. Wouldnt you be happy with a bite of that . The last one i want to show you how to make because its so graphic and pretty is the aspa asparagus sandwich. Spread the cream cheese on thinly suppliesed beard, salted boiling water, and watch until they are this done. Let the tips hang over because they are not part of the design. Dont forget the zest with lemon. You can see how beautiful the asparagus are. Now, that is a designed sandwich. I want to taste it. Mmm, superb. This is the lilac allee. It is the Perfect Place for a tea party. This is how i suggest setting up a tea table. A beautiful cloth, beautiful china, very reminiscent of an english tea party, and thats what were striving for.

Conor knighton has a closeup look at the cuttingedge tool for any occasion. Reporter it takes a multitude of tools to make a multitool. Inside this sprawling 100,000 square foot factory in portland, oregon, raw steel is shaped and sharpen in saws and blades and pliers. All designed to fit into a pocketsized package. Everywhere i look, its like tools making other tools. Yeah and we make the tools to make the tool. Reporter ben rivera is the ceo of leatherman, a company that specializes in designing multitools. Foldable jacks of many trades and many blades. We are trying to squeeze every ounce of performance in every inch of space out of the tool to make it so compact and highperforming as possible. Reporter leatherman has been making versions of these handhe handheld Hardware Stores for 40 years. They claim one in 11 americans owns one, ranging in price from 50 to 230, some are souped up, some are stripped down, some are personalized, but all are a simple by hand and stamped with the founders name. I did not know that leatherman is a man, that its you . Lots of people are surprised that leatherman isnt a 100yearold company that was originally start in the leather working business. Reporter in 1975, Tim Leatherman was driving across europe with his wife in a 300 fee at that needed frequent repairs. I was carrying a pocket knife but there are oftentimes i needed a pair of pliers. Particularly with we stayed in a cheap hotel and the bathroom plumbing needed fixing. Reporter once the leathermans returned to the u. S. , tim decided put his engineering degree to use and see if he could somehow combine a pocket knife with pliers. With his wifes blessing, he started tinkering. She went to work to support us and i went to the garage and picked up a file and a hacksaw and started trying to build what was in my behind. Reporter after several iterations, leatherman eventually came up with something that looked like this. You have a pair of needlenosed pliers. Reporter the real challenge was getting other people to buy into his idea. I went to the Knife Company and they said, sorry, its not a knife, its a tool. I went to the tool companies. They said, sorry, its not a tool, its a gadget. Gadgets dont sell. Reporter after years of perseverance, leatherman managed to sell his first 500 units to outdoor retailer cabelas. You cant believe how happy i was. Finally after eight years, finally an order. Reporter the orders soon started to snowball. In his first full year in business, leatherman sold 30,000 of what he ultimately called his pocket survival tool. Today, the company can churn out 10,000 a day. Everything is still made in portland. They created dozens of different models and spawned a slew of imitators, including the leather buddy seen on the simpsons. Testing the limits of what people might do with a leatherman is part of the design process. This is surprising to find a seatbelt here. Its used so often, drafting people from a crash vehicle, we test it. Reporter wow. The Company Keeps a collection of tool tales, fan mail from customers who used a leatherman for emergency repairs and rescues.

Baker says it is all in the design. A lot of the elements of the board are timeless, they are iconic. Everything from the go space to free parking. Reporter design isnt just about looks.
