There are several things posted. Some are interesting if not terribly practical.

I don't know what he said, but that was pretty damn cool. I'll have to try that once I figure out how he made it exactly.

I used to do PVC fabric stripping in the textile industry years ago .
The machinery was more complex that that though [although similar using blades and a roller].

I never thought about stripping PET from bottles , that was quite clever.

My family immigrated from the Ukraine over a number of decades. The older uncles who grew up in the Soviet era were remarkably good at fixing things with spare stuff lying around, since they were used to doing without. It looks like that skill still remains over in that region.
