Failure is always an option on Deconstruction. In fact, it's a requirement. Host Matt Blashaw conducts some wild experiments—firing 2x4's from a lumber cannon through plywood, igniting drywall in a furnace, hurling baseballs at tempered glass, melting granite with thermite—all to find out what the materials in your home can withstand. With field trips to factories, research labs, and testing facilities, we learn how all the materials in your home are made and tested for performance. After all, what better way to understand what you're building then to break it apart?
