The people who make NYC Parks basketball hoops by hand
Wow! This is really neat! I had no idea that those brown/orange basketball hoops that are in many NYC Parks are made by hand right here in NYC! John Fitzgerald and a small team of workers forges every hoop by hand and installs them or replaces them if they are broken.
The New York Times did a piece on John and his team back in 2010 which you should read along with watching the video above.

Well, this is going to look all sorts of weird.
