Tom May Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 A team of Chinese metalworkers fabricating a large industrial piece. These guys are neither crazy, nor in the street. The teamwork is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuEulear Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You are right theese smiths are really good at what they do and i dont know whay anyone would assume a drop hammer that size is in the middle of the street ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 M,I have acualy learned a lot looking at pre copyright manuals for railroad shops. The power hammer and drop hammers not withstanding the procedures for blocking out the work with fullers and butchers saves you a heck of a lot of time buy isolating difrent areas and shapes to be forged. I wouldn’t bet against those fork lift operators, I wouldn’t be surprised to see one butter toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 That's the sort of thing that goes through my mind when someone says "how big a forge should I build?" and doesn't give any details on what they plan to do with it...

SLAG Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The video shows an industrial operation. They have done this operation many times. Notice the second steel "slug" heating in their forge and various other items therein (at 0.05, and elsewhere). Note also that a goodly number of workmen were involved in the fabrication and none of them got into each others way, nor hesitated in the various operations. The two forklift trucks never corrected their operations. It reminded me of a finely choreographed ballet. They were that skilled and that practiced. The operators are not crazy and not working on the street. China and its people should never be underestimated. Just sayyin. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
