SGropp Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Check out this site: Industriefotografie, Industrial Photography This is an amazing collection of photos of steel mills, and BIG forge shops at work. My favorite photo shows a huge 10,000 ton press swaging a chunk of hot steel about 3' in diameter. Notice the large cracks in both the top and bottom tools . Quote

patrick Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 The "Banning" machine shown is a hydraulic press. For the type of work big forge shops do, the pieces shown in the pictures are fairly small and it is common for men working in such shops to wear T-shirts and cotton gloves when working on these relatively small forgings. From my own limited experience with forgings of this size, I have found that you learn how much heat your body can really take without getting hurt. Patrick Quote
ironantlerforge Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Beautiful! Thanks for the link! You can also check out Flicker.com and put Blacksmith or something along those lines in the search box for a lot of good photos. Quote
forgemaster Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Not a press definitly a hammer, sides we often work in singlets, so not that out of left field. Phil Quote
