This is great footage. This could also prove that HASAW Act 1974 (UK) was 100 years late!!

Agreed... an amazing, amazing video. This video is the very MEANING of "honest, hard work". I saw one of the forging of an anchor, which I haven't found online. That one was also amazing, and even had more strikers than this one. They must've been almost 10, if I remember correctly.

This video is the definition of "honest, hard work"... I totally agree with faaddd. I had the opportunity of seeing a similar video, with the forgewelding of a HUGE anchor. That was simply breathtaking, with around 10 strikers all working at the same time. That's true teamwork.

Man... The coordination something like forge welding a huge piece like that would take! Simply amazing, and wholly impressive.

I'm suprised there wasn't more spray of the flux. Quite the impressive task. I've never seen a video of someone standing on the piece they're forge-welding as they're forge-welding it. Very very impressive.

No kidding...I saw this and said..."Oh My God...what are they forging"...originally I thought the whole thing was one big awkward hearth. I AM truly humbled...I wish I was around in those days. My craft was far more important and awesome then. Wow...Great Upload.

yeah, times were harder then, if you didn't work, you didn't eat, therfore, most everyone worked, and they worked hard too! I too wish I was around in those times

I take great pride in working hard and taking pride and care in my work. At the end of the day I don't have to ask what I accomplished, or what this life is for, I already know
