having worked in a steel mill in Kansas City back in the 90-early 2000's, it amazes and saddens me to see those guys working around hot steel with no safety equipment on. No aluminized coats, no steel toed shoes, no hearing protection, not even any safety glasses. That's why steel manufacturing left the US. dirt cheap wages and no OSHA. It's really a shame. I miss that job.

Large scale forging has always amazed me. Seeing a crane with hooks three times as tall as a man pull out a gear the weight of a bus, in excess of 1250 Celsius effortlessly.

I've never worked it this field but it just seems odd to me, that people are still required to move the glowing metal by hand. Facinating none the less.

First one seems unnecessarily dangerous, no barrier around the heaters. Imagine the guy giving directions gets distracted and trips and stumbles into the pit. They could have easily put a little barrier in between but they just left it exposed lol

i wish videos like this showed a full process from beginning to end, so you could see what something started as, and what actual end product it became, instead of just disjoint tiny bits of different things

This channel is a legend thumbnail had me saying that can not be real and you started the video with proving me wrong! well done! Not all hero's wear capes!!

dude, there is this one part that looks fucking dangerous to me. i come from an aluminium casting facility. and we have a huge industrial safety standard. when i see this part around 1:45 - 2:10 . this guy is probably there for few decades, and he knows what he is doing. no disregard to that. the thing is that he is standing inside this loop that the wire is directed towards. on the other side of the machine it gets pulled back it.
i dont even think that pull is really a pull or strong at all, by the looks. there are probably conveyor type rolls. my point is if on the side where the wire/rode comes out and is guided around the loop, if the thing is stuck there, the rod is pulled on the end, the guy might be hit by the rod in the middle of his body. maybe causing actual harm.
