It is interesting to see videos like this that show how safety has improved in industry.

I think they were forging the first Snap-on wrench.

That is pretty cool, but. I wonder if they have heard of emphysema. Amazing that they have no respiratory protection.

Those fireballs are like the ones if you put a drop of heavy grease on the anvil then slap some hot steel over it, you don't get the sound like if you spit then hit hot steel on it but it is pretty neat.
