Videos from a mill working some large stock. The ones down at the bottom of the page are very cool.

Somehow I don't think the steel-toed boots would help all that much around there.

Cool vids fitzo :thumbup: I wonder if that is the same place that forged the HUGE damascus billet. I remember seeing a vid not to long ago that showed a monstrous piece of damascus being forged. So big in fact, they were moving it around with a big lift truck. That place is "set-up"

I hear that! Wish I had seen vids like those in high school.

What a bunch of wussy equipment they have! Can you believe they have the nerve to refer to that stuff as hammers and presses?




WOW! Very cool my friend!!! Thanks for the link. I would LOVE to take a tour of that place and actually get to watch the heating and forging.

That's some VERY precise driving on the lift-truck operator's part to move those billets in and around so smoothly. I would like to know the weight of the ram on that A frame hammer.

And here I thought I was cool because I have a thousand pounds of W2 and about 400 lb. of 1084 laying around. Their yard of various "as smelted" billets was unreal.

Thanks again Fitz, that was TRES COOL!

........... I would LOVE to take a tour of that place and actually get to watch the heating and forging.

The main headquarters is about 25 miles from here.

Last night Nanc and I were joking about what it would take to get inside there to watch. We had two ideas:

First was to say there were like "47" of us interested in buying the cheapest part they made on the large machines, but we'd have to observe it's manufacture.

Second, we thought that maybe we could rent a bus, get a bunch of you to dress in Catholic schoolboy shorts outfit and we could try and get in on a
"field trip". Some of you would look really cute dressed up like Angus Young.

EEEEEEEEWWWWWW! :barf:


Just dress in tartan-pattern suits and send a bag-piper out in front of your group, and I'm sure the doors will fly open. :thumbup:
