  • Two videos here. The first is steelmaking at Weirton Steel in 1987. The second is a WWII film about making 8" Howitzer shells at Weirton. It starts at about 15:00.

    I worked in the tin mill for 8 months. Coolest job I ever had.

    I'm sorry, but those guys working in the melt shop over those ingots were insane. I respect that. Giant ladle of steel and they're tapping it like right next to them. Insane. Amazing.

    Excellent 1987 video. That was exactly how the product flow worked, from the blast furnace pig iron right through the final finished coils.

    I grew up in Weirton and vowed never to work in the mill. I never did but I certainly didn't want to see it disintegrate. Our factories are all but closed. In the meantime steel prices are soaring because China is paying top price and making deals on other goods buying most of the world's steel production. Steel workers, executives and government let that happen.
