I had to come in and weld up a barricade around a press pit that would make solid metal truck bumpers. They sold the press and had to take the roof off to get it out. It was about 30 feet high to the floor and another 20 feet below the floor in a pit. It would hit so hard it felt like the crack of doom. When they had it they couldn't run it all the time because the shop was in a residential neighborhood, and they would call and complain that their shit was falling off the walls.
Takes me back to my blacksmithing apprenticeship at a coal mine. Took us on a visit to see the bigger machinery at their workshops and it was decided to fire up the steam hammer for us. I had a go of it that day. 16 years old and with each strike my feet were lifted from the ground. The camera shake seen here is real and terrifying when first seen. All we see now is slow squishing machines and rarely what's in this video. Thanks for sharing.
hammer forges like this are still a thing... slow pressed metal has different hardness/malleability properties than hammer forged metal. hammer forged metal is still needed for certain applications
My great grandfather operated one of these towards the end of his career when this was "new technology". Before that he was one of the guys who worked casting . Used to wear 2 pairs of long johns under his clothes all year long. Reason being the sweat would soak the inner layer and keep him cool. When he started working the drop hammer he had said it was like being on vacation every day. Makes me wonder how brutal foundries actually were back in the 1920s when he started if this was the easy job lol
I used to work at a place in that used massive dies fixed test onto 800 ton presses, my dad worked on those dyes using super stainless (extremely high carbon steel) tight wire, he'd weld the stress fractures in the steel, some of these dyes were 500 lbs or more. I remember we had to fabricate a dye table able to hold up to 40 tonnes of weight
@@jdawson016 a face shield is probably not going to do much if any chunk of that metal comes flying directly to your face at that distance. It'd only be an annoyance while working in such conditions. It'd get dirty with dust, blurring your vision and also make you sweat way more
@@PaschanTOPs nothing compared to the old days. That's also because many foreign areas have safety standards that are lacking. But yes metalworking is lots of fun!
Was always curious about this. I machine 3 metre long C-shaped aluminium hammer forgings for nacelles and never actually knew how they made them. Lovely stuff
I worked in a slaughterhouse. Was the most dangerous job I've ever worked at. OSHA can go fuck itself. OSHA is for people who need those safety rules. Me and the guys in this video are cut from a different cloth. Anything OSHA could suggest would just get in our way and be ignored.
What an awesome racket.

I love how the entire floor shakes with each strike of the hammer.
you have to watch it full-screen to get a real sense of just how much it shakes. Watch every time the hammer strikes.
@@davidschick6951
You can see the lumps of steel on the floor shaking as well. Brilliant!
No one has ever asked, "do you have a drop forge" while the forge is running.

Huh?......😁

Sounds dumb how do they even make money
@@totoroid its honestly really alot to think about huh. No way you could make money on something like that. Thats why they make them.
Around the Pittsburgh, McKeesport, Glassport, Clairton, Shire Oaks, PA area's you can feel the local forges on the other side of the river/s.
@@BryanRopar shoot, PA? Probably hearing top drives tripping pipe lol
The amount of hydraulics needed to do this is impressive. The piston is so big yet moves so fast! Truly impressive

The smell of hot metal and the heat in the building.. the job probably sucks ass but pays alot
@@brad8179 definetly not.
@@andrewdoesyt7787 Yeah, most likely pays enough to live comfortably, but far less than it should given the hazards.
Loud. Even with double hearing protection it’s loud.
I can't believe these guys aren't wearing over the ear hearing protection!
WHAT???
I also can't believe that the guy near the press isn't wearing a face shield...

Nothing compares to old school machinery
Here's an idea for Mike Rowe.
Damn, I wonder how the buildings and machinery hold together with those constant vibrations.
I'm watching this video while driving for a 3000 ton press. I love this stuff
Sounds like my bedroom light switch when the misses comes to bed and im already asleep.
"Oh, but forgive me... you are, possibly, friendly with the Order of the Hammer?"
Was always curious about this. I machine 3 metre long C-shaped aluminium hammer forgings for nacelles and never actually knew how they made them. Lovely stuff
I worked on a Eire 4000 for several years good times.
Me: looking at something very heavy smashing hot metal
My brain: _Stick a hand under it_
My brain, after hearing what your brain said: He said "a hand" and not "his hand," coincidence?
The Hammer is like a very angry machine
Ironforge would be proud.

Hard working dude on the right :D

Wife: "How was work babe?"
Worker: "What?"
I’m sure OSHA appreciates how you self report like this. The number of serious safety violations in this one video are almost impressive.
I especially like how the one guy’s face protection is his forearm.
The more I watch it, the more horrible it gets. This employer deserves every bit of a workplace injury lawsuit when it comes.
Some people think if work is being done OSHA must be around. It's weird

Jeez,even the glow from the lights was vibrating.
Upstairs neighbors... all hours of the day!
I love how they're using forklifts as industrial mechs.
I have one of these in my basement to make small pocketknives as seen on the show "Forged in Far."
"Be careful now. Don't want to see my work be squandered."

I was wondering about that - so he blows the impurities away so they dont get ingrained in the metal or what?

So that's what my upstairs neighbours are doing.

So this is what my upstair neighbor is doing at midnight.
How strong is the concrete floor.
I’ve dealt with 300T & 400T blow presses at about 40 strokes per minute and I can’t even begin to fathom what this feels like
They call it the die hammer for a reason
Me when I'm really getting to it in bed.
That thing is huge! Damn! Never seen one of them before
Yea now I understand why the pizzas I order doesn't taste no more like they're made with love..
So that’s where Thor got his hammer
Are hearing aides a benefit of the company?
Gotta fetch myself one of those, just spend all day smashing things into oblivion and sometimes forging stuff.
I have worked, a 400ton press machine and i loved it
I like how all these guys that run a press think that's some kind of equivalent to this god of creation.
Me and the wife at 5am lol
Sounds like Terminator sound effects
So this is beginning blacksmithing
Holy crap that name is metal af
