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
What an awesome racket. I watched this from the beginning narrating in my head "Oh Fire God, we humbly beseech thee, provide us with a blessing that we may fashion after your own heart" (Fire God) *spits out large ingot of near molten hot metal* "Take and create that which is pleasing to me!" (Forklift guy takes near molten ingot and moves it into the modern day powered die hammer) "BANG! BANG! BANG! (times 50) *Ende*
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.

Must be hell working there. Always minding safety. Intense heat. The shock from those blows all day resonating through you. Must’ve been sore coming home.
@@shonuff4951 most days I’m sure. But the amount of mental energy being spent staying safe can be taxing and if things are shit at home or anything like that, can make for a tough day. I’ve worked labor in factories so I have a little experience.
@@shonuff4951i work in forging with hammer and press. Its so loud, so hot, the hot dust from those metals still find sone of youre skin, dirty. I have to all the time be focus or i will hurt my self or die. So many things can kill you there. Im praying for some office job. And my hands hurt so much.
@@Rastajevo Yeah I understand. I also work in manufacturing as a CNC machinist. Get covered in oil, coolant, metal chips/dust, and dirt/grease almost every day. And have the same risks of severe injury or even death if I'm not extremely careful with everything I do. I've cut my fingers to the bone many years ago when I was a rookie. Still have nerve damage. Nothing glamorous about it. Still, I love working with my hands and would never trade it for an office job. I think that would eventually drive me crazy. But some are fine with it. To each their own.
The fact that he's trying to protect his face with his hand is telling of how lax managment are regarding PPE. That's something you never want to see in a serious industrial environment. And they're so oblivious they let someone film it and post it over the internet...

Me when I’m trying to walk downstairs at 3am
Whahahahaha dude whahHHa
HAHAHAHAHA
Lmao
Me trying to find why I'm alive
Lul
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.

I've worked in some pretty wild places but this takes the cake
Are you sure?
I couldn't imagine having to work with that all day, even with good hearing protection.
I work at an aerospace place that has three hammers like this. I could never work in that department. Way too loud and hot
What?
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 good ol power of,.. Steam!
Dude, tell your supervisor to get you a face shield!
I can't believe these guys aren't wearing over the ear hearing protection!

I noticed that too. In fact, that was the FIRST thing I noticed. I was like heeell nah
No need ,they're all deaf.
I can’t even imagine how loud that is in there.
The smell of hot metal and the heat in the building.. the job probably sucks ass but pays alot
@@brad8179 definetly not.

Loud. Even with double hearing protection it’s loud.

Looks like the algorithm brought us all here.
See you in 7 more years
Holy fuck that's amazing, terrifying and beautiful
Nothing compares to old school machinery
The Hammer is like a very angry machine
I'm watching this video while driving for a 3000 ton press. I love this stuff
Awesome looks like fun making big stuff!
130 degrees in there.

Here's an idea for Mike Rowe.
Damn, I wonder how the buildings and machinery hold together with those constant vibrations.
"Oh, but forgive me... you are, possibly, friendly with the Order of the Hammer?"
Hard working dude on the right :D
Employee of the year am i rite?
I worked on a Eire 4000 for several years good times.
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
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 skill of the Dwarves was unequalled, fashioning objects of great beauty out of diamond, emerald, ruby, and sapphire."

Wife: "How was work babe?"
Worker: "What?"
Upstairs neighbors... all hours of the day!
the force of that thing is amazing
I've been so tired, I've fallen into bed that loudly.

thats a crazy freaking machine! Mount that thing on an armored vehicle horizontally and you probably hammer through any door/gate on the planet xD
Adoraria este trabalho.
Now I know what my neighbours are doin upstairs at night.

The sound of large, old robots going at it.
Sweet!👍
My humor is so broken I started laughing towards the end for no apparent reason
Just WOOOOW
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

I have worked, a 400ton press machine and i loved it
Super
Heavy industrial kicks 🖤
it looks like it's taking a lot of its anger out on that piece of iron.
So much for hearing
I couldn't get away from that ,quick enough...
I swear my upstairs neighbors has one of these
Her:"you're being too rough"
Me:
Badass.
They call it the die hammer for a reason
That bad boys a beast
The guy with the air wand fighting off hot impurities
I was wondering about that - so he blows the impurities away so they dont get ingrained in the metal or what?
