I don't care about what anyone says against these people. They work extremely hard and with little to no safety equipment for hours a day, and let's not discuss salaries. I've worked in the steel industry for all of my life, and it's not easy work. I have respect for those men and anyone else who has to work this way. Although I didn't like seeing kids working
I respect the workers immensely. I absolutely abhor the corporate moguls who subject them to this kind of dangerous work without proper equipment, and for hiring children to do the work. We fought hard in this country to abolish child labor.
@@dougaltolan3017 the definition of children is not a cultural term. I can guarantee that their culture does not see those children as adults. Child labor is not a good thing , and should not be encouraged anywhere, not even in Arkansas.
Totally uneducated and have no awareness of anything different in the world. Don’t educate the poor population and keep the ‘slave…. Cheap labor’ forces going…generation after generation. 😢😢😢
@@coolcoolercoolest212 No. I'm a retired machinist and I used to work for a company in America that made electrical connectors. I built and designed machines for assembly and inspection of those connectors. They would go so far overboard on safety it was ridiculous. Sometimes it would more than double the cost of the machines that we were building in-house. It's one thing to prevent an inattentive operator from accidentally hurting themselves or somebody else accidentally hurting themselves on the machine, but their philosophy was "we don't want anyone to get hurt even if they deliberately try to get hurt". ( think of how much an automobile would cost if they had to design the thing in such a way that nobody could possibly get hurt with the thing no matter how hard they tried) No common sense. 🙄
I worked in metals for 47 years from steelmaking to rolling and cold drawing, from smelting to foundry and forging, heat treating and wireforming to 4-slide machines. This is the absolute best video that I have viewed covering this many steps. The rolling mill was a stunner and it got the job done! And handling those coils with no gloves... And I have seen some horrific accidents, especially in the mill. That guy that got his foot out of the way in time was very lucky! I've seen the result when you don't get out of the way in time - a trip to the hospital with a rod through your leg and the skin and bone badly burnt! These videos don't show you that part...but in all, great workmanship with what they have to work with.
The first part had so many potential life changing hazards I almost had to look away. The guys man handling the big plates near the shear, then the loose clothing near the belt drive. The poor guys near the foundary and then the chaps in the rolling mill.
What do you think the mills looked like here in 1890. No flops but death defying work. I can tell you one thing. No cake in the break room for Marge in accountings birthday
The noise, the deafening sound of the machines, the dirt, the toxic fumes, the risk of quashing a foot, a hand or get caught into these prewar machines....finishing with kids packing the nails....this is a NIGHTMARE !!!
But we need cheap nails bro. In my country, Argentina, a US hourly "minimum wage" as burger flipper serve as a 12 day shift payment. This is, for the same cost of upkeeping a McDonalds employee at the northern hemisphere for a day (8 hours), you get a southamerican laborer working for 8 days in 12 hour shifts, or 12 days for 8 hours if you don't want to burn the employee out. I am aware that there's even worse places. And this video shows me one. C'mon, here we get work shoes instead of crocs reinforced with a cutout tincan made at home.
You have some incredibly tame nightmares, young man. Metalwork at this scale is always noisy, and if you're worried about a little dust, you should probably stay indoors with your ozone-sterilising humidifier and a hypoallergenic blankey. Maybe a body guard -- outside of course; these people have dirty fingernails -- to halt any cooties that get ideas about breaching your quarantine.
I met a young boy 12 years old in Pakistan. His father passed away. He had 4 siblings younger than him. He goes to school, then after school works with mechanics, after work he attends madressa. This is his daily routine. He has become the breadwinner of the family. I gave him some money that evening In the mosque. The next evening he came and brought me a little present to eat and waited until i finished eating it. Don't judge if you dont know the circumstances.
I had a shitty job once. In a rubber seal and silicone mfg plant. Everything was hotter than hell and would burn you. Fumes everywhere and it stank. Was still no where near as bad as these conditions! My hats off to these workers! My prayers go forward!
I remember working in a tube factory during high school and due to the cooling milky liquid, grease, and all the iron filings I smelled like Iron no matter how many showers I took. Me and my family just accepted the fact and that there is nothing you can do about it. Thankfully I am now an office monkey now, although I miss that place.

It's wild how much wire comes from those heated billets after swaging / pulling them through all of those sizing dies! Ship hull steel is typically pretty good quality and I should think that would translate to excellent nails. Looks like they had enough raw materials to make about a bazillion more! Watching that gigantic scissor press cutting 1" plates was pretty amazing too. Great video! 👍
@@cmsracing Those plates do look like they were in pretty good shape - during the whole lockdown thing they salvaged a bunch of cruise ships - perhaps it's coming from one of those (it is painted white like cruise ships) 🤔
For the record, plate material would typically be around 0.20% Carbon whereas the steels used for plain Carbon nails are softer and typically around 0.10% Carbon or less. Lots of nails these days are madde from stainless steels which might be more expensive but last forever.

Mesmerizing film. I’m 62 now and recently retired. I realize more and more every day how lucky I was to grow up in an upper- middle class suburban neighborhood in Pittsburgh. But I don’t feel guilty about it.
I really appreaciate these videos because they show the actual process steps required for an end product. In highly automated environment it's much more dificult to decipher what is going on. And it also shows you why safetly & protection is important.
I grew up in a construction family. Nails were bought and used all the time. But until just now, I had never realized just how much effort went into producing those nails. Thank you for sharing this, I've gained new respect for those making them.
I was shown the inside of the Kali nail works. A white painted building except at the back. That was where iron rods, coils and some rolled thin plates were stored. Inside there was an overhead traveling crane to move heavy stuff about over the black floor. It was dark and very noisy. The process seemed to be to draw out a rod through a die, then onto another drawing until it was the required thickness. As far as I could see it was a continuous process, each die would be slightly smaller and the iron would pass more quickly. This could have given them coils to use if that was what they wanted but I don't know. Eventually the iron would pass a die of the required thickness, and be moving quickly, whereupon it would be cut to length and given the end. I was told that around 1920 the die was made of cast iron. Naturally it wore and had to be reshaped and resized often. Then hardened again. Although I knew two of the people who worked there I didn't know anything about how much they produced.
@@timclemons8719 sure they are😉, lots of what we buy is repackaged, from these kinds of factories. you get to see this and then its repackaged in a different karton(with a more expensive brand on it). happens with pretty much everything. i don,t believe anything anymore, when it comes to money especially.
That's high tensile steel in those plates they started with. Perfectly fine for making nails. Recycling is fine if you have a choice. These fellows are lower caste, they don't get many choices.
They could invite some high-caste guys to come and inspect their work and get them to accidentally stand in the wrong place. That’s a choice they could make. They made that sort of choice in China and now they’re so far ahead of India it’s just embarrassing. At least the Indians have them all classified in advance should they ever grow enough balls to “do the needful”.
@@nicodesmidt4034 Think, Think Godly, Think above. Try to know, Do it long enough, and youll know the answer. Might take years. Or just Read what God says.
When these machines were new, 100 years ago during the industrial revolution these were only used to wage wars and conquest, not nation building but pillaging other nations.. War planes were made by the dozens everyday and so was forging steel for artillery! This is the legacy of the western nations. Whereas we still import these 1900s machines today for nation building, working conditions may seem poor but not for long, these nails will make millions of furniture articles for home and office use and those offices will soon produce bright ideas and progress our nation further! Todays technology is more accessible thanks to China, we have not only fabrication capacity but 3-4-5 axis cnc milling/turning machines, cnc engravers, wood routers and engravers, laser engravers and laser cutting, water jet facilities, chrome/plating facilities, all made independently through immense efforts..

So one idea is to give the boy a SCOOP for picking up nails to put in the box make things a bit faster. Also what is the fascination of throwing everything on the ground and then having to bend over and kill your back to move it again. If they stacked things at knee or waist height they could move things easier and with far less effort.
I agree with you and have watched quite a few of videos like this and can only think that if they had a scoop/bench/hopper etc it would mean one job less? I may be wrong but seems that way.
A pulley just goes up and down. You'd also need a rail to use it to move. If you want more than just a single straight line, you need that rail on its own rails. The pieces are all different sizes, so whatever grabs them isn't simple. Then theres what happens when it breaks. Your work stops and you need someone experienced in getting it going agam.
Say what you want but these guys are working hard in dangerous situations and I would trust one of those nails any day over what I can get at Home Depot
Я работал на гвоздильном станке, и вырабатывал тонны гвоздей разного размера. Это был мой первый бизнес в 1995 оду :) Мы сразу покупали катушки с готовой проволокой. И мы закаляли гвозди в металлургической печи, иначе они оставались мягкие и легко гнулись под ударом молотка.
That's odd because you normally want your nails to be mild steel so they will deform. Is why you don't use drywall screws for construction purposes, they are very hard, and so sharp and will screw through stuff without the heads twisting off, but because they are hardened, they will snap under certain conditions. If wood is too hard to hammer a mild steel nail through you need to predrill or learn better accuracy in hammering.
Well to be honest, if you put an Indian and Pakistani standing side by side I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just like a Canadian standing by an American.
I like to watch these videos not just to see how things are created in developing countries. But also to see the interesting tools they create to finish the job. Such as nail rope taped together to make rakes or some of the hoods and turning machines.
Interesting topic! But I can't help but wonder, is the mass production of nails contributing to environmental issues? 🤔 Would love to hear different perspectives on this.
I think their primary concern is eating. It is surprising how fast your "don't care" comes up, when you can't eat. Who cares if the animals have it better than they do. Don't worry, though the environment always wins. It may take a minute, though.
Man these people embody hard work and using simple techniques to reuse things ..its a win for all of the world !! Reuse when you can use only what you need and be kind to others
ok, the kid using a nail to break off the piece of tape and then use the nail to "save" the next starting point... I finally learned something to start doing in my own life in these videos.
These young men certainly graft hard and not a single pair of safety boots between them. Just imagine what injuries would be received if one of those plates land on their feet. They would be crippled for life.
This is classic pre Industrial Revolution stuff. I recently went to a lecture about the way manufacturing was in the 1700,s way before USA even existed. In the UK we were doing work like this then (no video though) only sketches recording what went in. These guys work hard but are 200 years behind the Western economy.. labour is cheap and expendable
No, this is prime Industrial Revolution stuff - mass production, minimal safety, marginal regulation. child labor, all straight out of the darkest images of the Victorian era. Hell, they even have giant flywheels driven by leather belts!
They disproves the old saying they don’t make them like they used to. This is exactly how they used to do it lol!! All I can say is god bless these men for all their hard work and I hope they have a good big meal waiting for them at the end of the day. They have certainly earned it. Good work fellas ! Keep on keeping on!

I was told that around 1920 the die was made of cast iron. Naturally it wore and had to be reshaped and resized often. Then hardened again.
Although I knew two of the people who worked there I didn't know anything about how much they produced.

Thumbs up??? Those are underage children packing those nails in boxes!
That's high tensile steel in those plates they started with. Perfectly fine for making nails. Recycling is fine if you have a choice.
These fellows are lower caste, they don't get many choices.
They could invite some high-caste guys to come and inspect their work and get them to accidentally stand in the wrong place. That’s a choice they could make. They made that sort of choice in China and now they’re so far ahead of India it’s just embarrassing. At least the Indians have them all classified in advance should they ever grow enough balls to “do the needful”.
This product is probably then sold by European businessmen as Made in EU...

All that ancient British machinery STILL working, wow..
It'll probably outlast everyone and chug along forever.
When these machines were new, 100 years ago during the industrial revolution these were only used to wage wars and conquest, not nation building but pillaging other nations.. War planes were made by the dozens everyday and so was forging steel for artillery! This is the legacy of the western nations.
Whereas we still import these 1900s machines today for nation building, working conditions may seem poor but not for long, these nails will make millions of furniture articles for home and office use and those offices will soon produce bright ideas and progress our nation further!
Todays technology is more accessible thanks to China, we have not only fabrication capacity but 3-4-5 axis cnc milling/turning machines, cnc engravers, wood routers and engravers, laser engravers and laser cutting, water jet facilities, chrome/plating facilities, all made independently through immense efforts..

Incredibly hard work made harder by the abysmal lack of workplace ergonomy.
For those of us that are not GREEK - "ergonomy" is not really a word, but it means roughly 'work law' in English. So I don't know what this poor guy is trying to say. I think he is trying to use college words to look smart but he doesn't know what those words actually mean. He wants respect but only gets pity.

I wonder if these guys qualify for Aflac
So one idea is to give the boy a SCOOP for picking up nails to put in the box make things a bit faster. Also what is the fascination of throwing everything on the ground and then having to bend over and kill your back to move it again. If they stacked things at knee or waist height they could move things easier and with far less effort.
I agree with you and have watched quite a few of videos like this and can only think that if they had a scoop/bench/hopper etc it would mean one job less? I may be wrong but seems that way.
dont be disrupting this perfectly balanced system theyve got here now...

All that steel and equipment and no one can figure out an overhead pulley system to transport those giant pieces?
its pakistan dude,its cheaper just to hire men than invest in equipment
The American Indians never invented the wheel. The Asian Indians never invented the table!
@@oldandintheway9805 yeah I get it. Poor people are cheap to replace. Who needs modern equipment.
A pulley just goes up and down. You'd also need a rail to use it to move. If you want more than just a single straight line, you need that rail on its own rails.
The pieces are all different sizes, so whatever grabs them isn't simple.
Then theres what happens when it breaks. Your work stops and you need someone experienced in getting it going agam.
They make simple magnets that would pick up those steel plates no matter the variable sizes
I love recycling material for other uses . I think you guys should build a roller system to the shear . Might save a back .
This is a VERY inefficient method of recycling that steel. The labour factor is the only thing keeping it operational.
Somewhere else in the world, A recycling business is harvesting and melting down millions of nails to make ship plates

Say what you want but these guys are working hard in dangerous situations and I would trust one of those nails any day over what I can get at Home Depot

Я работал на гвоздильном станке, и вырабатывал тонны гвоздей разного размера. Это был мой первый бизнес в 1995 оду :) Мы сразу покупали катушки с готовой проволокой. И мы закаляли гвозди в металлургической печи, иначе они оставались мягкие и легко гнулись под ударом молотка.
That's odd because you normally want your nails to be mild steel so they will deform. Is why you don't use drywall screws for construction purposes, they are very hard, and so sharp and will screw through stuff without the heads twisting off, but because they are hardened, they will snap under certain conditions. If wood is too hard to hammer a mild steel nail through you need to predrill or learn better accuracy in hammering.

Well to be honest, if you put an Indian and Pakistani standing side by side I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just like a Canadian standing by an American.
@@Elsprouto Actually you can easily distinguish between an Indian and a Pakistani by their clothes.
I like to watch these videos not just to see how things are created in developing countries.
But also to see the interesting tools they create to finish the job. Such as nail rope taped together to make rakes or some of the hoods and turning machines.
The use of recycled Heineken boxes is awesome. Not even being sarcastic. Who cares what’s printed on it, it works.
Interesting topic! But I can't help but wonder, is the mass production of nails contributing to environmental issues? 🤔 Would love to hear different perspectives on this.
It's recycling. This is how recycling works... even the packaging is recycled beer cardboard
I think their primary concern is eating. It is surprising how fast your "don't care" comes up, when you can't eat. Who cares if the animals have it better than they do. Don't worry, though the environment always wins. It may take a minute, though.
I can't help but wonder if women contribute to anything besides a warm hole to plow, or if they simply exist to try and make things more difficult.
Nobody there cares about environment.

This is classic pre Industrial Revolution stuff. I recently went to a lecture about the way manufacturing was in the 1700,s way before USA even existed. In the UK we were doing work like this then (no video though) only sketches recording what went in. These guys work hard but are 200 years behind the Western economy.. labour is cheap and expendable
Right!
