Love the private behind the scenes tour! I hope the main museum advertises these videos for those that come to see the furnace.

Great video series Rick I am enjoying how everything is being explained on the operation of all the equipment

@larrymilliken288 7 месяцев назад

It's impossible to describe the impact these scenes have on my senses. The enormity of the structures and intricate balance of gravity and steel-the design in an engineers brain who calculated the stresses and required strengths to make all this function safely is beyond my ability to fathom. Granted, in the end it's all math, but the genius it took to plan and build it is awesome! Thanks, Rick, so much-I'd love to climb up there with you!

I have always been fascinated by the complexity of it all and how everything worked together so well.

@bcbloc02 7 месяцев назад

A lot of the engineering around the turn of the century was less about the math and more about empiracle experience and scale. Many of these structures were based off old older smaller structures that had served and just scaled up to match the larger size and increased capacity. Things that were known to be issues were addressed simply by adding more to the existing design. The reason much of this stuff survived so long was because it was considerably overbuilt because the science didn't exist to define exactly what it took to do the job.

The maintenance people were the true unsung hero's of the industrial world. Just imagine trying to work on one of these hoists when it was 10 deg. and snowing like a mohucker, 100 ft. in the air. I know, I was one of them, only 1800 ft. under Lake Erie!

@YoungstownSteelHeritage 7 месяцев назад

Those were the guys I always respected the most, and the ones that I most envied because I love working on this stuff.

Thank you very much ! The maintenance must have been daunting ! The engineering too ! Must have been a big talented crew !

I hope to someday take a tour of the Carrie furnaces. I've watched videos of the regular tours but I really like your videos of the things not available on those tours. I'm 63 and never knew what it took to create steel from start to finish. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I love these videos I would love to see a video on furnace gas for engines

@YoungstownSteelHeritage 7 месяцев назад

Maybe the next time I am in Bethlehem I can do something about the gas engines.

@trottermalone379 7 месяцев назад

Enjoying the heck out of this video series! Thanks for braving the elements and your Acrophobia. Somehow someway you need to get somebody up into that bridge crane cupola with a camera. That would be the video of the year done right. I’m still curious how material moved from the car dumper hopper to the piles in the ore yard. Was the bridge crane used?

@davelewandoski4292 7 месяцев назад

These are great, very informative videos Rick, thanks so much for doing then. Isn't it amazing, how those trees, ladders, and catwalks that weren't that high .. suddenly are😂?

@happyhome41 7 месяцев назад

Another extraordinary episode. Thank you. Any chance you might follow-up with some archive footage of the mill in operation ?

@YoungstownSteelHeritage 7 месяцев назад

I really don't have any of the mill running. US Steel was notorious for not allowing photography inside their plants.

I like your video's. I like learning about old stuff and no political agenda's. Wait until you're almost 70 with a knee replacement and see how much less adventurous you are. 🤣🤣
