This is like looking in a time capsule. Early steam and internal combustion engine parts were often cast via open pour floor moulds like this. The engine the Wright Brothers used in the first successful airplane was made this way by a small foundry. amazing how far we have come in 100 years.
@@chrishayes5755 I was about to say something similar, it looks perfectly serviceable for what it was made for...Sure it needs a lot of cleaning up but if it works the way it was intended i don't see a problem with the finished piece.
I really don't see what is amazing about something that is so natural for people in the Asian world billions of people men and women, its something they do from a very young age. It happens here in England I've seen it many times myself.
I served my apprenticeship in a foundry for 4 years doing moulding in Scotland.. Back in the day there were foundries all over Scotland now there are none.. These guys know their trade with really basic tools..Kudos to them.. Once you have learned how to pour molten metal as they did you get to use your feel when the label is really low, almost empty.... At one point the guy pouring the metal his hand was almost touching the floor.. At that point you can rest the label on your foot...
Let's go down the list... 1. Digging molds barefoot. 2. Closing up the firebox bare handed (he did have mud or whatever that was on them). 3. Pouring molten steel (2300°-2700°F) in flip-flops and no safety gear. 4. Pouring slag or dirt right in with the metal. 5. If you're not paying attention, you can literally get a hot foot. Seriously, these guy show exceptional skill in their craft. Be safe fellas.
@Flo Kid Every work is not skilled, that's why they're called unskilled laborers. Generally if you didn't go to school to learn a trade or earn a degree, you are an unskilled laborer and could probably be replaced by a chimpanzee/ robot in the future
This is how it was done for thousands of years, since people first learned to cast metal. Even modern factories still use this sand casting method although they usually don't dig holes in the ground. And don't be mislead. Just because that metal is liquid doesn't mean it's not heavy. 😥
@@JackpineGandy cast iron is still bloody hot though, depending on the purity and other metals that might be mixed in the general melting point is between 1127-1204 degrees C!
Strike the iron while it is hot .They are doing their work honestly and unitedly . Really hardworking but it is good for them to follow safety measures .
@Dark Aster That's the part of a genius. Classic shoes - once you pour liquid metal in, it will be kept inside around your feet - that is so dangerous. Sandals are not prone to such a terrible danger
@@samsunga10samsung78 с какого ничего нельзя было делать? тебе конь нашептал? бабке своей расскажи. может в 50-е и нельзя, а в 70-х, уже через двор, циркулярка и фуганок. кто хотел, тот делал. да и зачем, пошел на завод, отсидел 8 часов и лавэ в кармане. спекуляция было запрещена. да, по сему и рвет на запчасти. хотя теперь вам раздолье. вот только навыков к работе у вас нет.
@@samsunga10samsung78 Кто тебе запрещал что-то делать? Дома все шабашили, у кого были руки на месте. У меня отец автоэлектрик был, так он 8 часов отработает в АТП, домой приходит, а там уже очередь из машин стоит. И государство не бегало их не ловило. Сейчас же понабегут полиция, пожарная, налоговая, ещё даже открыться не успеешь как предприниматель, а уж за шабашниками они везде бегают и душат их. Так что не ври, лжец, не было такого, как ты говоришь.
@@samsunga10samsung78 не пишите чушь. мой сосед выстроил два гаража и занимался покраской и рихтовкой авто. все об этом знали и никому не было до этого дела. я занимался ремонтом электроники, несли с половины города и никаких проблем. и все это в центре крупного города.
@@thetwoexplorers5505 ,We are talking about safety shoes (slippers), this is very dangerous. In Russia, when metal is melted, they work in heat-resistant clothes.
Parabéns pelo trabalho, pessoal que aqui fica falando besteiras sobre os processos de produção, não são capazes de fazer metade do serviço que vocês fazem. Abraços do Brasil.
Мы на восьмом своем мартене Варили огненную сталь. И обогнав часы и время Внесли поправку в календарь Пускай сегодня дождь и лужи. Среди ноябрьских непогод Как будто средь январской стужи Мы встретим, хлопцы, Новый год Мой друг, простой по виду парень, он не гитарой знаменит, Он просто сталь в мартене варит, за партой вечером сидит. Он днем с огнем, а ночью с книжкой, привык он время обгонять, Он на завод пришел мальчишкой, а стал хозяином огня. А дома мать, сестренка с братом, и фотография отца, что на войне погиб солдатом от автоматного свинца. ДА, нелегко тебе порою, но ты мой друже не робей, Есть судьбы легче, я не спорю, но нет прекраснее твоей.
@@thetraitor3852 Maybe they make it in two parts so they can put it onto line shafts? Would be easier than slipping the pulley all the way down a shaft. But why they're still using line shafts is another question.
Their feet are as tough as mountain goat hooves, but if that hot liquid magma run across one of ems toes,, this would turn into a dance mix video real quick
@1928mehdi sh he didn't say that they are goats, but their feet are as strong as mountain goat hooves(feet) their feet can resist such that heat, just like mountain goat run & climb rocks, it's hooves are so durable
That's what I was thinking. Most of the stuff they cast, I can tell what it is, but this is puzzling. I like the forge . guy up top putting scrap in as they get metal out of the bottom.
It's great idea but but rather than investing i would say if you are a metallurgical engineer you must consider opening training school skill development institute it would be much appreciated
The allure of the job and skills wears out after doing this everyday all day I'm sure. What I'm interested now is having an interview with one of these workers and their family, outside of work. I want to see that they are at least enjoying their life with the hard work they are doing.
