[TheForge] Forging a pipe flange...

[Charles]

The team work and forklift operation are impressive.  You get the impression this is not the first one they have done.  Having worked a lot in China one thing that gets me is the extreme economy of motion being exhibited.  The extreme heat and weight must dictate that after a while.  Lot of trust between the guy operating the tip and the guy placing the drift/punch because you are not seeng much in the way of hand signals, but of course in this day and age, that beast could be operated by a hand control in one of their pockets. A really neat video, thanks for sharing.
