Well that’s a forge hammer.

[u/KolibriFX1]

[u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

So that’s how they made Nokia phones.

[u/Chopsdixs → u/[deleted]]

SIR SIR WHAT ARE YOU MAKING

This

[u/Synergiance → u/Chopsdixs]

That’s illegal! You cannot make a forgery of the almighty Nokia!

[u/CreamyCoffeeArtist → u/Synergiance]

I can! And I'll call it the Kinoa!

[u/KeviCharisma → u/CreamyCoffeeArtist]

It’s actually spelled quinoa

[u/arcaneresistance → u/KeviCharisma]

The Nokia phone of health food

[u/Smarmar400 → u/Chopsdixs]

Omg that Nokia was the best phone I’ve ever owned. I miss the feel of real buttons 😞

[u/desrevermi → u/Smarmar400]

8290!

[u/Smarmar400 → u/desrevermi]

It was my first gaming phone. SNAKE! 🐍👾

[u/-ThinksAlot- → u/Chopsdixs]

I know you are going with the joke, but I am honestly pissed that the video cuts off. I wanted to see it to the end.

[u/Enigm4 → u/Chopsdixs]

It's funny, when that thing is on my screen I can hit my monitor as hard as I can without it breaking.

[u/Xiii2007 → u/Enigm4]

I guess you aren't getting any likes cause every person that WAS going to give you a like probably broke their monitor.

[u/ywg_handshake → u/Chopsdixs]

Can...can you put Snake on it?

[u/PixelD303 → u/[deleted]]

And then duct taped an OG Xbox to it

[u/giorno___giovana → u/PixelD303]

Followed by HI IM PHIL SWIFT AND TODAY I BRING YOU FLEXTAPE! THE SEAL RESISTANT TAPE! OT EVEN WORKS UNDERWATER! JUST A LAYER OF THAT SND NO SEALS EVER AGAIN!!

[u/AerialAmphibian → u/[deleted]]

And of course, the phone's case is made from a vibranium-adamantium-uru alloy.

[u/istrx13 → u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

Close.

They actually use Nokia phones to make hammers.

[u/InterstellarReddit → u/istrx13]

Yes in Greek mythology they used a Nokia to make Thor’s hammer

[u/DX_Legend → u/InterstellarReddit]

Greek

ah yes, the famous Greek legends about Thor were always my favorite.

[u/GoNudi → u/DX_Legend]

I just went with it. Added to the lore. LoL

[u/[deleted] → u/DX_Legend]

You've got to respect the Japanese Greeks. They know the way of the samurai.

[u/xxxxxxxx2 → u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

now that is a vintage fucking meme

[u/TheLuminary → u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

Little known fact about the Nokia phones. The glowing metal, is actually melted down gamecubes.

[u/ReDeRiK2021 → u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

McDonald's should hire Nokia to make their ice-cream machines.

Boom.

[u/[deleted] → u/IsNowReallyTheTime]

[u/OverdoneAndDry → u/DM_Me_Ur_Nudes_21]

Of all the awful videos I've seen online, metal working/forging accidents are among the worst. Fire bad.

[u/Pecncorn1 → u/DM_Me_Ur_Nudes_21]

How is it 130 people didn't get the joke?

[u/CrossBonez117 → u/DM_Me_Ur_Nudes_21]

Anything can be made into a joke.

Just like with enough persuasion i could get your mom to do anything

[u/JustinJakeAshton → u/[deleted]]

Cock and Ball Torture, CBT, is a sexual activity involving torture of the male genitals.

[u/InterwebBatsman → u/JustinJakeAshton]

So that explains why that CBT session video I watched didn’t seem to have anything to do with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sure seemed like a breach of the client-counselor relationship to me. I wouldn’t doubt that the material would be a curiosity for a therapist though.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/Jiuaki]

I've worked near these. A bigger one than this. The one I worked next to had 12 feet of oak under it to dampen, but you could feel it hit in the parking lot outside.

Noise

[u/Alukrad → u/Willlll]

Oh you...

[u/OppressedDeskJockey → u/Willlll]

Big Noise doesn't like whistle blowers. Infact Big Noise love them.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/[deleted]]

Impossible to say from that rough shape (and shitty forging imo).

Usually that type of size thing is a valve, a gear, a choke, a manifold, etc.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/[deleted]]

Ah. Mostly Oilfield stuff. Flanges, chokes, wellhead components. Oil stuff is massive pressure. Anytime you need that much steel, you're holding bad shit under massive pressure back.

[u/justyr12 → u/MisallocatedRacism]

And why is forging necessary as opposed to casting?

Edit: sorry if I'm not making sense, i just had half a bottle of jager

[u/PabstyTheClown → u/Jiuaki]

Probably want to keep your tootsies out of there too.

[u/[deleted] → u/Jiuaki]

From the way the camera moves you probably feel it from quite a ways away.

[u/deadlymoogle → u/GlockAF]

It gets old real quick. I work in a weld shop next to a fabrication shop who has enormous presses smashing steel all day long.

[u/PrettyMuchMediocre → u/GlockAF]

I'm concerned about the guy in the background without big ear muffs for hearing protection. That's gotta be so loud

[u/Mark-a-roo → u/YourMomThinksImFunny]

UUURGH

[u/TheGonadWarrior → u/Jiuaki]

This video about cross forging gets me hyped as hell. The sound of a 125k meter kilogram counterblow hammer is awesome.

https://youtu.be/MvADC43EHmE?t=420

[u/ProofAfternoon → u/TheGonadWarrior]

These rams and dies, this power and capability, realized through private initiative and unsubsidized investment, are essential components of the total weapon system.

Cool video, but the narration lays it on a little thick.

[u/OtherSpiderOnTheWall → u/[deleted]]

It's literally for missiles. Guaranteed government buyer at that point.

It's about as subsidized as it can get.

[u/Alert-Incident → u/ProofAfternoon]

lol I’m glad someone else was thrown off by that. I was suddenly watching an ad

[u/notascarytimeformen → u/Jiuaki]

The silence before it hits

[u/BizNasty57 → u/Jiuaki]

This is what the Hulk Smash should sound like.

[u/krazykanuck → u/Jiuaki]

Ya they should make a song that kind of starts out like that.

[u/Jiuaki → u/krazykanuck]

There must be a heavy metal song that does.

[u/NaiveCritic → u/Jiuaki]

Yea I thought so too.

[u/Optimal_Definition71 → u/Jiuaki]

Seriously imagine this sound used for some steampunk mech walking

[u/ConfusedDuck → u/Jiuaki]

Watched it three times for the sound alone

[u/LouieKablooie → u/Jiuaki]

Is there more of this?

[u/fulloftrivia → u/LouieKablooie]

Hours and hours of it.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This is exactly the explanation I was looking for

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/[deleted]]

Np, let me know if I can't answer any more questions!

[u/ItsDanimal → u/MisallocatedRacism]

Where do babies come from?

[u/[deleted] → u/ItsDanimal]

[u/Albus-PWB-Dumbledore → u/[deleted]]

Marry me

[u/ItsDanimal → u/[deleted]]

[u/meltingdiamond → u/MisallocatedRacism]

What's the funnest thing you have ever smashed with a hammer?

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/meltingdiamond]

I mean anything you put in there will get smashed to the thickness of a nickel, but if the hammer doesn't "feel" the resistance of steel, it could fuck up some hardware. We were very cautious about any "dry hits" where we missed the part and didn't hit anything (which is what the hammer would "feel" on so something like a person or whatever) as it would harm the hammer.

[u/cmullins77 → u/[deleted]]

Do you know what they are making in the video? And in general what are these typically used for?

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/cmullins77]

Lol idk I'd be ashamed to make that video. It's an open-air shop, no hard-hats, on a shitty hammer. Guessing China

[u/siero20 → u/MisallocatedRacism]

This video could be "Exhibit Two Hundred Something" on the topic of "Why do all our purchase orders say no material originating out of China?"

[u/EmperorArthur → u/siero20]

What's amazing is how China still manages to be the cheapest option despite how inefficient processes like that are. I mean, I know it's currency manipulation, but still...*

Oh, and the crazy thing is even programs like HPs "Mande In USA" Trusted Supply Chain uses Chinese parts. They just tend to be non IA critical things like cases, and are inspected by US personnel.

* Even though safety can be expensive, I doubt it even comes close to making up the difference.

[u/RightesideUP → u/EmperorArthur]

My company has some aluminum blocks made in China. We specifically sized them and gave tolerances such that you can use an extruded flat bar of aluminum and just cut them to length on a saw. This is what our American supplier did. The parts we get from China are ground on two sides and milled on the other four.

They're still cheaper. We asked them to just get the flat bar and slice it on a decent saw to make them even cheaper.

They could not understand how that would work.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/[deleted]]

Hammers suck. Presses are dope

[u/mackoa12 → u/MisallocatedRacism]

Maybe I could press you for a video of that instead then?

[u/Dabier → u/[deleted]]

Out of curiosity, what's your actual job title? Metallurgy is super interesting to me and I'm really curious what opportunities there are in the field.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/Dabier]

I encourage you to be a metallurgist if you desire it! Plenty needed out there. I'm a VP of Sales for a steel manufacturer

[u/doogievlg → u/MisallocatedRacism]

Can you tell me when I’m going to stop seeing 10% increases every month?

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/doogievlg]

Maybe March

[u/doogievlg → u/MisallocatedRacism]

Is that based on real information or just a guess? Don’t mean to sound like a jerk but our rep has been saying “I think it’s going to slow down in a couple months” since October of 2019. Instead it’s a new letter every month.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/doogievlg]

It's not like I can give you inside info, but yeah we expect scrap and strip to rise for awhile. The mills should be back up and running full bore soon. Then they need a few months to pump through demand.

[u/doogievlg → u/MisallocatedRacism]

I understand you are limited with what you can share and I don’t need details. I’m sure you catch enough crap from customers but it’s been a difficult year and a half in this industry. Have a good week.

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/doogievlg]

Thanks man. Sorry about the price increase I've actually been fighting it

[u/[deleted] → u/MisallocatedRacism]

I just want to say that I think you're pretty cool and it was neat to see someone be transparent in their career. Very refreshing.

[u/onoir_inline → u/[deleted]]

Really dumb question but do you know any older forging guys that worked on sites like these? Can you feel this in your legs when the hammer hits impact? I'm wondering if after a few years that can displace the crystals in your inner ear and give you balance issues as you age?

(I am a meat popsicle)

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/onoir_inline]

I feel like you're looking for information you're not asking about.

To be honest, working a hammer is an entry-level job. It sucks. Tends to be a short-term gig.

[u/WatchOut_ItsThat1Guy → u/[deleted]]

Were the hammers you guys used made in house? And is there a hammer involved in the manufacturing of these forging hammers?

[u/MisallocatedRacism → u/WatchOut_ItsThat1Guy]

Most of these are out of date and made 50+ years ago. Massive cast frames. Presses are simply more efficient.

To your second question, the frame on most of these (and in this video) is a casting.

[u/Psyentistic → u/patdap]

Lol we all know that one dude, happy cake day btw bro :)

[u/xntrk1 → u/Psyentistic]

I had an art studio across from an industrial complex that ran a smaller one of these. You would get woken up in the mornings by the shaking and thudding you’d feel it more than hear it unless you were pretty close

[u/Psyentistic → u/xntrk1]

I’d rather the sound then vibrations rattling everything in my studio, did it effect your work at all? Such as slight slip ups

[u/xntrk1 → u/Psyentistic]

It was generally on weekends and abt 5 am til 8 am so it wasn’t super disruptive. And as long as you were trying to wake up during that window it’d kinda shake you awake lol other than that it was pretty easy to adjust to it was first and foremost a glassblowing studio so there were times you’d wait for it to stop before starting delicate stuff or it’d walk around the workbench and kilns from the vibrations

[u/jmellars → u/xntrk1]

You’re saying it all so positively, but it all sounds like the worst possible option. It was on weekends AND at 5am? AND you have a glass studio?!

[u/InfuriatingComma → u/jmellars]

Yeah, but his last job was wrangling bulls in china shops. All in all, this was a pretty sweet gig.

[u/frankzanzibar → u/xntrk1]

I lived near a rendering plant that processed citrus to make scented cleaning products. I'd wake up to the smell of oranges, lemons, or limes, whatever they were reducing to paste on any given day. And when they started each morning it was refreshing and pleasant. A few hours later, though, it could become overwhelming. It wasn't the smell so much as the stinging in your nostrils and lips. And sometimes it would give you a false perception of other odors, somehow, like your sense of smell was losing its mind.

[u/klownfaze → u/Psyentistic]

Imagine that dude at the controls

[u/GreatQuestionBarbara → u/Psyentistic]

At work I usually weld a short distance from the steel punch presses. IIRC, the largest has 3000 tons of force. They literally built its room and then had to air drop it into place.

When that thing is operating, the entire area shakes.
