Post by: Rob.Wilson on April 24, 2010, 02:55:11 PM

Hi Lads

 here are a few shots of were i have the good fortune to go and do a bit work ,once  a month  ;D , the lads are forging large diff gear blanks , using drop hammers , the site dose have steam hammers , but they now run them on air . when the hammer are in use the ground shakes , its facinating to see these lads in action , not a word spoken , too loud , The way they move lage lumps of red hot steel about
