But how do they not understand that bending metal cold, you risk breakages especially if it is tempered or cemented?? You have to heat it first.

[@ManVSMachineHD]

Yes,, you are absolutely right. After breakage they decide that next time before they heated the metal and then bend it. That anchors are other type of design, I will shoot the video very soon.

[@cuttersgoose]

You don’t always have to heat metal to bend it, depends on how annealed it is. Hot rolled steel bends easy, cold rolled steel tends to bend harder and cause fractures if not hated first.

[@echohunter4199]

It’s low grade scrap metal cast into square stock and the only thing it’s good for is manhole covers and anchors.

[@greggminkoff6733]

Batching steel is exactly like baking. You need to follow a recipe of ingredients. When you smelt alloy steel along with at least 10 different types of steel you get a mountain of problems. You don't know what the hardness is. The steel will have properties that you don't want. In this video, while they were bending the steel it kept breaking, DUH ! Just what did they think was going to happen? They don't know how to work safely. They have no protective gear. More than half the time they're barefoot. They wear clothing that looks like pajamas. They spend a lot of effort making substandard products. It's not a matter of help it's a matter of education.

Ron is correct, incestual marriages has reduced the average IQ to 65 and this is the best we can expect from them. The “steel” they use is made by melting scrap metal of all types and casted into bar stock like we see here. Sometimes they’ll get lucky and find a section that’ll bend cold. I was in Iraq in 2003-04 and had to deal with civilian workers when we sourced steel plating and they were comical to watch.

[@hastyone9048]

I’m certainly no blacksmith or steel worker but wouldn’t heating the steel allow it to bend? Additionally, WTF kind of metal are they using? Cast? My guess is if it breaks under the stress of that press it will never hold a ship in place.

[@brucerawsthorne1338]

It’s the wrong type of steel

[@ManVSMachineHD]

Exactly, before bending heating process is must. Because that steel is very hard.

[@ronblack7870]

it's actually the anchor chain that holds a ship. it needs to be heavy and is laying on the bottom. the anchor is just the end of it which helps. to lift anchor the ship will back up towards the anchor while pulling in chain . once it is on top of the anchor it will let to easily.

A very heavy chain will be needed to make the anchor lay horizontal, otherwise it will just stay upright.

I think that as soon as the boat/ship begins to drift (in the current or breeze), the anchor will topple over, drag and bite. The guys making and using these things must know their local conditions; they'd have changed the design if captains complained.
