@@coolcoolercoolest212 No. I'm a retired machinist and I used to work for a company in America that made electrical connectors. I built and designed machines for assembly and inspection of those connectors. They would go so far overboard on safety it was ridiculous. Sometimes it would more than double the cost of the machines that we were building in-house. It's one thing to prevent an inattentive operator from accidentally hurting themselves or somebody else accidentally hurting themselves on the machine, but their philosophy was "we don't want anyone to get hurt even if they deliberately try to get hurt". ( think of how much an automobile would cost if they had to design the thing in such a way that nobody could possibly get hurt with the thing no matter how hard they tried) No common sense. 🙄

This is the absolute best video that I have viewed covering this many steps. The rolling mill was a stunner and it got the job done! And handling those coils with no gloves... And I have seen some horrific accidents, especially in the mill. That guy that got his foot out of the way in time was very lucky! I've seen the result when you don't get out of the way in time - a trip to the hospital with a rod through your leg and the skin and bone badly burnt!

But we need cheap nails bro. In my country, Argentina, a US hourly "minimum wage" as burger flipper serve as a 12 day shift payment.

When these machines were new, 100 years ago during the industrial revolution these were only used to wage wars and conquest, not nation building but pillaging other nations.. War planes were made by the dozens everyday and so was forging steel for artillery! This is the legacy of the western nations. Whereas we still import these 1900s machines today for nation building, working conditions may seem poor but not for long, these nails will make millions of furniture articles for home and office use and those offices will soon produce bright ideas and progress our nation further! Todays technology is more accessible thanks to China, we have not only fabrication capacity but 3-4-5 axis cnc milling/turning machines, cnc engravers, wood routers and engravers, laser engravers and laser cutting, water jet facilities, chrome/plating facilities, all made independently through immense efforts..

[@20chocsaday]

I was shown the inside of the Kali nail works. A white painted building except at the back. That was where iron rods, coils and some rolled thin plates were stored. Inside there was an overhead traveling crane to move heavy stuff about over the black floor. It was dark and very noisy. The process seemed to be to draw out a rod through a die, then onto another drawing until it was the required thickness. As far as I could see it was a continuous process, each die would be slightly smaller and the iron would pass more quickly. This could have given them coils to use if that was what they wanted but I don't know. Eventually the iron would pass a die of the required thickness, and be moving quickly, whereupon it would be cut to length and given the end. I was told that around 1920 the die was made of cast iron. Naturally it wore and had to be reshaped and resized often. Then hardened again. Although I knew two of the people who worked there I didn't know anything about how much they produced.

@@chapiit08 I don't think he would be shocked at all. You people are shocked because you have lived very soft and sheltered lives and you consider your life to be the standard for the world. When you compare the lives of the men in this video to the life of a hamster it is alarming. The big difference between these guys and what I have seen with my own eyes is that we had workbenches but fewer fans.

[@dougaltolan3017]

A pulley just goes up and down. You'd also need a rail to use it to move. If you want more than just a single straight line, you need that rail on its own rails. The pieces are all different sizes, so whatever grabs them isn't simple. Then theres what happens when it breaks. Your work stops and you need someone experienced in getting it going agam.

[@adamgentry332]

They make simple magnets that would pick up those steel plates no matter the variable sizes

[@keithjohnston5422]

So one idea is to give the boy a SCOOP for picking up nails to put in the box make things a bit faster. Also what is the fascination of throwing everything on the ground and then having to bend over and kill your back to move it again. If they stacked things at knee or waist height they could move things easier and with far less effort.

Я работал на гвоздильном станке, и вырабатывал тонны гвоздей разного размера. Это был мой первый бизнес в 1995 оду :) Мы сразу покупали катушки с готовой проволокой. И мы закаляли гвозди в металлургической печи, иначе они оставались мягкие и легко гнулись под ударом молотка.

[@WillLightfoot]

That's odd because you normally want your nails to be mild steel so they will deform. Is why you don't use drywall screws for construction purposes, they are very hard, and so sharp and will screw through stuff without the heads twisting off, but because they are hardened, they will snap under certain conditions. If wood is too hard to hammer a mild steel nail through you need to predrill or learn better accuracy in hammering.

I was born in the united States of America in 1948 by 1954 I was pulling bags of cotton down the rows picking cotton is very hard you never know until you do it. bent over all day etc. I picked every kind of fruit and vegetable grown in California sure it was hard work but it had to be done in order for us to have enough money to live on through the winter months when there was no work to be had for 4-6 months for neither adult nor child. The hard work sets in self discipline at an early age and stops the kids from becoming corrupt like the US has become now days. I am now 76 and wish that the farm jobs were still available to all Americans like they were before the great lousy Caesar Chaves strikes that pushed hundreds of thousand of us natural born folk out of work . I would go to work now but no one wants to hire and old man except in the old days a 60-80 year old man made a living out of hard work. It sucks what the US has become; it never again will be as good as it was back in the 40-50's and early 6o's. They took our jobs we go homeless and hunger.
