Now that we have seen an overhaul, it is time to build a new one. Same era and more cool tools.

Crazy, wheres Osha when you need them, worried about workers slowing down so they put bandanas on their heads, what about their eyes!

Amazing stuff. Things that stuck out to me:
how they off-set / countered the weight while coming in/out of the press with that sheet.....7 or 8 men sitting on the opposite side.
how large a man was in the smitty slinging on that hammer. You'd figure 8hrs day slinging a hammer would trim you up.
that beast of a ratchet being used to tighten on the boiler tubes. I now better understand the context of ratchets such as the Lowell 7/8" drive I recently picked up.
holding those tools above the working metal on that HUGE hammer/press as its working. Can you imagine if you didn't get your tool on exactly the same plane as the metal when the hammer hit. Seems like that would hurt.

Oily, I have a long standing rule. Never pick a fight with guys that bale hay and load it by hand, roofing truck drivers or anyone that swings a 12lb hammer all day. I won't arm wrestle them either.
