Reminds me when I was a Hammer smith at a old local forge. (Long gone now) Started off on a 3000 lbs and worked up to a 12 ton Steam Hammer..

This is how I earned my living when I was 21-22 years old. I was a helper, not a forger, on a steam hammer that was a good deal more violent than this air hammer. I pulled 200-300lb billets out of the oven, carried them to the anvil, helped the forger pry the finished forging loose and carry it to the trim press, and operated the trim press. We forged flywheel blanks for Caterpillar, and gear blanks for GE locomotives. Serious accidents were a definite possibility. The plant is now closed.
