Where are you in the World? I am in Australia and thought pretty much the same thing! not to mention the inspection bench was a knee killer!

Yeah its stuff from the 20s and 30s. I ran a highfreq tube mill almost 25 years and it was from the 70s. It was updated, but the weld current came from a radio oscillator tube. Today it's all mosfets transistors that creates the highfreq current

@@FjHenderson Newcastle NSW Tubemakers Duragal mill 1994-2010, added inline gal tank and internal painting lances after inspection bench, was operator and later maintenance then off to Uni after that! It was a 2 inch mill, so 20*20 up 100*100 in the middle 50*50 at 100 metres per minute. yellow guards everywhere and a complete concrete jungle complete with a row of Gantry cranes that would be most costly, it was originally built after 1950 but tat mill had been up graded so many times it was completely different when I was there, I know it it still running

Good that they have shoes. On some of the videos they work either barefoot or in flipflops

No safety regulations. I love how they are working with sheet metal and wearing sandles.😮😂

This is somewhere in Pakistan or Afghanistan. There is no money for safety standards like in Europe or the U.S..

This shop makes a product that sells. The cost of PPE is peanuts. The difference is the owners are not compelled by law to provide PPE and a safe workplace, so they don’t.

​@@tonyfield2360 That's right, and they pass that savings on to the entire world.

@@joshuakarr-BibleManI’d gladly pay an extra cent for my car so that that guy doesn’t go blind in a few years

@@LeggaTim I'm absolutely not opposed to buying American if you can afford it. The ideal amount of safety though, is somewhere between those two extremes.

Lower energy costs start the ball rolling. India has subsidised, Coal fired, energy for a lot of manufacturing and excellent grants for renewables if used for production. A place a I was working at least year had all of the power requirements for one foundry and machine shop provided by a large Solar array on the roof. With lots of sunshine and regular cleaning (India is dusty) it works well. They run a five day, three shift system and export power on the down days. Quality wise they were good, the plant I was based at manufacturers all of the engine cylinder liners for Jaguar/Landrover. Labour costs don't play that big a part as the foundry and machine shops were highly automated.

Isn't that what we want? Cheap stuff? Big companies make more money? Shareholders happy?

@@rcpattaya230 We love cheap stuff ...Ship it !

There is no forging involved in any of these processes.

Where is the forging in this video?

Roll forming of the steel is a form of forging, which is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. That roll looks like crap and you may suspect integrity of anything produced by it.

I just looked up, Pakistan is only second to India in fatal workplace accidents, 44.2 deaths per 100,000. India has 116, the U.S. has 5.2. The average laborer in Pakistan makes $9.50 for a 12 hour day.

​@@bigredc222 I've seen similar dangerous facilities in South East Asia. No one really seemed to care despite many issues being a trivial thing to fix. I believe a lot of it is a cultural fatalism. I've also been to factories in Indonesia where Western client companies demand proper safety equipment and processes. Worker safety, satisfaction and output is significantly higher in factories with enforced safe work practices. Client companies also pay for some safety iniatives and have inspectors to make sure safety is observed. If purchasing companies demanded such basics of their Pakistani and Indian suppliers before agreeing to buy from these factories, the worst of these issues would be fixed quick smart.

The channel’s location is given as Pakistan.

Electric welding rollers under pressure.

Check out the other comments about old work environments. Modern safety mandates were developed over many years as a result of accidents in factories in the UK, France, Germany and the US and other countries. It's been a long process and countries without the mandates or means financially do what they need to do for now.

@@user-vp1sc7tt4m My comment was meant more for how someone set up a company then let it grind itself down into the dirt. Most of these videos show a brick floor, at least a solid floor, but they show no signs of having ever been swept. scrap is scattered around. Care of the workplace cost very little to no money. The machinery is just this side of junk and there is nearly no care for the workers safety. This does cost but requires some foresight. I had a machinery book dating from the 1910s that mentioned worker safety if for no other reason. because it cost the employer to replace an injured worker.

For tacking something... Not for welding a seam

Thats his secret he already is.

Incorrect. Pipe may have any profile.

Depends on the type of steel used. The heat of the processes drives off most of the water, but once cooled and with enough exposure, rust might begin to take hold on the finished tubes.

Structural steel like this, that is prone to rust, is usually shipped to the customer with a light film of grease/lubricant on the outside which mitigates rust. All of that is cleaned off with solvents prior to priming and painting or powder coating.

Most likely Ford

Love the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory reference! I immediately played the Oompa Lumpa tickety boo lyrics in my mind after reading your comment!

It's also a Diesel Creek reference
