    Quite an eye opener. Great to see what can be done with minimal equipment. The way that hinge was shaped so fast was remarkable. The wide centre part would have been hard to do. I would use the pin to shape it but they obviously did not need to.

    They must have a ready supply of steel drums.

    That was great! Love seeing a guy in thongs working with molten metal.
