I am a retired Industrial Union Blacksmith from the Ladish Company in Cudahy Wisconsin, we have the world's largest counterblow Hammer of which I was a crew member for almost 20 years. Excellent video, brings back a lot of ”heavy metal" memories! ”FORGED STEEL; THE METAL YOU CAN TRUST!”
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. I wish I could give you more then one sub

Great video, dreadful AI pronunciation.
I cant believe how many errors were made in this video. Just too many to list. Advise to History Junkie. Do some proper research in future as you are making yourself look silly.
