Old school craftsmanship is always cool to watch.  From forge to finished product  all in one operation.  How many shops could do that today.  Looks like they even had an apprentice program.  Complete with special uniforms.

All that smoke on start up reminds me of my one attempt to rebuild a small engine.  Except theirs continued to run.
