[TheWorldsLimits]

HAHAHAHA! So awesome!!!

[walston410]

man say good by to them tires

[ROMAXCC]

The foundry was in WOODSTOCK,ONTARIO,CANADA.

[ROMAXCC]

this was our last day of work as they were shutting down the foundry an moving it to the states,so noone gave a shit

[Ultramarine998]

@ROMAXCC Where did the foundry used to be?

[ROMAXCC]

that was me driving the lift truck

[jlmeyer7]

I hate it when i start my converter trucks tires on fire

[DDDDACKY]

Hi i am an art student making the words of foundry workers in steel..quotes please? About how it felt in the foundries, how it made you feel.

[neogastropoda1]

@DDDDACKY you need to quit university and actually go out and learn summat practical. you would then realise that he is doing a job just like bob at the butchers

[badgerattoadhall]

@DDDDACKY get a job in a foundrie and find out do it for a bunch of years...i was a factory worker for 9.5 years before going to uni....

[kdjfnvjvd]

thats funny as hell....did anyone else notice the highly dangerous PROPANE TANK on the back of the truck?? haha this guy's got some ballz!!

[lakewood85]

Burnin Rubber Baby!!!!!!!!!!

[keepnitreal1977]

My daddy's an iron man! Has been since before I was born and Im nearing 33 now. Ive always wanted to be able to be there with him and see how he does what he does. Its so interesting to me. Im definantly proud of him....there's not many who can do a job like this for as long as he has! Shout out to all the hard core Iron workers! :-)

[daz1138]

there nowt like messing arround in rly dangerous places , i worked in a foundry 7 years and we knew how to have fun

[beau5757]

Proper blokes jobs. Steel making, mining, ship building, where have they all gone?

All there is nowadays are low paid piny wearing superficial jobs. Or high paid skim off jobs like banking.

[LincTexPilot]

I would say 120,000 miles isn't many. We had a 1974 Mack RS700L with a Big Cam 350 Cummins that went 1,600,000 miles!

I know the engine was original (but had new sleeves at least twice) and probably most of the drivetrain was, too.

[IronPourer]

Big deal. I drive a fork truck hauling iron exactly like this. Only difference is, I don't jerk it around like this guy and spill it everywhere. Look at "fireproof finger", and that's me.

[rayhaslam]

I'd sack the F.L.T. driver

[labreckcanskate]

i work in a foundry in my metals tech class its pretty fun pouring it

[SteffanLlwyd]

I had the honour to vist a foundry weekly for two years 'til it went bust ('Bummy' Leys, Derby). Casting SG/ Malleable Iron smells GOOD, fondries do something that we've depended on since the Iron Age (tens of thousands of years). They look amazing and the noise in grinding shops could wake the dead. The toughest work on Earth happens there. We should respect foundry workers. Without them my house would fall down, I'd have no car, in fact... we would absolutely be living in the Stone Age!

[labreckcanskate]

i think the smell of foundrys isnt the best but its fun just being around one and makin stuff

yeah your right if it werent for the people who put there lives over some molten iron or aluminum we would be living under rocks haha

[SteffanLlwyd]

Yep. Ithink it is just amazing to cast iron into some kind of shape, like a gear box, which is going to travel 120,000 miles on uncounted journeys, to places nobody could know in advance. If it wasn't cast, none of it could happen. And it is all possible with unpromising looking lumps of mineral rock and coking coal. I really do like the smell though I know it is not going to be everybody's favourite!

[labreckcanskate]

i havnt gotten to like make something for myself but i volunteered to help my teacher pour it for one of the seniorr classes and im a sophmore in a more advanced metals class, 120,000 miles??? thats like around the world almost 5 times

[NikolajWinther]

Actually, the Iron age wasn't that long ago. 3000 years tops.

[SteffanLlwyd]

How many tons of iron in all those years?!

[SedatedSloth]

Production: 91,000 tonnes of molten metal poured/year Produces about 500,000 engine blocks/year Two million crankshafts produced each year for seven models, ranging from 22-pound to 38-pounds.

[SteffanLlwyd]

'Hope at least some of those crankshafts are running 50 years from now....

[andyhilt27]

Fucking douche bags.

[kdjfnvjvd]

LOL! WTF??? Fuckin' dumb asses!lol! It's okay, We do the same shit from time to time at my caster. Nothin' with any of the molten steel though,...you gotta learn to respect that stuff......shit burns like hell!!! ;)

[kilburnresident]

how contemptuous from a bradken employee

[AntaresInScorpius]

did you get fired?

[2strokeaxe]

haha pretty funny hey, i surely wouldnt want to be caught doing that. should forward this to the "little people" of kilburn, hope it doesnt pollute their computer though, or else they will get all the news crews and have a big cry.

[kilburnresident]

you are a dork

the "little people of Kilburn" are not people to be tossed away as if they are worthless

you enjoy your life at bradken. maybe where you work the EPA standards are being met

BUT be assured they are NOT at Kilburn

want to be snide at those and consider us below you you are not worthy of nothing less than contempt.

[2strokeaxe]

haha mate, get a life. there is more to life than watching videos on youtube about foundrys, if you love watching foundry videos so much, then just apply for a job at bradken. we all know you love foundrys. especially the bradken kilburn plant. yes mate i agree with you 100% it does smell. but all foundrys smell. there are heaps of other people in your same boat champ.

[kilburnresident]

that is no less than contempt from a bradken employee and not unexpected

[kilburnresident]

betta watch out

as an employee you will be chastised for posting

[2strokeaxe]

get over yourself mate. i can post as much as i like, im not disclosing any confidential information, and never will. i am just as human as you are and have just as much say in life and about issues.

[kilburnresident]

who cares

at least look after YOUR neck of the woods

AND get to know our neck of the woods before posting

OK had your proaganda

enjoy working, enjoy your shares

andmaybe bradken will teach you how to pollute your kids when you are old enough to even have any

[2strokeaxe]

cheers mate will do. You look after yourself eh?

[maxmilenium2]

I have been in a foundry here in italy for electrical maintenance it's not nice place

[AntaresInScorpius]

it is bad at first, but you get used to it.

[matty6ross]

lol i had a ladle like that blow a whole...1200 pounds of hk material shot all over the floor haha

[Zoorgus]

hahaha im working at a foundry now and i so feel like doing this...

[AntaresInScorpius]

better not or you'll be fired.

[Zoorgus]
