A 5cwt power hammer shaping white hot reclaimed wrought iron so that it can be reheated and reworked for future projects. Chris Topp & Co Ltd are based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. This footage was taken by Andy Thearle and Martin Smith from Ironart of Bath while attending the Chris Topp open day.
nice. I've been experimenting with burning mild steel in a reverberatory furnace to produce iron blooms (partially successful). The small amounts of iron that I make forge like butter.
This video really shows how soft and workable wrought iron is.
