I've never had to work in a place like that... so I am totally fascinated by it.
Just the sheer size and weight of what they're making... wow.

Those 1-1/4" x 8' x 20' sheets weigh 8,160 lbs!

The scope and scale was so different than anything I'd seen before.......totally fascinated. It was a remarkably clean facility too!

I assume a lot of the material isn't your regular mild steel? The excavator teeth and buckets aren't mild steel are they?

Nice pictures. That stuff is awesome.
