Clearly very smart people, forging with just forklifts and a huge drop hammer

I saw that yesterday, almost shared the link as well. It's a real ugly
operation until they machine the thing down. You can see calipers at one
point and the rest of the measuring seems to be with some sort of rod with
markings of some sort. My question is how consistent are those flanges
from the start of the shift to the end, or on a rainy day when they're
slipping in mud or anything like that.

It looks like they know what they are doing, removing last 1/2 inch or
so
