Wanna see some serious tongs, press, forge, quench tank, etc?
I'm gonna be thinking about this all day.

Wow, sorry Karl but the first thing I thought of was how that thing made your Mr Twister look like a real wienie...   ;)

I was half expecting you to say that was your new shop!   Just joking!  That was facinating!

Thanks for posting Karl,
    The tolerances needed for that armature to spin at speed would be tight. The gage equipment would have to be vision technology or laser, I would think. Old fashion blacksmith skills and advanced technogies meet.

Oh my?  I am thinking you could make large sheets of 4000 layer damascus with on smoosh of the press.  I would love to see some of the things those guys create when they are bored.
