Ran across this video of what looks to be a fairly modern forging factory, good video quality and a great product in the end. Unfortunately its in German I think, which I don't understand, but at least its not in Chinese, yet...
I was a bit puzzled when I saw them put the indentations with what first looked like a shear blade of some sort to me. Seems they're used as witness marks when necking it down eh?
It's also the first time I saw them squish a forging from the ends (3:50mins in) didn't know that was part of the process, quite a thing to stand up on its end.
Any guess at why they're poking the beast from all sides at 9:37? getting samples?
