Those guys work well together
How's your Eyes? Can I borrow your Safety Specs Please Mate?
They appear to be making them from pieces of huge cut up anchor chain!!!!
I am most impressed with the whole process and how well they all work together.
Some things that really caught my eye;
Steel Toe sandals.

Surface plate for checking run out and straightness.

I think there may be 3 heats involved. At about 1:40 they switch from straightening the bends to reducing diameter. Cannot be sure but I think they may have reheated before they switched to that work station.
It is impressive either way.
