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.
And the precision used to straighten any defective axles.

It's an impressive amount of work to accomplish in just two heats.
emu roo (Oct 18, 2025)
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.
