The lack of safety equipment or ergonomic work space is pretty obvious but it’s their normal daily routine. We should consider ourselves lucky if we are living in countries where the majority of this kind of work is automated and the majority would be done with the press of a button and minimal labour involved. Makes one think about how lucky we are.

Cool to see this heavy cutting done without a plasma or water jet cutter or computerized cutting. Their heavy pantograph for torching small parts out of heavy sheet was fairly modern, though some of the torching was done freehand. Great work by great workers, I just wish we could all get along and respect our differing cultures and religions and quit blowing people up everywhere, from the ground and from the air, all sides would benefit from a forever-cease-fire.

I've seen so many of these videos from some of the not first world countries, and honestly feel bad for the lack of tooling they have. But a lot of these videos they make due with what they have and do a darn good job at it. If a group of businesses got together to raise some money to help them, they would be producing a lot more of the high quality parts that they are. And it won't be any of that assembly line garbage that will break on you, but high quality that someone took pride in making like this

Respect to all those that commented. Sure these guys work hard. When I went to Pakistan i saw a kid reconditioning a motor bike engine on the street. He was probably 10 or 11 years old. I watched him for 2 hours. He put all parts together and it worked perfect and in pounds he got maybe 14 pounds to do it..
