Here is a preview for our video my brother shot in 1990. These are not photo specials, but regular service. He got to visit the steam shop, and watch them fling hot rivets from the fire across the shop. They would land and the workers would grab them with the big tongs and stuff them in the piece they were working on. Pretty classic stuff. These guys were really good at it too!!!
