  3. I'm sure it has a much more technical name, or perhaps just a letter-number designation in the company's sales brochures, but "Giant hot thing grabber" works for me. It's perfect.

  4. I have been around the forge shop a few times I think we just called them a crane. But I do know that a vacuum melt ingot that it is moving.

  5. There a really cool vid somewhere on YT of them actually using it to make something, a main shaft for something large and marine, IIRC.

    Worth a watch.
