That looks a lot like my shop. Except we out source our heat treating, and we don't actually forge anything the way he seems to. We build sheet metal parts. As an example, we built this frame for the replica liberty bell for the National Liberty Museum in Philly.
The frame itself is made of Steel tubing. 1/4" wall to make it good and strong. The decorative stainless steel cover on the bottom hides access for a fork lift or pallet jack so that the Museum can easily take the bell to and from companies that have given them a large donation. The bell was poured from the same mold that made the original bell, and they replicated the crack by milling into the surface. It weighs somewhere around 1800-2400 lbs. I don't recall exactly (it's been 10 years since we built it). It was funny carrying a liberty bell type thing in the back of our box truck. Really seemed like we stole the thing.
For a good time, I'll also include an action shot of a pneumatic launcher for a company that has a Military contract.
The launcher is made entirely out of aluminum, and sits on the back of an open trailer similar to what you might see a guy who cuts the grass might use. It has 2 extension pieces on the end to provide adequate distance for the projectile to get up to speed (being that it's using nothing but a 100 PSI compressor to launch). This was a neat project.

Movie's getting poor reviews so far and Jim Carrey has refused to promote the movie due its violence
I'm not suggesting that Jim Carrey's protest should influence someone's decision to see this. I was just pointing it out.
Saw this last night. Really enjoyed it. If you liked the first one you will probably like this one. They did cut/change stuff from the book, but that was fine. There's no origin story build up here, the story goes by pretty quickly.
And stay after the credits.

I enjoyed it, though it was definitely weaker than Kick-Ass 1. The ending came about very abruptly and the build-up (Mean Girls high school storyline, police cracking down on masked vigilantes, McLovin's recruitment of an evil army) all seemed rushed. Regardless, I enjoyed it. I think it just needed to be a half hour longer. The movie itself was maybe 1.5 hours long and everyone seemed surprised when the final fight occurred.
