Do they finish that piece on a giant lathe or is it done?
Reminds me of when I went on a tour of a railroad workshop in
Pennsylvania once. The "tires" on a locomotive are about that
diameter.....just not as meaty. They heated the whole tire and hammered
it off the wheel, then they spun the tire on a really big lathe to bring
it back to proper roundness. Heat and hammer to get it back on the
wheel.

Yeah, seen it. But worth watching again. Amazing at the precision
they attain from essentially medieval devices.

It ends fine. Unless you decide that you can hit those notes, in
which case it ends with cranial matter splattered all over the walls
and ceiling.
