There’s something incredibly satisfying about this project under construction at a forge

Poke Staff. Updated October 27th, 2022

We’re not sure what it is about this video of a project under construction at a forge that’s had people mesmerised, but they’ve been sitting through the two minutes and 40 seconds and commenting in droves.

See how long it takes you to work out what they’re making.

Is there an ASMR element to it? Perhaps it’s just good to see a job well done.

In case you still weren’t sure, it’s a demonstration of a smith making a wheel for a train, which are machine made for precision these days.

This is what TikTok users had to say about it.

The forbidden wheel of cheese.

Quite a few people, including @killjoy, said something like this.

I have absolutely no idea what’s happening in this video but i’ve watched it 3 times because it scratches an itch in my brain.

But our favourite hot take came from Jen Hamilton‘s son.

“Is that how they make cheezits?”
