The video shows a close-up of a glowing hot piece of metal being held by a pair of tongs. The metal is being heated in a furnace, and smoke can be seen rising from it. The metal is then placed on an anvil, and a person begins to hammer it with a tool. The hammering is done with precision and care, and the metal gradually takes shape. The video captures the transformation of the metal from a glowing, malleable state to a solid, shaped object.
