The Die Hanger

Spike, the die hanger is sawing the knobby end off a length of seamless copper tube that has just emerged from an extruder that has been in use since the early 1940s. It is the last of it's kind, the last large scale, industrial extruder in use in the U.S..

I asked permission to shoot and it was granted, and I have obtained releases from people who appear in my images. I have been shooting in the factories for the past year-and-a-half.
