About Smith Cast Forge – Metals & Minerals in Vadodara
If you walk down the road in Gidc you’ll hear the sounds of Smith Cast Forge before you see us. We are located at Plot No. 704 - 705 and the hammers and furnaces make a lot of noise. It’s a hot and loud environment but that is how forging works. We spend our days dealing with metal and heat and it isn't for everyone. Most of the guys here have calluses on their hands and a few scars from sparks that flew the wrong way. We don't have air conditioning in the main workshop because it wouldn't do much good with the heat we generate. There is a small office in the front where we keep the records but even there you can feel the floor vibrate when the heavy presses are running. We aren't interested in looking polished or fancy. We just focus on making the parts that people ask for. Sometimes a batch doesn't turn out right and we have to melt it down and start over. It’s frustrating but it’s part of the trade. We drink a lot of water and try to stay in the shade during our breaks. It’s a tough way to make a living but we’ve been doing it at these plots for years and we don't know any other way to be. The metal doesn't care about your feelings so you just have to respect the process and keep the fire going.
