I’ve been looking at ways to cut cycle times on a forging line without losing the detail that makes a piece stand out—what’s your view on bringing a bit of tech into the workshop while keeping the hands‑on feel?

I reckon a little tech can help if it doesn't replace the hammer's rhythm. Sensors to monitor heat, a timer for each press, that's useful, but don't let software dictate the flow; the artisan's feel still matters. Keep the basics, add a dial, not a screen.

Exactly. Set up the sensors and timers so the data just informs you, not replaces you. Keep the manual control in the artisan’s hands; the tech is a tool, not a boss. That way you get the precision you need and still respect the craft’s rhythm.
