Looks like the video was made in India or Pakistan.

Making C-Band Dishes

Pretty amazing what they can do with so little. The guy doing the powder coating with just a rag across his mouth is bucking for an early demise though. Obviously designed for their neck of the woods with the elevation restrictions on the mount and beyond cheap but it works gor them.

I can't believe that the guy cutting metal is not wearing gloves. Also agree on the painting setup--primitive does not even begin to describe it. We are lucky in our part of the world to have some safety regulations (when enforced) to protect workers.

I was thinking that too as he was scribing the circles on coil metal. That metal wasn't very thick and using the shears without gloves is begging for lacerations. And that work environment is less than sterile. And then the receiver that the older guy was using to setup and test the dish…I've thrown away receivers that looked better than that.

We're pretty spoiled I guess!

Menawhile in the USA where precision machined parabolic masters are used....

But.....you do have to give the other guys credit. So eager to go to work they are still in their pj's and bedroom slippers.
And thrifty too. Who needs a cleaning crew when it's just going to get filthy again. Right?
Who ever lost that elusive 10mm socket working a foot off the dirt? We don't need no stinkin' work benches.

Many moons ago I worked for a company that had two divisions. One side made factory automation systems. I designed, built and programmed all the control systems. The other side made aluminum spheres constructed to very precise measurements. These spheres are dropped out of aircraft to calibrate radar systems. The military and FAA bought thousands of them. The spinning process was similar to what's in the video ubove.

I looked them up today and they are still in business.
