※ This video is part of the September 12, 2018 broadcast of <Extreme Job - Vessels with Soul, Stoneware and Woodware>. In order to make a stone into a vessel, you must first find a good raw stone. Gopdol Mine in Hamyang, Gyeongsangnam-do. The workers search the rocky mountain in search of the best raw stone, then install dynamite at the target location and blast it to extract the raw stone. The raw stone obtained in this way weighs a whopping 4~5 tons, so even the first processing is not easy. What makes the workers suffer the most is the enormous noise that inevitably occurs during the process. Since they work with earplugs, even interviews are not easy. The stones that have gone through the difficult polishing process are sent to the factory for the second processing. A stoneware factory that melts aluminum and iron to increase the strength of the stoneware. The workers face the intense heat of the smelting furnace reaching 750℃ and produce about 1,000 stoneware a day. We follow the stoneware manufacturing process that requires the sweat and effort of countless people until one bowl is completed. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Bowls with Soul, Stoneware and Woodenware ✔ Broadcast date: 2018.09.12
