It's a company that is reforging billet stock into rebar. The loose end of the new bar coming down the rolling mill line missed the collar that was supposed to catch it and it hit something to stop the end of the bar while the rolling mill continued to feed that yellow hot string into the air. It's solid, just hot, not molten. They call that a cobble. Explains the phrase "cobbled up". The whole line is shut down until the fellow with a torch can cut it loose. Then a crane lifts that nest out of the way and they start again.
