This is episode two in a series.
About the Watts Towers:
The Towers were built using no bolts, rivets, or welded steel, Rodia and his 4’ll 110lb body bent steel bars into desired shapes and wrapped the bars with wire mesh, then covered them with his special blend of concrete. Rodia would work on his Towers late at night and would climb them and carry cement either on his back or using pulley systems. Rodia used the same 9 tools which he later embedded into one of the walls.
