Colonial Silversmith

Today at the silver workshop.I had to make a silver cup.First I weighed it.A lot of the stuff I weigh is (VERY) heavy.I pour the smelted iron into a mold called an ingot.That makes it good for storage.Next I had to hammer it,Into its
shape.My hammers have to be in tip top shape.Then was polishing,polishing is probably the hardest part.Finally I have to strike a mark.For the symbol or the initials.My job is hard work,it takes all of that just to make one small cup.I hope my job is just temporary.
