A short film about a great craftsman. I like this one because the project documented here is so unusual. The almost forgotten art of the tinsmith.
And a longer one that is really worth watching. It’s a treat to see someone who knows his business so well. A dying breed of traditional artisan.
“This is a video of County Mayo native Ted Maughan demonstrating his immense skills as a Tinsmith. Ted is a member of the travelling community and has kept this great craft alive for many years. His work is a credit to him and this is only a small example of the quality work that Ted is able to carry out.”
We just don’t value the artisan or craftsman the way we one did. The Industrial Revolutions have wrecked havoc in our culture.
Instead of this:
We opt for outsourcing, mechanizing, and abstracting our purchase. These days, for now, are lost in the Industrial world.
Preindustrial Craftsmanship 
Thanks for posting this George. Bittersweet, seeing what may well be the last of their lines of trade.
