Williamsburg Touchmark
At Colonial Williamsburg a touchmark is not just a touchmark. Exacting reproductions are made here in genuine wrought iron. After a few years of rust you would not be able to distinguish the reproductions from genuine 18th Century work. Its a good idea to mark your work but you should ALWAYS mark reproduction work produced in wrought iron. |

Production Work is what the typical 18th Century shop was about.
Workers made everything here and most of the times in quantity.
Its the repetition of making a hundred of this and a hundred of that that makes your work smooth clean and crisp. Every one of those skewers is a lesson in becomeing efficient. When learning to forge if you start small and make a quantity of the same item (you can never make enough hooks) you get the practice that makes the metal more cooperative and move where you want it. |
