Excellent craftsmanship. It is a shame that tinware has been almost entirely forgotten in place of glass and ceramic. It is nice to see someone that keeps the craft alive.

[@deucedeuce1572]

Agreed. I wonder if tin might be toxic like aluminum though. They used to make pots, pans and containers out of lead too. I believe it was the Romans that made a type of wine out of grapes in led pots (for the sweet flavor of the lead). I never would have thought metals would have a flavor, but apparently lead tastes sweet.

[@Eralen00]

@@deucedeuce1572 I can't find a definite answer. Tin itself appears to be non-toxic but can form some undesirable effects if it interacts with acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus. Also when tin is mined, its very common to find lead and other similar metals among the ore, so it may have traces of lead unless its especially refined. Food-grade glass and ceramic on the other hand are basically completely chemically inert

Tin is Expensive. nuff said.

[@anonymouswhite7957]

@@Eralen00 Tin is non-toxic in low amounts (like drinking from that cup, cooking non acidic food, inhaling some of the dust, etc), they usually enter and leave the body quickly. High amounts in a small amount of time can give you tin poisoning, symptoms: stomachache, nausea, kidney & liver problems, anemia, etc. Organotin (tin with hydrocarbon substitute) on the other hand is mostly highly toxic, on par with hydrogen cyanide. They are usually applied to various hydrocarbon or silicone product as catalyst, stabilizer, vulcanizer, etc. Plastics like PVC owe it’s longevity to organotins. Just wanna add some more information from what i can gather ^^

Nice workshop! He used a water torch, that table mounted shear, that very large sheet rolling mill, an oxy-fuel torch, many hammers and stakes/ anvils, at least one casting mold, miscellaneous less expensive items, and doubtless more that he didn’t show on this project. He has some nice counter space and his sort of wood ‘stump’ for the stakes and anvils. Then he has to have materials, chemicals and other expendable supplies. Laying out a jewelry fab/ sheet forging and forming workshop like this runs to money really fast in the US and would even cost more in Japan where he is and where taxes are much higher. It is a nice shop!

[@Xontor23]

I'm curious if you know what kind of metal he is using? Seems very soft

[@DennisHicks78749]

@@Xontor23 yes, it is tin. It has a very low melting point, is soft and easy to work, holds a bright finish is non-toxic. So it has some great qualities and used to be very popular for household utensils made by a tinker or tinsmith. It’s characteristics make it a good metal for metal working hobbyists to begin with, though it is not super cheap. A couple of downsides are that it is easy to dent and scratch, and you could accidentally melt it if you exposed it to too hot of a fire. It melts at a lower temp than lead! (450F/ 232C for tin vs 621F/ 328C for lead).

I have read that archeologists think it was a shortage of tin that ushered in the iron age. Since tin was required to make bronze, when it became difficult to import the tin needed to make the bronze, craftsmen turned to iron which is readily available. If I recall correctly it is thought they already knew how to refine and work iron, but bronze was preferable because of how much iron rusts. Of course these are hypotheses based on archeological finds.

Tin looks a lot more forgiving than most metals, think a soldering iron would work instead of that small little torch you have? If so then I won’t have to buy a new tool. And maybe does aluminum work similarly to tin? Because then I won’t even have to go buy tin I can just recycle cans

[@LordOfSilense]

Aluminum doesn't work like tin. You can't really fusion weld it like he's doing with the torch since it reacts with oxygen and forms a clump of slag.

[@zyanidwarfare5634]

@@LordOfSilense ok, I’m assuming I can still cast aluminum though at that point, like if I make a cup shaped mold then I pour and remove and then while it’s warm I can give it the hammered look and shape it a bit maybe. It would probably be good practice it’s why I’m wanting to work tin too

[@DennisHicks78749]

It is different forging tin than forging silver because tin is softer and will melt on a hot plate as he does, unlike silver with it’s much higher melting point. Also, silver requires regular annealing when forging, and if it is sterling it is prone to firescale requiring extensive polishing to remove. Pure tin as he is using does not have firescale, so when he is done planishing, and using textured hammers he does not have to polish it.
