"Panting with a Hammer"

I think this video is titled "panting with a hammer" because the man has been making pots with sliver for most of his life. He uses a hammer to shape the pot or blow out, so it would make it look the best as can be. The word panting means using a hammer as a paint brush.(that's what I think).
I heard in the video that in the early days people were still working with sliver smiths then it all stopped and this man in the video brought it up again.

Tool Shed

In the tool shed at stop 8 the tool i recognized is there's a lot of pliers in there. There's a big tool reddish object with two round tan holes in it I read that it was an important part of the blacksmith's forge, I think it was used to force air into the forge to make its fire hotter, and the blacksmith used the forge to heat and then sharpen drill bits.In stop 12 it was powered by water using a lot of belts. I wouldn't want to be a miner because you will have to get all dirty and i;m not a dirty person. So that wouldn't want to be a miner.

The Lunch Room; Change Room

In stop 2 a mine historian holds double jack hammer (sledge)hammer weighed about eight pounds!! there is a single jack hammer and it weighed about four pounds! a miner worked by him self with a single jack hammer but, in both cases the were both drilling holes.
the purpose of having a Change Room is everyday worker would come and hang their clothes on pegs and change into their mining clothes, after they would change from their wet mining clothes .

Silver Teapots

These teapots are similar because their all teapots, they all have a funnel, they are all made out of silver mostly ever thing on the pots are the same.

These teapots are different because the texture, design, handles, how small and big the shapes are way different than the others. I wonder if the one in the upper right corner has three funnels?

The patterns I see are... no the bottom photo there's a big feather stick and three men standing behind and it repeats. on the top photo each woman is pting their hand around the person standing next to them.
