@globalmuseum So the press that makes the silverplate boiling hot by flattening is not heavy machinery.... the laith isn't either... and the acytelene is gathered from natural sources i guess...
And raw silver is often found in that purity...
This is great craftsmanship, but why do we need a pseudo-traditional story??
Beautiful. And if you keep beating, thousands of times, it eventually becomes mirror smooth, which is how the Pharaoahs' gold sarcophagi were shaped.
@globalmuseum Machinery looks heavy to me.
Am I the only one that hears "Mary Had a Little Lamb" being hammered out at 45 seconds? 🌸
