Colonial Life

Dear Journal,

Today,my silversmith job was so fun!The time you have to be there by is 8:00 A.M.After I get there,I have to clock in and go straight to my first work station,which is weighing the metal in front of the customers so they will trust me.The next thing I have to go to is I have to pour melted silver into a new mold called an ingot.After I am ready to make a piece,I melt the ingot and pound it into sheets.After that,I shape it using hammers and tongs.Next,I have to polish it.Afterwards,I usually engrave my initials or sometimes engrave the customers name on it.It took years of practice but I’ve finally got it!
