I love the old implements hanging around. I wonder if this is how Paul Revere's (Boston M.A.) shop would have looked? Excellent capture!!!

I bet his shop would of looked something like this. In another room they showed how they made things and all the steps they go tru and I think had spoons for sale. Was nice there as they had all the old shops open you could go to also. Lots of great old homes also but people still live in them so you can't go inside to see them.

wonderful detail in this & interesting trade!! :]

Yes it is cynlee.

Very interesting work place,i look all around the room,full of all kind of tools that i don't know what they are used for except maybe for a ,hamer /saw/and the great looking old vice !Impressive photograph! Thanks for sharing!Have a great day!

They had to hammer all the silver out so your see the things I hammer with and on to shape cups, bowls etc. Then the smaller tools for shaping jewelry and so on and small tool to add textures and designs. See that big flat block of silver there. it is about a 1/2 thick. That is what they had in another room where they show how they cut from it for a spoon. Then they had I think 4 spoons with 3 of them showing how the hammer on them to shape them and the 4th spoon being the finish one. Said they make one a day still to show people how it was done. Nice town to see if you ever have the time but there is lots to see so it can take a couple days to see every thing they do there. www.colonialwilliamsburg.com Had a great lunch there at the Kings Arms Tavern too.

Cool photo. Sturbridge village in Ma. is also another cool place to visit and has a "living" village... sort of. Fascinating stuff!

What makes Old Colonial Williamburg something is... [QUOTE]Colonial Williamsburg, in Williamsburg, Virginia, is the worlds largest living history museumthe restored 18th-century capital city of Britains largest, wealthiest, and most populous outpost of empire in the New World. Here we interpret the origins of the idea of America, conceived decades before the American Revolution. The Colonial Williamsburg story, Becoming Americans, tells how diverse peoples, having different and sometimes conflicting ambitions, evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality. Americans cherish these values as a birthright, even when their promise remains unfulfilled. In Colonial Williamsburgs 301-acre Historic Area stand hundreds of restored, reconstructed, and historically furnished buildings. Costumed interpreters tell the stories of the men and women of the 18th-century cityblack, white, and native American, slave, indentured, and freeand the challenges they faced. In this historic place, we help the future learn from the past. [/QUOTE] http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/foundation/mission.cfm I never been to Ma. but know there would be lots to see there in the state. Lots of history back east to see and I did see some when I was a kid but I do not remember where we was at.
