18th-Century Foundry at Colonial Williamsburg

While blacksmiths and silversmiths hammer metal into shape, founders melt it and pour it into molds. Apprentice Founder Drew Godzik explains how 18th-century founders made spoons, buckles, candlesticks and more.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 educational institution and the largest U.S. history museum in the world.
