    I just watched this video about 18th century gilt bronze making and thought I'd share it.

    Thanks for sharing this. I had some idea this process was labour intensive but this has made me realise I didn't have much of a clue.
    I would imagine burning off the mercury was pretty hazardous to your health, no extractors then.
