The making of Gold Leaf

[Phil Steffen]

Just watched this short video from 1959 on how gold leaf is made. We all know it is pounded with a hammer, but a lot more goes into making gold leaf then that. Worth a look if you haven't seen it. I hope posting a link is okay.

When you can gild like this then you pass the test

Wasn't a very diverse crowd back then.

I think after a year working in that shop everyone's going to be deaf. What did you say something
