Here are 4 photos of items made in the Metalwork Workshop during the 60's, by Dave Clarke:
	A Copper Serviette Ring - made in the 1st or 2nd year (1961/62) in the Metalwork Workshop under direction of Mr. (Mike) Ryan. The copper strip used to make the ring was first formed into a precise hexagonal shape by using the folding bars then brazed in the forge at the seam. The outer surface was then hammered with a planishing hammer to give it the beaten texture.
A Steel Staple - made circa 1963 in the Metalwork Workshop of Mr. (Bert) Watson. The circular steel bar used to make the staple was first heated in the forge and beaten to produce the pointed ends. It was then heated again and beaten into the 'U' shape to create pins of equal length. Finally, the points were 'case hardened' by heating again, dipping into carbon and plunging immediately into cold water.
	A Hook - made circa 1963 in the Metalwork Workshop of Mr. (Bert) Watson. The circular steel bar used to make the hook had to be heated, flattened at one end drilled and countersunk to produce the plate for the screw holes. The bar was then heated again and beaten into the required hook shape and given a smooth rounded end.
A Pastry Cutter: made circa 1962 (1st or 2nd year). Made from 2 parts, the circular cutter part began as flat piece of tin plate, it was cut and filed to shape, given a 'safe edge' by turning one edge back on itself. It was then bent round a circular former and soldered together. The handle was fashioned similarly except it was given 2 safe edges. Finally, the handle was soldered onto the base. This item has no rust and is still in use (2009) by Dave's wife to make shortbread biscuits!
