What an amazing craftsman! No gloves or safety equipment, scraps of wood as tools, everything within his reach, makes it all look easy which is a sign of expertise, Johnny Cash + Willie playing on the PA in an Irish flea market, vendors close by who aren't making many sales cuz he gets all the attention, no soldering, pieces of copper and wire put to good use, not a power tool in sight, he chats with everyone while he's doing his multitasking, when it comes to sheet metalwork by hand, Ted Maughan has it down. I'm inspired to make a similar anvil from an old pick axe for my tool set. Yup, it don't get better than this. Thank you mufceire for keeping his story alive. You done good.
I'm a hobby machinist, with thousands of dollars of machinery and tools. It's a treat to watch a true craftsman make something useful using only a few hand tools, his eye, his skill and experience.
What an amazing display ! I'm old enough to remember when we still used tinsmith items around the home - a funnel complete with wire mesh for sifting flour for instance. Other items were milk churns made of metal and ornery tin recepltacles for storing and even drinking milk, or brewing up tea. This was before so many items which were metal yielded to plastics manufacture. This old codger is a remarkable guy in his own right working raw edged metal with his bare hands is something you will not see much of anymore. Hi large hands must have the texture of gardening gloves. What probably will not be appreciated by many is just how skillful he is wielding his [ rusty ] hammers. Any false blow could have wrecked the thing he was working on at many points in the process. I assume that when he turns the flat crescent into a cone he apparently uses a hammer weld to join the ends. I would have expected him to rivet the closure as he uses them later. He miraculously straightens a length of wire with a few blows with one of the hammers. His anvil cum cobbler's last is clearly a tool with a lot of built in experience dictating how it was designed. In measuring the length of wire for the top rim he appears to show that pi = 3, and under the magic of his bashing with hammer and lump of wood in worked. As a general comment, I've heard it said that the old Irish tinsmiths would sometimes make a tin fiddle either for a fiddler or for him to play himself. Apparently they sounded terrible - but hey - whose to know how they could have sounded as the breeze carried their sound on the soft Irish air.
@@IrishEagIe no bc hes too old now he stopped it 3 years ago bc he had 2 strokes and hip surgery but hes better now he want to still do it but he cant bc hes too old:(
He is an amazing person and a true ambassador for the travelling community! I always enjoy going to the various shows and vintage days throughout the Summer months and I particularly enjoy meeting and watching this man do what he does best!
I didn't think I would watch the whole thing, but I did. Craftsman like that are a dying breed. You can't get the kids now to do anything like that, or appreciate how it was done. Maybe a few, mostly none.
Great to watch a true craftsman at work. The years of experience are obvious, especially when putting the rivets through 'blind' from the inside of the pail - they all went in the right place, first time. Skills like this are, sadly, only going to be remembered through video before long. Thanks for uploading it.
A master. And those hands. What they’ve done and seen and built. My first thought was how many time he had cut them while learning this skill. I’d imagine they’re as tough as hide now. A real pleasure to watch. Thank you.
What a shame it is that we've become so consumer orientated. Sure, it's quicker and more convenient to buy and plastic or metal bucket, but we don't give a thought to the manufacturing process to make them. To see this man going about his craft, gives one a true perspective and evokes thoughts of Ted Maughan as an apprentice and of the man who taught him in a bygone era.
know what you mean cant see todays youngster taking on this trade no hand held computers or ipads involved they don't want to go there sadly 6 yr apprentiship as a toolmaker 68yrs old now and retired loved every minute at my carear
Enjoyed every minute of this craftsman. What an artist! Would have loved to heard /understood his tales he was telling! Thank you to whoever videoed this!
It was myself that recorded this video. You would definitely have enjoyed being there and listening to his rambling. I'm forever grateful that I witnessed him plying his trade and even more so that I managed to capture it on tape.
I'm in skilled trades and that is an art quickly deminishing. Ive worked in metal and with tools my whole life .that was amaizing. I see more and more of these old men doing works of art . and wood love to share a pint with them and hear their stories.
Dia dhuit. I have a lovely tea kettle this gentleman made for me a long time ago whilst visiting family back in Eire. It's on me boat and I use it every day. It will no doubt last my lifetime.
Thanks for uploading! These people actually have skills to make things...really nice watching how a genuine worker hand-crafts things versus modern machines/presses that someone just shoves a piece of metal into them, pushes a button, and done. Before long the industries won't have any laborers who actually make the products but will just be all robots and machines with only a skeleton crew to do maintenance on them...heck, already have that in many factories today
My grandfather was a tin knocker, meaning he built metal duct work, starting in 1923. Notice the beefy hands, compared to the rest of his arms/frame, on Ted....a sign of someone that uses snips and a hammer all day long, just like my grandfather.
And then along came the machinery and destroyed it all. There aren't many truly skilled craftsman such as this guy and your grandfather out there nowadays. It's an awful shame!
Fourty years working with copper, stainless, bare tin and galvanized steel. From copper architectural pieces to ductwork. People always ask me about my grip strength. 😉
This kind of skills should be saved by the government culture department. After that gentleman passed way this skills will be lost for ever, and it's pity.
In Cyprus there is something like that. Unfortunately they don't have any home page, just check this site it may help to understand.... www.hellenicaworld.com/Cyprus/Art/en/CyprusHandicrafts.html
Yes, and it was funny that his patter kept interfering with his concentration, and he had to make that measurement several times. While watching, I was saying "No, go back, two more diameters!"
A man and his trade ... Awesome The look on the peoples faces who have no clue......priceless Its a shame when people see a man working like that they have no idea thats how things were done before machines.
Nice documentation of a dying tradition and a great character to boot, thanks for showing us the process from start to finish. I didn't mind that there were no close ups I got the gist, we're not all Spielbergs are we! 👍
You lose the big picture in the close-ups. The way this was filmed you can see what he's hitting and how hard (does his shoulder swing or from the wrist) you can see the angle he's holding it, hitting it and where on his anvil he's striking... if you've ever built anything with your hands, all this information tells you more than a close-up ever could! Great video!
Awesome hot (clinker) coal bucket. Not one drop of lead solder and won’t leak a drop even if you used it for a goat Milker bucket. Dar’s a man dat joost luvs hims clarft.
a good honest hard working traveller right there....ill be he is disgusted by how a lot of the new generations are nowadays, thieves cheats liars and conmen
one day this gentlemen will be gone and whit him a great skill that serve well lots of people I hope humanity never have to start all over from scratch lots of this craftmen will not be there to help out
Ah, yet was he there to make a buck or to teach, perhaps entertain and amuse. He was nattering faster than working guaranteed but he was doing what he went there to do I believe. Losing all the background babble and with ears more accustomed to his brogue we all may have been more engaged. He was likely a retired tinker. Mike
rats arsed what is a fern bar liberal? Do u find it necessary to drag politics into everything? I guess that’s what knuckle daggers do. Have a nice day mouth breather.
Fern bar was an American slang term for an upscale or preppy (or yuppie) bar or tavern catering to singles, usually decorated with ferns or other greenery, as well as such decor as fake Tiffany lamps. The phrase came into common use in the late 1970s or early 1980s. (Wikipedia)
I got to live in Norway 1967 at 15. I went to blikenslagger trade school. We learned to make our own lead solder and flux. Today no in 1968 I could hardly find the tools they had in trade school.
It was out of my control unfortunately. I shot this with a very basic 3mp camera. I just happened upon it and was extremely lucky to have captured the footage that I did. He's incredibly talented!
My father born in co Monaghan told me about the great tinsmiths now I can tell him Iv'e seen it for myself. Ted is a really talented man and a real charachter :)
Ive learned something straight off. People get pissed when the duct guys start banging Pittsburg joints together with a duct hammer. Wood is much easier to listen to. When you beat some 50 or 60" duct together, its a lot of banging.
Bing bing bong bong so true. Many people have skills but dont quite know the nuances of what the hands should do. By watching *close up* these "secrets" reveal themselves. Its a good thing this was recorded.... for people that have the aptitude to follow. But you're right. Close up of a skilled artisans hands .. *priceless* Pity the photographer never thought just a fraction further.
Whahaha just do it. every one is born whit oll the scills of ambacht♡♧♡ when they use it , it will develop ♡♧♡ The beauty of it is that this soul still operates whit oll the opsurvers☆
Lol film on runs at 30 frames a second you'd still miss it due to the blur!... But yes each finger holds and manipulates the piece a slightly different way to make it dance across his palms!
He should put a bucket out for people to drop coins into - it'd buy him a few cold beers after all this effort. I hope he's teaching some young people his skills..
ginge m Notwithstanding this fellow obvious talent and skill at what he is doing, I thought the same thing!!! Was just waiting for him to break out into Robin’s Scotsman gig on the invention of golf or hear him impersonate Popeye. Cheers! Whipple
This was recorded during an annual agricultural show, at which a local radio station was present doing mobile broadcast. The music you refer to was just pat of their broadcasting schedule that they happened to be send out over a tannoy system.
And dont forget that American country music has lots of roots in Folk and a lot of that presumably came over with Irish migrants. So it is juat going round and round. The Irish country people obviously find that the imported newer music chimes with them.
Hello, I know this is an eight years old video, but still, I was wondering a couple of things. Is this man still alive? If so, where can I find him? And, Does he take any apprentice? (have feet, will travel...) Thank you
I watch this video every so often. It's great to see a true craftsman at work.
I learnt how to be a tinsmith/coppersmith in 1960. Returning to it now 60 years on . Ted is an inspiration

Thank you sir for recording and sharing this man's unique and masterful skills, a treasure for future generations.
You know you're watching a master craftsman when he makes it look simple and easy.
Fantastic, not just the great skill but his banter and the slice of life at a fair. 👍
I have never seen a skilled tin worker at his craft. It was truly fascinating. Thanks!
You're more than welcome. I could watch him all day long!
me too, but only if you have zoomed in his work a little the video would have been much better to enjoy..but thanks anyways..
Hes my grandad
@@elainemaughan3594 Elaine, does he still smith?
@@IrishEagIe no bc hes too old now he stopped it 3 years ago bc he had 2 strokes and hip surgery but hes better now he want to still do it but he cant bc hes too old:(

kenbtheman I agree! Some teens now dont know how to cut a stake.. I kid u not.
You would be suprised, still a few sheet metal workshops out there and prestige companies will always need metal finishers

HE JUST DIED ON 22/2/2022. R.I.P.
It was filmed at the 2 years ago at The Claremorris Agricultural Show in Co. Mayo. As far as I know, Ted is from just out the road near Ballyhaunis.
Great to watch.. only wish I could hear his stories... old timers are a pleasure to listen to as well. Thank you for the video.
I'm in skilled trades and that is an art quickly deminishing. Ive worked in metal and with tools my whole life .that was amaizing. I see more and more of these old men doing works of art . and wood love to share a pint with them and hear their stories.
Absolute pleasure to watch. Better workmanship than today’s machinery can churn out and Ted Maughan’s will most probably last a lot longer too.
Can you imagine growing up around that man?The stories are as interesting as the tinwork!
Dia dhuit. I have a lovely tea kettle this gentleman made for me a long time ago whilst visiting family back in Eire. It's on me boat and I use it every day. It will no doubt last my lifetime.
That mans hands are like catchers mitts. A testament to a life of hard work that can’t be copied.

The skill in the old guys hands but can you imagine the strength and power that’s in them as well.

Yes please thank you yes please
Another trade going the way of a machine. Enjoyed every second watching a master tradesman at work, not many of these guys left.
Great work and skills. (and note that Pi= 3 plus half thumb at 6:50)
Yes I noticed that too! He measured the diameter to get the circumference!
Yes, and it was funny that his patter kept interfering with his concentration, and he had to make that measurement several times. While watching, I was saying "No, go back, two more diameters!"

Нет слов. Скупые, отточеные движения мастера восхищают. Руки трудовые. Позитив. Респект.

same here!!!!!
There is a video floating around of a Cooper that is the same way.
Ditto.
ME TOO
Not an electric tool in sight. A true craftsman. Nice one Ted.
a good honest hard working traveller right there....ill be he is disgusted by how a lot of the new generations are nowadays, thieves cheats liars and conmen
Tinkers were traveling around and selling at lots of markets across Ireland 100 years ago.
I am a silversmith and have dabbled in tinsmithing. A very satisfying craft tinsmithing is and not expensive to get into.
.
my beloved unclenl ted gone but not forgotten
amazing craftsman...would hope his skill continues.....
one day this gentlemen will be gone and whit him a great skill that serve well lots of people I hope humanity never have to start all over from scratch lots of this craftmen will not be there to help out
sadly true - in UK we have listed buildings - here is a bloke and is skills that should be listed and preserved forever
My Dad was a tinsmith, sheet metal worker, here in the States. He could work magic like that.
It's a shame we value a bachelor's degree in finger painting more than tradesmen skills.

Watch this video, the man does really good work!
Thanks for the video set!
I got to live in Norway 1967 at 15. I went to blikenslagger trade school. We learned to make our own lead solder
and flux. Today no in 1968 I could hardly find the tools they had in trade school.
Cut too early! Why not let the man show his various containers, he's justifiably proud of them.
It was out of my control unfortunately. I shot this with a very basic 3mp camera. I just happened upon it and was extremely lucky to have captured the footage that I did. He's incredibly talented!
Absolutely riveting throughout. Amazing.
I find it funny that they are playing country music from the US. I had expected local folk music. Nice to have videos of these crafts.
I almost cried when I heard Mary Chapin Carpenter
It’s Johnny Cash “One Piece At A Time” then Louisiana zydeco music ! Fantastic !
Probably do it for the tourists mainly, they are far more comforted by familiar stuff.
and where do you think country music came from, the fiddles and the dancin, yankee doodle bollicks ya
One of the old great tinkers of Ireland 👌👍👏
he for sure is a showman and has the gift of the gab.
Amazing Talent and Work!!
a true gentleman who helps out everyone in the community Terry maughan Ballyhaunis Co Mayo
Wish I had his hands to create useful things from copper. Is he still with us
I wanna see how he did the stretch out for that bucket
My father born in co Monaghan told me about the great tinsmiths now I can tell him Iv'e seen it for myself. Ted is a really talented man and a real charachter :)
Absolute skill, sad to loose all these skills.
a joy to watch. thanks Ted.
Painstaking, labor intense...great skilled craftsman...enjoyable video...
I wonder if Ted is using old water cylinders as his material, some are quite green inside. Very sensible.
Hey! A fellow lefty. My respect for him is even greater than before.
Banchoking brilliant
I'm a lefty too. Do you think it makes a great difference?
absolute gentleman great pair of hands and good craic
I'd almost give up body parts to serve an apprenticeship under a fellow of this skill!
Does anyone know if Mr. Maughan sell his tinware online?
I couldn’t understand a word he said, but he eyeballed the value of pie.
That is very interesting. Thanks for the video. Much easier than blacksmithing but still takes much skill. Would love to buy one of those buckets.
I've kicked myself ever since for not buying that bucket from him!
This is what comes of embracing the positive in life! :)
This craftsman should teach young people so that his knowledge is not lost.
Ive learned something straight off. People get pissed when the duct guys start banging Pittsburg joints together with a duct hammer. Wood is much easier to listen to. When you beat some 50 or 60" duct together, its a lot of banging.
He's good because he's left handed, we will take over the world someday.
We already have --- but keep it quiet nobody has noticed!
I wish the announcer would shut up so I could hear his stories. An absolute hoot and a half he is!
Where was this filimed. Do you know where this man is now. i would love to meet him
Does this gentleman have a web site that he sells his products on???.
This genius would not know what a computer was . V
