Recorded at Walsall Lock and Cart Gear Ltd., one of the earliest worker's
co-operative firms, this production follows Tom Evans, the last hame maker in Britain,
making a pair of "show hames".
Hames are a vital part of a horse's harness, transferring the load from
the traces to the collar. |
 |
To make these intricately curved pieces of brass from a flat sheet is a
fascinating demonstration of the metal working skills that made the Midlands
famous as the Workshop of the World.
