| The students watch on as Henrik shows them how to make tin plates |
Because the students have been working on winding stems and pivot gauges for so long, Henrik decided to teach them something more exciting and new! They made polishing tin plates! You can usually buy them premade, but what's the fun in that?

| Premelted tin bars |
The students melted tin bars until it was fluid then poured it in a mold and waited until it hardened. To make it all pretty, they turned it on a lathe.
