Whitesmith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A whitesmith is a person who works with "white" or light-colored metals such as tin and pewter. While blacksmiths work mostly with hot metal, whitesmiths do the majority of their work on cold metal (although they might use a forge to shape their raw materials).

The term is also applied to metalworkers who do only finishing work - such as filing or polishing - on iron and other "black" metals.
