An entertaining and unusual film, it tells the story of the Power family’s metal foundry in New Ross, Co. Wexford. We follow the process of sand casting a replica of a nineteenth-century garden seat, and we see the weekly cycle of hand-digging marl clay to line the foundry’s furnace, the buying in and breaking up of scrap metal for smelting, followed by the high-risk business of pouring the molten metal, over-seen by Mrs. May Power. The documentary is accompanied by music played by the local youth band. Made in 1989. Commentary- Diarmuid Ó Muirithe; Music- New Ross Silver Band; Conductor Michael Fottrell; *Certificate of Merit from the Industrial Film Festival in the USA; Running time - 26 minutes
