Hand Forging Surgical Instruments - Pete Goss (2006) 

Pete Goss continues to work at his forge down at Kelham Island Museum. This film shows him practically demonstrating his skill as a hand forger to Ken Hawley whose enthusiasm for explaining the processes involved shines through. Pete's particular specialism is hand forging precision surgical instruments.
The film adds to a series filmed in the mid-1960s which Ken Hawley inspired. Ken had a continuing concern that he was witnessing the disappearance of a wide range of craft skills on which Sheffield's reputation had been built over the two previous centuries.
