method of forming shovel-blanks which consists in cutting out blanks of substantially identical form and each of a thickness substantially equal to half of the finished shovel-blade, then welding the tangs to the blanks, then securing said blanks together in pairs, their welded sides lying in contact with a layer of flux between the parts to be welded together and a layer of material adapted to prevent welding interposed between the plates where the handle-socket is to be formed, and then welding the blades of the two blanks together without material reduction in the thickness of the blanks.” https://www.elfrethsalley.org/blog/2020/7/28/a-commentary-on-episode-3-of-the-alley-cast monthly 0.5 2020-12-31

Other census data included profession or occupation, whether the house was a dwelling or shop, and the number of free white men and women, and the number of enslaved people living in the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576dc56d03596ece7829662e/1593627511470-VOKCSCV3COYVMY6C7DPK/Ep+2+Promo+1+Cropped.jpg Podcast - Episode 2: Spinsters, Runaway Wives, and Widows In this cropped version of image above, you can see that Elizabeth Chandler, Sarah "Mertoon" and Barbary Dominick, are three of the single women who lived on the Alley in 1790. Their occupations are all listed as 'spinster', a term for an unmarried woman, but they would have had to work to sustain themselves. Note that Sarah's name is spelled Mertoon here, as opposed to Milton or Melton, which we see in other records. Variant spellings were common at the time, but her continued residence at #24 makes it easier to determine that Mertoon and Melton were the same woman. https://www.elfrethsalley.org/podcast/2020/6/23/episode-1-the-dressmakers monthly 0.5 2020-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576dc56d03596ece7829662e/1592937949932-LQWBYMJGY6P01FL5PU4N/Elf3_Sewing.jpg Podcast - Episode 1: The Dressmakers Several buttons lie on a piece of blue fabric, accompanied by a thimble, pincushion, an awl, small pair of scissors, a thread holder, and pair of spectacles. These are some of the tools and materials that Mary Smith, Sarah Melton, and Elizabeth Carr would have used to put the finishing touches on the mantuas they made.
