SILVER RETIREMENT

Amesbury - Bob Lapham hoists his five books forging hammer on his shoulder and throws it forward, hitting a bar of sterling silver, rectangular on an anvil.

At least begins as sterling silver rectangular.

With each strike, sterling silver bar is slowly transformed into what is beginning to look like a spoon. It will take a little longer, about 40 minutes, and hundreds more slaps until the spoon is complete.

Since he was 18 years, Lapham has consistently hit his hammer on his anvil with his polished surface to create an array of utensils, hollow and even jewelry can be found in homes across the country.

But today is the last Lapham when he retired after 48 years at Old Newbury artisans.

"I do not consider myself an artist but a craftsman," said Lapham, who turns 66 on Sunday.

The work of Lapham and his colleague, Geoffrey T. Blake is the same kind of work done by Paul Revere.
