The two guys on the left look like they spend their time in the bowling alley or the curling rink than pounding gold! Does anyone know how long it takes to flatten the 1" gold squares out to the 3" leafs (leaves)?

Good Video. This is obviously the finishing part of the process.

Mike, Urban told me one time but you would have to ask him because I don't remember.
