Dirty Jobs Recap: Bell Maker
Bell Maker. Mike heads to the McShane Bell Foundry, founded in 1856. While making bells may not seem like a dirty job (think about those white gloves handling shiny bells around the holidays), the raw materials are most definitely dirty.

To be fair, it isn't a lot of poo, but it's the thought that counts. That's just the start, however.
