His inventory was not anything that would indicate that. It was farming things. He could have working with the wood and keeping the fires going...I really don't know...only know that he was there for a certain amt of time. So I wouldn't necessarily assume he migrated to other glass factories if he had a trade that he could use elsewhere.
