tinner
Works with tin
A tinner is someone who works with tin—either mining it, smelting it, or making and repairing items from tin or tinplate.
The term once commonly described itinerant craftsmen who mended pots and pans: The tinner came through town twice a year.
In some regions, tinner refers specifically to a tin miner.
