Gormley principally does this reshaping work with metal (12)

I believe the answer is:
goldsmithery
'gormley principally does this reshaping work with metal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'gormley principally does this reshaping' is the wordplay.
'principally' says to take the initial letters.
'reshaping' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'reshaped' mean this).
The initial letter of 'does' is 'd'.
'gormley'+'d'+'this'='gormleydthis'
'gormleydthis' with letters rearranged gives 'GOLDSMITHERY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
