This gives the best fire. The only objection to MODERN BLACKSMITHING 53 this tuyer is that where soft coal is used, as is mostlythe case in country shops, it gets hot and clogs up,but with a strong blast and good hard coal it nevergets hot, provided the fire is deep enough. From fiveto eight inches is the right distance from the tuyer tothe face of the fire. In factories this kind of tuyer isused, and I have seen them used for ten years, and. WATER TUYER never found 1hem to clog once. The tuyer was just asgood after ten years use as it was when put in. To make a water tuyer take a pipe ij^ x 12, weld aflange on each end for water space, now weld anotherpipe over this, and bore holes for j{ inch pipes in theend, where the blast goes in. One hole on the loweror bottom side should be for the cold water to go inthrough, and one hole on the upper side for the hotwater to go out through. These pipes to connect witha little water tank for this purpose. The pipes should 54 MODERN BLACKSMITHING be watched so that they will not be allowed to freezeor clog, as an explosion might follow. These tuyersnever clog. I now use one that I have made as abovedescribed. The dealers now have them to sell. Anysmith can get them as they are hard to make by theaverage smith.
