G George Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hello to all; I picked up this Tuyere and it has no markings, was wondering what make, what size forge to build around it, or if I should use it at all. It is Big, and the local Mennonite Fellow who has a machine shop (he is 85 yrs old) has never seen one like it. The ash dump cast was broken and I had it welded by the aforementioned Mennonite fellow. Any help, comments are most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Bellows fire pot, goes in a flat bottomed forge, mounted on the flat, the idea is that clinker will slide down out of the working area, so fewer cleanouts needed. Best with a shallow bowl built around it. Size?---yes definitely! (What size do you want/need?) You can find them for sale in the Sears Roebuck Catalogs from the early 1900's. Do you have/want to build a double lunged bellows to use with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G George Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I was going to use a hand crank blower. I was thinking of a 3' x 3' plate steel with a firebrick floor, and cast refractory on that. Or Sell it. G George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
