A workshop of convenient size for four tinmen is shown by the accompanying diagram. The benches B, made of beech-wood, should be firmly built, and secured to the floor by iron brackets. Racks for small tools could be placed on the wall at the back of each bench, and the pipes from the stoves S carried to the chimney over the forge F.
Hooks for carrying bundles of wire might be placed on the wall behind the rollers. The larger sheets of metal could be stood on their long ends in the racks L, M, and R, and the smaller plates in boxes on the top of the racks. The letter references not already mentioned are as follow: A B, angle bender; A P, ash pan; C P, coke pan; H B, hollowing block; It, rollers; and T R, tool rack.
