and tinned in the same manner as it
was done at first.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.--

_First_, material--6 inches of 2-inch light lead pipe and one
2-inch brass ferrule.

_Second_, tin ferrule, using soldering iron.

_Third_, use a soft pine stick for a dresser.

_Fourth_, fit the lead into the ferrule.

_Fifth_, clean and paper the lead.

_Sixth_, secure the pipe into position.

_Seventh_, using the catch cloth and ladle, splash solder on
the joint.

_Eighth_, keep the top edge covered with solder.

_Ninth_, wipe the top edge first.

_Tenth_, shape and finish wiping with a few strokes.

_Eleventh_, tools used.

_Twelfth_, wipe a slim joint.

_Thirteenth_, steady the work with the free hand.

_Fourteenth_, re-tin the ferrule, if necessary.

FOUR-INCH BRASS FERRULE

The 4-inch brass ferrule joint is the same as the 2-inch, except
for size. The materials needed for this joint are 6 inches of
4-inch, 8-pound lead pipe, and one 4-inch brass ferrule, one _full_
pot of solder, some paste and paper, rosin, and 1/2 and 1/2 solder.

TOOLS NECESSARY.--The tools required for this joint are as follows:
saw, rasp, file, ladle, soldering iron, dresser, bending irons,
shave hook, and wiping cloths.

PREPARATION.--_Lead Pipe._--With the saw cut off 6 inches of
4-inch lead pipe. This pipe comes in lengths and should be for this
work about 8 pounds to the foot in weight. The pipe may be dented
badly, but these dents can be taken out as follows: Take a piece of
2-inch iron pipe and put it in a vise. The lead pipe can be slipped
over this iron pipe and any dents taken out easily by beating with
the dresser. One end of the lead pipe is beaten with the dresser
until it fits into the ferrule. The end is then rasped a little.
Then, after the brass ferrule has been tinned, the pipe is fitted
into it and beaten out against the inside wall of the brass ferrule
and a tight joint is made. The lead is next cleaned with the shave
hook and paper is pasted on as explained under the 2-inch brass
ferrule, the description of which should now be read over.

_Brass Ferrule._--The first thing to do with the brass ferrule is
to file the end that is to be wiped. When the brass ferrule is
filed, it should be done away from any part of the room where the
filings are likely to get into the solder. After the fil
