The accompanying sketch shows a stove that is suitable for heating six laundry irons by gas. The body is made in one piece of at least No. 16 gauge sheet-iron, the pattern being a rectangle 21 in. by 15 in. Punch a row of holes along each side parallel with the burners, and bend the iron to shape; the angle at the apex should be about 90°. Next cut out the bottom, allowing for folds as shown, so that it may be riveted in position; also cut out an end that will fit and completely close the back end, making an allowance round this pattern for riveting also. In the top of the end pattern cut a hole in which is riveted the end of the ventilating pipe. Next bend up angle pieces of a size convenient for supporting the heel of the iron; rivet pieces in the ends of these, and then rivet the full length to the sides as shown. Bend up two angle pieces and rivet these along the bottom, as guides tor the stand carrying a pair of radial burners. Rivet the ends in the hood and the bottom, and the stove is complete.
