Puddler. Wrought iron or clay worker, - see Iron Puddler & Clay Puddler.

Iron Puddler. Made wrought iron using the puddling process; a highly skilled and dangerous occupation which required physical strength, stamina and sustained
concentration.

Clay Puddler. Made the waterproof clay lining used on canals and dams. Mixing water with clay, they worked it with their feet until it became smooth and waterproof.

Forgeman / Forger 1) Blacksmith or his assistant 2)
