(Requiring [Exercises] 1, 2, and 3.)
Proceed as for the [previous model] until the round pointer is produced. Then apply [Exercise 3] to the two Oblique Cuts shown from A to a in the figures 1, 2, and 3, of [drawings No. 1b]. These Oblique Cuts demand great care and precision, as the Cuts should be precisely opposite each other, perfectly level and symmetrical.
No. 2. Parcel-Pin or Carrier.
(Requiring [Exercises] 1, 2, and 4.)
Commence with a piece of Beech rather more than 3 in. long and 5⁄8 in. thick. Reduce it in like manner as [previously described] to a stem 3 in. long and 3⁄8 in. square throughout. Then apply Exercise 4, and so bevel the sides and ends as to make chamfers, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of [drawings No. 2]. Then draw a line across the centre of one side, and there cut a V-shaped notch as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so as to provide for a string. Then finish with a piece of sand-paper laid upon a flat surface, upon which first rub the sides, then the chamfers, and lastly the ends.
