    (1) I have made rabbit snares, and this is how I made them. First I got a stick and then I got the rabbit wire. I make a loop on the end of the wire, and passed the other end through this loop. I them tied this end to the stick, then I went and set it on the rabbits path.
    (2) I have made a spinning-jenny with a spool. I cut the spool across into halves. Then I got a little piece of stick, a bit longer than the piece of spool and with a sharp point on it. I put it through the hole in the spool.
    I then was able to spin it with my fingers.
