- 5. Churn-Making
A man named Willie Forde used to make churns. First he would get a bitt of a tree and saw it out in boards. Then he planes the boards and made them smooth. After that he would put the timber together and shape it out. Then he roofed it to keep it tight. After this he put a hole in it to hold the handle. Then he made a dash and out a cap on it. Then the churn was ready for use
(This business is carried on by his son Tom Forde)
