Then he gets the bit and brace and bores holes in the "fillows". He then gets round bits of sticks about three inches long and he puts a turn in them and puts them into the ends of the fillows and he joins the six fellows in the shape of a ring. He puts the ring round on the spokes. He gets a hammer and he strikes the ring in on the spokes and he has a wheel made. He then shoes the wheel and puts on neave bands. He then puts in the box an Iron casing for the axil and next he paints the wheel. It is now ready to go on the Cart.
