  1. We make wooden rollers and Stakes.
    We make the stakes out of wood by cutting them and painting the end thus.

    The roller is made out of the heavy round part of the trunk of a tree.

    We bore holes at the ends to fasten the ropes or chains to it when the horse is dragging it along the ground. We make a wooden mallet for driving in the stakes like this.
    We make crusheeneens out of a piece of timber also.
