Full Size.
Model No. 1. - Glove Mender.
Prepare for the class pieces of wood 1" wide, and 8' long sawed from a 7-8" board. On one of the 1" sides, which should be marked No. 1, draw a line, with the aid of a ruler, along the edge of the wood, 1-8" from the side. With the knife, cut this side down to the line drawn, making it square to No. 1. Mark this side No. 2. On side No. 2 draw a line that shall be 9-16" from side No. 1. Cut to this line, making the side square to No. 2. Mark this side No. 3. On side No. 3 draw a line that shall be 9-16" from side No. 2. Cut down to this line, making the side square to No. 3. Mark this side No. 4.
With the use of the tri-square draw a line around the stick 1-2" from one end. Cut off the end of the stick at this line making the end square to all the side faces. Draw a line around the stick 6 1-16" from this end. Cut off the stick at this line, square to all the side faces, making a square prism 9-16" x 6 1-16". Draw lines around the stick 1-4" from one of the ends and 3-16" from the other end, and, using these as guide lines, draw the plan (omitting the curves) upon two opposite sides of the wood. Cut the other two opposite sides down to the lines of the drawing, then draw plan upon these two sides. Cut down to these lines, making a frustrum of a square pyramid.
Quadrisect all edges of both ends and join opposite points except the middle points. Cut all corners to lines, making the frustrum of an octagonal pyramid. Round all corners, making the frustrum of a cone. Draw lines around the stick 1-4" from the larger end and 3-16" from the smaller end. Round the ends according to the drawing.
Finish with coarse and fine sand-paper. If the model is too long, cut from the smaller end.
