 have two wood vises. (Best obtained from Sears, Roebuck and Com- 

 pany, Chicago.) 



18. One brace and set of wood bits (6 to 12 in. number). Two screw head 

 counter sinks, one for wood, the other for metal and to be used in a 

 brace, are also desirable. 



19. Try square. 



20. Iron carpenter's square (18x24 or 12x18 inches). 



21. A small anvil ($2.00). A heavy anvil should also be provided and is 

 required for the heavier shop work (.$5.00). 



22. Small stock and dies for machine threads ($4.00 to $7.00). Several 

 extra sets of dies and about. 20 taps should be bought. The most used 

 sizes are 4/36, 8/32, 3/48, 2/56, 14/20, 12/24, but several extra taps of 

 larger size should be in stock since machine screws can be easily pur- 

 chased to fit holes threaded with these taps. (If heavy work is to be 

 done a blacksmith's stock and dies should be purchased.) 



23. Wood screws, 5 or 6 sizes, both with flat heads and with round heads. 

 An assortment of small-sized wood bolts should be in stock. 



24. Machine screws. These vary in size, length and style of the head. The 

 heads are either round, flat or lilister, and each style is often needed. 

 The 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 inch lengths are most used, but longer lengihs, espe- 

 cially of the larger sized screws should be in stock. The diameters and 

 threads most used are 4/36, 8/32, 3/48, 2/56, 14/20, 12/24, but several 

 extra sizes of larger screws should be in stock. Brass screws can be 

 purchased of practically the same sizes and styles as the iron ones but 

 dealers often do not carry these in stock.

 which can be done in the shop will be introduced by the 

 purchase of the remaining items in the list. 



31. Pipe stock and dies about 6 sets of dies and taps, but several more 

 sets are greatly to be desired. The common sizes are 1/2, 3/8, 1/4, 3/4, 

 1/8, and 1 inch. The rif/Jit InunJ taps for these may lie omitted but are 

 desirable. The corresponding left hand dies and taps are often of great 

 use. p]xtra dies (and taps) are also desirable if work with large size 

 piping is to be done.

 side outlet elbows, side outlet tees, side outlet crosses, return bends, re-
