the box | that he is making; and when he has bent it over enough, he 
45 takes off the board-protector || and puts it on the other end at (2, 5): 
and | when it is near the kerf at (2,5), he stops the board-protector, 
and he | takes off the instrument for bending the corner and puts it 
down at (2,5). He | steps on the ends with his feet, | takes hold of 
the board-protector with his hands, and pulls it upward; || and he 
only stops pulling when it is bent up enough. Then | he places the 
board-protector at the other side of (3, 6), and | he does as he did before 
when he bent with it. Now the | three kerfs are bent, forming the 
corners of the box that he is making. As soon as | this is done, he 
55 takes the long cedar-bark rope and ties it around || the box that he is 
making, which has now the shape of a box. Then he puts together 
the | two end joints of the box that he is making to fit them; and he 
pulls the | cedar-bark rope tight, twisting it around. He winds it 
around many times, | so that the box that he is making does not get 
twisted. After doing so, | he takes his drill and drills holes through

a round stone; and when[ the peg does not go in any farther when
