down flat, and he adzes off the flat side | to make it smooth. When it is 
very smooth and level, | he turns over what is to be the bottom of the 
box, for that is its name, and || he adzes it again. After he has 
adzed it, he takes | split cedar-sticks and the box that he is making, 
and he*puts it down on the floor, in this way: ' | Then he takes 
one of the split cedar-sticks and measures it , , | crosswise at 
the four corners. He first puts the | cedar measure in at 
(1), going across to (2), and he pushes the 2 end || of the 
measure into the inner corner at (2), and he marks the distance of 
the corner | on the measure from (1). Then he takes his measure | 
and puts it crosswise at (3), and pushes the measure | into the corner 
at (4); and when the distance of the corners from (3) [ to (4) is the 
same as the distance of the corners from (1) to (2), then the box is 
not awry || that is made by the box-maker. Then he takes his 
straight | knife and cuts off his measures where he has marked them, | 
and he takes another split cedar-stick and | puts it down so that the 
end is equal to the end that he has cut off, and he | cuts them to the 
same length; and he does the same to the two other || cedar-sticks, so 
that they have the same measure in length. | After he has done 
so, he puts one end of the cedar-stick in the | corner of the 
box that he is making, close to the upper rim, and he puts the 
other | end of the (same) stick in the upper corner at (2), in this
