77 has done this to the piece protecting the sides of the box when the 
corners are being bent, | he takes off the old mat which he had 
spread over the side of the box that he is steaming, | and he puts it 
80 down a little ways from where he is working, and || he removes from 
the box all the dulce that has been steamed. | When it is all off, 
he takes hold of one edge of the box that he is making, which is now 
pliable. | He lays it down flat on a place where it is level. Then he 
takes the protector of the box, | he opens the two legs while he is ! 
lifting the box-board from the floor, and puts the board between the 
85 legs of the tongs. || He places this close to the slanting side of the 
groove that he has made inthe board. Then he places both feet, one 
on | each end of the protector. He takes hold of the two corners of 
the box-board that he is making and | pulls it upward. Then the 
side of the box begins to bend; and | when it-is in this way,! he moves 
his protector to the following | groove; and he does the same as he 
90 did before when he bent the first groove; || and after he has bent the 
three grooves, he takes a | long cedar-bark rope and winds it around 
the box that he is making. Now | he pushes the one end against the 
groove that will fit it at the other end; and after doing this, | he takes 
his drill and drills a slanting hole through the two ends that are fitted 
together. | The distance between these holes is three finger-widths. || 
95 When he has pushed his drill through, he pulls it out | and puts in its 
place a peg of red-pine wood, which he | hammers in with a stone.
