Take a piece of good, strong joist (mine is 

 3x1^ inches). Saw two lengths from it 

 about one-sixteenth inch longer than the 

 inside-diameter measurement of your pipe. 

 Fasten these two pieces together at the same 

 distance as the length of your pipe. In the 

 centre of each bore a round hole and run 

 through an old broomstick, allowing it to 

 .project out three inches each end (see the 

 illustration).- Make this fixture very heavy 

 and strong. Nail the broomstick so there is 

 no chance of its revolving; it must be rigid. 



MaKe a well-braced handle with holes at each 

 end to allow for the broomstick lo be inserted 



When complete pound the fixture into the 

 drain pipe. It must fit very tight, but there 

 is no difficulty in making it stay if your meas- 

 urements are correct. 



Next make a well-braced handle, as shown, 

 with holes at each end to allow for the 

 broomstick to be pushed through. These 

 holes must of course be larger than the 

 stick, to allow it to revolve freely. Before 

 springing on the handle place on it two 

 eight-sided wooden washers like the one 

 shown in the lower right corner of the sketch 

 below and then adjust. 



You will have a good, strong, heavy roller, 

 and it will have cost you practically nothing. 



When complete, pound the fixture into the drain 

 pipe. It must fit tightly. Before putting on the handle 

 place a wooden washer at each end of the axle
