VARS ago, when fires were not
as fmsliy started as they are now.
because there were no matches,
the Indian was compelled to
find Fomethmg to take the place of
matches. Ho had several schemes
He made sparks by striking pieces of
flint together, or started the fire by
whirling an arrow with the end em
bedded in dry soft wood, by means of
his bow cord. A contrivance similar
to the drill shown was also used for
starting fires, the whirling motion of
the drill shaft heating the wood and
causing it to burn. By driving a brad
in the end of the old fire lighter we
will make a drill. While some people
were using the drill for starting fires
the Chinese were using it for drilling
spots on dominoes and chess men.
The drill shaft may be a piece of
round stick that you mav be able to
pick up or it may be shaped from a
piece of siraisht grained wood. If you
are going to make the shaft plane a
piece of the proper length one-half
Inch square and then plane ofT the
corners, finishing till perfectly round
with sandpaper. Bore a hole through
he top end for the string. Point the
other !! of the shaft for the drill
and make drill point by either flatten
;ing the end of a finishing nail after
driving it Into shaft and filing off the
head or filing R to shape,
j Make the flywheel of heavy wood,
as the heavier the wheel the better the
j drill will work. It should be layed
Jout with a pair of dividers or a pencil
compass and may be cut to line with
ja Jack knife or coping saw. The hole
bored to receive the shr'f should be
a press fit and the wheel set In the
'shaft Wsh glun.
The movable arm Is the last piece to
make. Plane up a piece three-eighths
by one and one-quarter by four inches.
; for this part it would be well to make
; It of hard tough wood that will not
break or split easily. Draw center
! lines on the piece and from these lay
out the shape with a pencil. Remove
the stock at the corners to line with
a plane chisel or jack knife. It would
be advisable to bore the holes while
the piece is clamped in the vise so It
cannot split, before removing the stock
i Just mentioned. Note that the hola la
I the movable arm is of a different aixa
than the one In the fly wheel.
Fish line or other stout cord should
Ibe used for assembling the movable
arm to the shaft. The string must not
be stiff but very pliable so it will wrap
about the shaft easily. Tie a knot
j in the string each side of the shaft,
j this will keep the string from slipping
through the hole in the shaft. Thread
the ends of the string through the
holes bored In the ends of the movable
arm and knot two or three times.
To operate the drill wind the atrial
around the shaft by turning the mov
able arm on it. Then pre down on
I the arm, releasing the pressure as the
I arm reaches the end of the downward
; stroke, this will cause the string to
j wind In the opposite direction on too
j shaft raising the arm for tho neat
'stroke. It will require a little prac
tice to operate the drill evenly. If tho
arm sticks on the shaft before tho
hole Is worn smooth from use rub
little soap on the shaft where it works
; In the arm.
