. The American angler's book: embracing the natural history of sporting fish, and the art of taking them. With instructions in fly-fishing, fly-making, and rod-making; and directions for fish-breeding. To which is appended, Dies piscatoriae: describing noted fishing-places, and the pleasure of solitary fly-fishing. Illustrated with eighty engravings on wood. Fishing; Fishes. 450 AMERICAN ANGLBK' cane, the outer and inner circles above presenting a section of it, split it in half at AA, and from one of these halves split the four strips BBBB, and draw each strip through the V tool, scraping them down to the required size, the ends presenting the shape of the right angle under D or the little figure B. Then join two of these pieces lengthwise with hot glue, wrapping them tightly, and then the other two pieces in the same way, the end of each twin piece being represented by the figure F. Straighten them while pliant with the glue, and lay them by over night for the glue to set firmly. Next day unwrap the twine from around the twin pieces,, and lay- ing one of them in a small grove in the strip of wood screwed in your vice, the broad surface being uppermost, with your coarse file make it perfectly level. Then treat the other twin piece in the same way, and, applying the glue to the surface of each twin piece, bind them tightly together, straighten the quadruple piece thus formed (a section of which is repre- sented by G), and lay it aside for the glue to dry. Although I have shown where the seams are in the butt ends or sections in the figures F, G, and H, there are no seams visible when the strips are glued together. I have already explained how the quadruple pieces are.
