To the bottom of this, screw a semi-oval piece of hoop-steel ( Fig. 71,3, 3), which shall bend around and press against the square strips. The ends of this should not reach quite to the bottom of the board.

These dimen- sions are for frames eleven and one-fourth inches square, Fig. Block for making Gallup Fraines, outside measure, and must be varied for other sizes. In- stead of the iron and strap, some use two pieces of wood with a central pivot. The upper ends of these levers are united by a strong elastic cord, so that the lower ends are constantly pressed against the side pieces of the block. Recently we have used in such blocks, both for frame and section-making, a single hard-wood strip, a little shorter than the distance between the strifis e and e. This is piv- oted at the center to tlic center of the block. This is a very simple way to hold the side pieces firmly against the Strips e, e. We ha\'e only to turn this lever. To use this block, we crowd the end-bars of our frames between the steel springs (Fig. 71, i5, <^), and the square strips (Fig. 71, e, c)\ then lay on our top-bar and nail,.
