Two cans, such as are usedfor tomatoes or other vegetables, can be used on a pinch, onebeing larger than the other and fastened in place with wire or insome way to keep the smaller can from moving around too much ;but a regular glue-pot is much better. See Gluing. Gouge.—This tool is similar to the chisel, except for the Tools and Operations 397 curvature across the blade. The common gouge has the bevelon the convex or outer side and is known as an outsidegouge. This is the more useful for ordinary work. The in-side gouge has the bevel on the inner or concave very useful for many purposes, it is less important forgeneral work and is harder to sharpen. Gouges are of various degrees of curvature, ^^^^ \^ / Fig. 534 showing a flat and a quick -p^^ curve. Those of moderate depth and curva-ture will be more useful for your work than very deep or veryflat ones. In using the common or outside gouge, light, short strokes. Fig. 535. should usually be made, for only the bevel of the tool bears on the wood, which makes this gouge quite hard to control. You can often apply the principle of the sliding or sideways cut in using the gouge, as with the chisel, to good advantage. You can roll the gouge aroundwith your hand from side to sideso as to make it cut is particularly useful to givea clean cut when gouging acrossthe grain (Fig. 535). In somecases, in working out a moulding,for instance, you can hold thetool at an angle with the work and get a better result than to push it straight forward lengthways (Fig. 536).
