The stick should be dressed to fit the hole
in the spool snugly and a small brad driven through one end so
that the point will protrude about 1/16 in.
The adjustment of the gauge is secured by driving the stick in the
hole in the direction desired. A better way and one that will make
the adjusting easy is to file the point end of a screw eye flat
and use it as a set screw through a hole in the side of the spool.

The iron rest and wall hanger shown in the sketch is made of sheet
iron. The upturned edges of the metal are

bent to fit the sloping sides of the iron. The holder and iron can
be moved at the same time.

** Use for Paper Bags [19]
When groceries are delivered, save the paper bags and use them for
staring bread and cakes. Tie the neck of the bag with a string and
it will keep the contents fresh and clean.

** Use Chalk on Files [19]
If a little chalk is rubbed on a file before filing steel, it will
keep the chips from sticking in the cuts on the file and
scratching the work.
