_Material:_ One piece of brass, 10 × 6 ins., No. 16. One piece of
brass, 12 × 4 ins., No. 16.
[Illustration]
_Tools:_ Anvil stake, mallet, shears, dividers.
_Directions:_ With the dividers set at 5 ins., one leg of the dividers
tangent with the top of the brass plate and the other in the centre
lengthwise of the piece, draw a circle. Cut around the circle with the
shears. Beat over 3/4 in. of the centre part of the circle, tapering
along the circle line toward each end. Round up this edge and curve it
a little inward on wood block so that when grasped by the fingers it
will be comfortable. Smooth off edge and make the flat part perfectly
straight, so that when placed on the table to receive the crumbs it
will lie perfectly flat.
