The Spanking Esquimaux

The stock for all parts is 1/4” thick except for the oar and broom which should be 1/8” thick. Saw out the two figures, wheels and bars. Hold the two wheels together and bore two holes for the pivot nails. Do similarly to the bars. Assemble wheels and bars temporarily to mark places on the wheels where the feet of the figures will be fastened. Saw out the oar and broom. Color all the parts separately in bright contrasting values to bring out the outlines of the arms and other parts of the figures. Fasten the wheels to the feet, the bars to the wheels in loose joint, and the oar and broom to the man and woman in positions indicated by the dotted lines.

When properly put together, the figures should swing when the bars are moved back and forth, and the oar and broom go flying and strike with a rattling bang.
