  1. Tinker's Tables

    Share Share Post
    The tinkers get long thick sticks and a square piece of board. Then they nail the board to the sticks in the shape of a table. Then they have to shape the rods and bend them. Then they nail tarpaulins on the board and sell them to the people. They make wicker-work baskets with sally rods. The tinkers can make them very quickly because they are used to it.
