- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)years of the Great war, when continental dyes could not be obtained, home made dyes. One such dye was made by boiling the tops of young ash-tree "shoots". I am unaware what colour of dye this gave.
- Nails though not made locally were made in Cavan town up to circ. 1880. The grandfather of the present Mr. B. Whelan, General merchant, Cavan was a nailer. The nailer used ling thin rods of iron. A number of these were kept constantly in the forge-fire. When red-hot a rod was withdrawn and pushed into a hole the depth of which corresponded to the length of nail required. The nail was then cut off a short piece longer than the required nail and with a few deft blows of the nailer's hammer the head was fashioned and the end sharpened, the whole taking only a matter of seconds. The busiest man to be seen working in those days was the nailer - "As busy as a nailer". Blacksmiths also made their own supply of nails.
- Up to forty years ago loys were used extensively, though now they are not to be seen. The farmer shouldered his loy about 8 a.m. and without a meal went to his field and began digging. At 10 a.m. he ate his breakfast and returned to the field for the day.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
