A very useful appliance, and easily operated, making the butter into a close-grained mass without injuring the texture of it. It is made of poplar, triangular in shape, with a corrugated roller. This roller fits in a hole made in a piece of metal which is put across the smaller end of the worker. This worker may be operated by putting it on the kitchen table, or it may be placed on adjustable legs.

Taper the two sides and nail them to the bottom. The roller is made 36” long and 2” in diameter, measuring ¼” from the end to round the corners. Bore a hole in the end and put the handle on it. Put a small metal pin in the end of roller to hold handle in place. Tack the piece of zinc across narrow end of the worker, making a hole in the centre to fit end of roller. Sandpaper when completed.
