The butcher makes sausages with a sausage stuffer. It consists of a metal cylinder with a narrow tube at the bottom, in the middle two handles opposite each other and an accompanying wooden pestle (piston) with crank. Finely chopped meat, mixed with fat, bread, spices, etc., is placed in the cylinder and pushed through the restriction with the pestle. The handles are held with both hands, while the crutch is held against the stomach. A well-cleaned intestine, hung over the tube, becomes filled with the meat. The butcher can also use a simple sausage stuffer horn through which the meat is pushed with the thumb or use the heavier sausage filler, driven with a crank. [MOT]

The sappie serves to rotate trunks and beams, sometimes also to pull them (cf. cant hook, ring dog). It is a pointed, slightly curved iron of about 25-30 cm, with an eye at the end, into which a straight or curved handle of 1.10-1.40 m protrudes (weight: 2.5-5 kg). The iron is placed on the ground, under the trunk. The user pulls on the handle, which is almost vertical. The point then sticks into the wood and the trunk rolls. When a piece is pulled, the user punches his tool into the wood, as he sometimes does with his axe, to have a grip. [MOT]

Monoxile (willow) shovel with slightly trapezoidal blade and rounded corners, with which the brickmaker scoops the dry river sand into a wheelbarrow. The sand should ensure that the clay does not stick to the wooden tools. The brickmaker's sand shovel can be distinguished from the mud scupit. [EMABB]
