    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai Province) : Making a bark mat : A tree is felled with hewing-knife, a block of about 6 ft. is cut off the trunk and taken to the village. The outer layer of the bark is separated by scratching, the bast layer beaten with a wooden hammer and rolled up to form a torus. After the beating the roll is unrolled into a tubular shape and hung to dry on a pole. On the following day the tubular piece of bast is taken down and cut open.
    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai-Provinz) : Tying a mat for a roof : Long dry grass is spread out across two bamboo stalks which are set up at some height; the grass is moistened. The labourer sits between the bamboo stalks, lays two beams before him on the grass, and takes a handful of grass-blades; he bends these blades in the middle and puts them around the beam on the right, binding them with a bamboo strip. The beam on the left is only used as support for the bent grass and is taken out when the mat is ready.
    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai Province) : building a house : On placing the first wooden pillars for a house a sacrifice is made to the house-spirit. When all supporting pillars are erected, the bamboo beams and joists are attached. A bamboo framework is then made for the sleeping-place. Subsequently the two ridge pillars are erected and the ridge pole laid across. The rafters and the purlins are fixed on to the rood framework which is then covered with grass mats. The ridge consists of two beams between which sharpened bamboo stakes are pierced in order to fix the grass mats on to the ridge. The ridge is adorned with turrets fixed on top of the smoke-openings. The door is set in after the walls, made of plaited bamboos, are set in.
    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai-Provinz) : tying a mat for a roof : The blacksmith hammers a blade out of a piece of hoopiron and burns the thorn of it into a wooden handle. The edge of the knife is then roughly sharpened with another hewing-knife, and then finely polished on a grindstone.
    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai Province) : Making a sheath for a hewing knife : The sheath is formed out of seven pieces of rotang which are folded in the middle. Three plaited rotang rings are slipped on the sheath. The ends of the rotang pieces from the opening of the sheath. These are split once and a rotang strip is wound around them.
    Akha (Thailand, Chieng Rai Province) : Making an ornamental cord with feather : Two cotton threads are strung on a bamboo bow, the lower part of a small chicken feather the quill of which has been cut off is stuck between the two threads. The feather is wound around both threads and the top of the feather is again stuck between the two threads. The feather which has thus been fixed to the threads is pushed aside with a needle. The finished cord is dyed red and gets a multicoloured tassel of cotton threads attached to one end.
