d: working day w: bushel of wood. i: iron ore s: ounce of steel
• a knife: 1d + 1w + 1i = 24/3 + 4/3 + 20/3 = 16 pounds
• a bucket: 1d + 3 unhooped buckets + 1w + 1i = 26/3 + 93/3 + 4/3 + 20/3 = 47.6 pounds
• ounce of steel: 1d + 1i + 2w = 26 + 20 + 8 = 54 pounds
• non-forged blade: 1d + 1s + 1w = 26 + 54 + 4 = 84 pounds
• unsharpened blade : 2d + 1s + 2w = 52 + 54 + 8 = 114 pounds • blunted axe : 3d + 1s + 2w + 1 shaft = 78 + 54 + 8 + 10 = 150 pounds
• sharpened axe : 4d + 1s + 2w + 1 shaft = 104 + 54 + 8 + 10 = 176 pounds
• sword blade: 2d + 1s + 2w = 52 + 54 + 8 = 114 pounds
• blunt sword: 3d + 2s + 2w = 78 + 108 + 8 = 194 pounds
• sword: 4d + 2s + 2w = 104 + 108 + 8 = 220 pounds
• plowshare: 1i + 1w +1d = 20 + 4 + 26 = 50 pounds (not coded)
