  If morning Mary was to take a wee trip over the Liffey to the Winding Stair bookshop she might buy Culm Crushers Array By Michael J. Conry. Broadly clum is anthracite slack. The pony I used to work would have had a go at pulling anything but would refuse to put a foot at anything like soft ground so probably would have refused this.

  Picture is probably in County Kilkenny as Castlecomer is about the only place to dig decent coal in Ireland, Arigna's not got the quality. But hold it, I don't know what I'm talking about. Arigina on Wikipedia mentions "Seams of culm were worked by miners lying on their sides to shovel the coal out." (nb: uncited) So perhaps Leitrim or nearby possible also.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Duchas: But now the hardest part of the work remains to be done. The mixture has yet to be "danced". This means that the operator must get the mass spread out shallow and must then systematically and without missing any part of it, "dance" it all over. The operator pounds and pounds it with the feet, which are encased in old nailed boots. When thus "danced" all over, the mass is turned with the shovel, spread out, wetted if necessary, and "danced" all over again. This dancing and turning must continue until the mixed mass of culm, clay and water becomes plastic and adheres to the shovel.

  Niall McAuley Deirge Del beachcomber australia Thank you gentlemen for your contributions.
  As a matter of interest what is the metal object in the foreground? At first sight it looked like a set of fire irons but that curved part at the top is not flexible enough to make it the top of a tongs?
