What is the first problem crusoe addresses in this excerpt?
nov. 4 this morning i began to order my times of work, of going out with my gun, time of sleep, and time of diversion; (for example), every morning i walked out with my gun for two or three hours, if it did not rain; then employed myself to work till about eleven o'clock; then ate what i had to live on; and from twelve to two i lay down to sleep, the weather being excessive hot; and then, in the evening, to work again. the working part of this day and the next was wholly employed in making my table, for i was yet but a very sorry workman: thought time and necessity made me a complete natural mechanic soon after, as i believe they would any one
nov. things i wanted pickaxe, a shovel, and a wheelbarrow, or basket; so i desisted from my work, and began to consider how to supply that want, and me some tools. as for a pickaxe, i made use of the iron crows, which were proper enough, thought heavy; but the next thing was a shovel or spade; this was so absolutely necessary, that, indeed, i could do nothing effectually without it; but what kind of one to make i knew not.
nov next day, in searching the woods, i found a tree of that wood, or like it, which, in the brazils, they call the iron tree, from its exceeding hardness: of this, with great labour, and almost spoiling my axe, i cut a piece;
and brought it home, too with difficulty enough, for it was exceeding heavy. the excessive hardness of the wood, and my having no other way, made me a long while upon this machine: for i worked it effectually, by little and little, into the form of a shovel or spade; the handle exactly shaped like ours in england, only that the broad part having no iron shod upon it at bottom, it would not last me so long: however, it served well enough for the uses which i had occasion to put it to; but never was a shovel, i believe, made after that fashion, or so long in making.
