How do you make maple tree spiles?

I tapped a boxelder maple in my yard this year. I drilled a 1/4" diameter hole about 2" deep and angled upward. The hole is about three feet above the ground. I then inserted 1/4" drip irrigation tubing an inch into the hole, sealing around the hole with softened parrafin wax. The tube runs to a 1/4" hole drilled into the handle of a five gallon plastic water container (square shaped polyethylene container for storing water). Over the past three weeks (as of 2/29/08) I've gotten about five gallons of sap which has boiled down to a nice golden syrup. The sap keeps flowing -- today I got a couple of quarts. So my solution to diy spiles is no spile at all! The tube goes straight in and the wax keeps the hole from leaking around the tubing.

Why do maple tree seeds spin like helicopter?

This is the tree's transport system. The leaves spin away from the mother tree in order to land and plant far enough away from the mother tree. This way, the seed can grow without being smothered out by roots or lack of water. If you pick a leaf too soon, you will see that it's slippery, pink leaf is too heavy and will not spin. Only when leaf dries out does it create the surface area plus light weight to spin. Thus, the wind shakes it from the tree, and ZOOM...the leave with the seed detaches and flies like a helicopter.
