We may not hollow out a lamp, because one [thereby] makes a vessel. Nor may we make charcoal on Yom Tov. Nor may we cut a wick in two. R’ Yehudah says: One may cut it with a flame for two lamps.

We may not break a shard nor cut a [piece of] paper to roast salted fish on it. Nor may we rake out an oven or a double stove, but we may level [it]. Nor may we position two barrels near each other [in order] to set a pot upon them. Nor may we support a pot with a piece of wood, and the same applies to a door. We may not drive an animal with a stick on Yom Tov. But R’ Elazar ben R’ Shimon permits [this].
