Reference for Shabbat 8:6

עֶצֶם, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת תַּרְוָד. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת מִמֶּנּוּ חָף. זְכוּכִית, כְּדֵי לִגְרֹר בּוֹ רֹאשׁ הַכַּרְכָּר. צְרוֹר אוֹ אֶבֶן, כְּדֵי לִזְרֹק בְּעוֹף. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בַּר יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, כְּדֵי לִזְרֹק בִּבְהֵמָה:

A bone, what suffices to make a spoon. R. Yehudah says: What suffices to make a chaf [the tooth of a key by which a door is opened. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.] Glass, what suffices for scraping the head of the spindle staff, [which is passed over the warp when it is stretched taut and the strands pressed close thereby]; a pebble or a stone, what suffices to fling at a bird. R. Eliezer b. Yaakov says: What suffices to fling at a beast. [For one does not exert himself to take a pebble to fling at a bird to shoo it away, shouting alone being sufficient.]
