Day 2 was pretty much an extension of day one, in that we further honed our stick making skills. I would never
\nhave thought so many sticks would be required to make a chair, but there you go.<\/p>\n

The legs, of course. And the stretchers between them – an ‘h’ shaped arrangement of sticks which when properly made tension (stretch) the legs. The pressure being what assists with the structural integrity.<\/p>\n

Then a pair of triplet sticks for the arm rests, and finally a variable number of sticks for the back of the chair. This is apparently a completely arbitrary decision based on aesthetics. Minimum of five, maximum of eight. Even or odd? Even means your spine does not impact on a stick, odd gives your back support. Apparently wars have been fought over such subtleties.<\/p>\n

Another day, and another batch of new muscles make their presence known through heightened pain receptors. More beer. More pizza.<\/p>\n
