I have found the box full of pegs and continued with the preparation of the construction of the Penniless Peggy Project. All the holes have been drilled (as per previous entries to the blog) and then came the laborious task of sanding every hole and in-between the peg legs to remove any shards and splinters of wood. So this has all been completed.
Thus comes the threading of the pegs together using fine wire. Cut eleven pieces, 27inches long
Then one at a time thread the pegs together with them all facing the same way. Alternate the height of the pegs from line to line.
gradually this will build up. The aim is to have a rectangle of 16 pegs by 6 on the very outter edge.
As you start to come to the other end of the rectangle the penultimate line of pegs is where the 16 other pegs come in (the ones with a hole drilled 1inch from the bottom). They are inserted in the same way however facing in the opposite direction. So you will notice that this means the outer pegs have a continuous look, pointing head outwards.
It takes a while, but it was getting there
And there is the pegs all attached. As you can probably now guess, I am making a door mat.
Next step is to trim the wires, and thread them in to tighten... tbc.
