The Owl Part I

There's a district pioneering event coming up in three weeks, so we spent a meeting practising our building skills. The finished structure will be a giant owl, although we couldn't build the whole thing in just one meeting.

Lifting up the central quadpod. (Built with a cloverleaf lashing, which everyone - well, Lynx and Charlotte anyway - thinks is awesome.)

Unhanking a rope as we get ready to brace the quadpod and build the superstructure.

We're nearly finished bracing the quadpod; everyone's attention is drawn by the owl's head.


The owl's head - or at least its structure. The final product will be covered and given simple features.
