AVRE Log Carpet Layer build cont'd

April 26, 2021

To make the log carpet I first cut down 20 cocktail sticks, to the equivalent of 14ft long and then drilled each one twice in line with the track width. To make it look the part I tied a knot in the end of the wires and superglued them in place. I then loosely threaded all the others on and then having left the correct length of wire so that the lead log would sit in the drop arm correctly, I then carefully glued each log in place so that they would lay on the bed and also in a way that the Petard mortar would sit on top of the finished stack. Finally I cut off the last of the wire, tied knots in two new bits; then fed these into the last holes and glued them in place so it looked like it was tied at both ends.
