I am most impressed with the fact that he counted the chopsticks as he went along. And I would be even more amazed if he did it using Roman numerals - of chopsticks, of course.
I, II, III, IV, V, and all the way to MMMMMMMCCCLXXXII Though that would use enough chopsticks to make an oar or two.

Oh, there's I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI
XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII
wheels on a big rig,
And they're rollin' rollin' rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'.

Excellent. I look forward to it with normal breath. I know better to have that bated breath, whatever that is.

this reminds me...
 

I've got a big bag of broken drumsticks. Over the years, I kept them all...for some reason. . . . I think I have enough to build a coffee table (top). They will form an irregular shape, so I'm hoping I can fill in the gaps and form a flat surface with some type of clear poyurethane or something.

You're probably looking for a table top pourable epoxy like the kind these guys sell. It will set you back a few hundred for a coffee table quantity. I'm assuming half an inch thick and 2 feet by 3 feet. Or about two gallons. You see these coatings on many bars.

Five pages to go. Then I'll need to associate them with the pictures as captions.

I'll create a new thread soon.

Here's a taste. The first strip.

Take a look at this viking ship made from 15 million ice-cream sticks. http://www.news.com.au/travel/galler...7153-1,00.html

very nice :)

He probably counted them over the two year period he was collecting them, then just counted how many are left over. ;)

It says he was already an experienced canoe builder, and from the boats and stuff in the background, he probably had all the bucks/forms he needed.

I like this recycling better:

Recycling 7000+ chopsticks, but what a waste of glue!

We can only hope the name of the lake doesn't put a hex on the canoe's seaworthiness. And that boat needs a name. How about Ican, Canoe?

Loki's ship will be built from the clippings of the dead's fingernails come Ragnarok. I am hard to impress.

Beats wokking!
