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'.

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.

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!

A launching ceremony is planned for May at nearby Lake Inawashiro.

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.
