Thank you!!! Home Depot here I come!

[David Dumke]

Well I bought the stakes but home depot didn't have any taper tools D:

Any advice on where to get one?

[Mike Vines]

Excellent instruction.  Thank you for taking the time to do it.

Only question I have is, how much were the bamboo plant stakes at Home Depot?

[AkDan]

very nice!

Excellent thread, thank you for taking the time to teach. I was getting ready to tackle this for the first time. Perfect timing. This thread should be a sticky.

I will do that. I'm liking the dowel idea for tapering the shafts.
Originally, I went with a piece of aluminum shaft---like a footing, left the insert in it so I can use screw-ins. Its functional but ugly as mud.

Awesome build.  Any idea how stiff the spine might be on the stiffest shoots?

[Plumber]
