Raising the tent and making a pattern

Weaver's log, Earthdate 27092017
The days leading up to today I have now drilled all the holes and sawn all four heads, and today I and my dad put up the frame. First I recommend to actually make the peg holes and pegs before raising it, in the end, we used nails. But after some tries here it is.

The reason I wanted to raise it was so I could make a paper template of the short sides of the tent. I used a floor covering paper the kind you can get from hardware stores to cover your floor then you renovating, it's great for all sorts of pattern making, and this is how that lookt, I used a staple gun to nail it to the frame directly and then drew where to cut later. It's definitely the biggest pattern I have ever made.

The conclusions from today are that as I mentioned Pegg hols is a great thing that needs to be done before I raise it the next time, I also have to carve some more on the horse heads as now they are in its raw jigsaw state. On the tent cloth front, I need to clean out some more so I have a clear floor that I can work with the pattern on and later cut my canvas on then I have ordered it.
