How to make a 'bender'

Ingredients

20 6-7ft lengths of hazel branches, thoughtfully left by contractors working not very far away.
string
tarpauline
a metal stake
a large hammer
optional: blankets, lamps, books, food, cider

Instructions

Find a flat area of ground about 10ft square where you want to build the 'bender'.
At the back and to the side of the area drive in the metal stake to the ground and then remove it.
Into the hole left by the stake, put the thicker end of one of the lengths of hazel.
About 6ft away from where you made this hole, make another one using the stake. This hole should be towards the opposite side of the 10 ft square area. Again, put a length of hazel into this hole.
Now bend the two lengths of hazel over so that they form an arch. Fasten the branches together using lengths of string. This arch forms the back of your 'bender'.

Now make 2 more arches in front of this arch so that you have a very small 'tunnel' kind of shape.
The arches now need to be more stable. Go back to the first hole you made and put another branch of hazel into the hole.
Bend this branch so that it makes a small arch down the side of the 'tunnel' and joins the at right angles to the main arch at the front.

Now add 2 more main arches and more smaller arches down the side so that the structure is reasonably solid.
Now go to the back of the 'bender' and put a hole in the middle about 2 ft behind the last arch making up the 'tunnel'.
Thread a long piece of hazel over and under the top of the arches making up the long 'tunnel' and put the end of the hazel in the hole you have just made.
Thread other pieces of hazel over and under the arches making up the main structure so that they provide more rigidity and 'roof' type of a base on which to put the tarpaulin.

Now cover the structure with a large piece of tarpaulin and hold the edges down with rocks.

Put blankets inside and add home trimmings like bookshelves, pictures and lamps .Et voila !
