model tipis
Hi everyone! I would like to make a model tipi to use in an educational setting. If I wanted a table top model, what would be the measurements(including the length of the poles? I would also like to make a base.....like a piece of wood with holes drilled in it to support the poles. What do you think?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Do it to scale on graph paper. Trace the pattern onto graph paper to the size you'd like and then the poles will be to scale as well.Originally posted by Suzizila View PostA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I've seen so many yokes made now a days and now its time to redo one of mine (too much frybread) anyway, it was attached to a vest but I don't know if I want to make it attach to a harness or just another vest.
