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?

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.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

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?
