It's very difficult to guess how long it took to make as I worked on it sporadically sometimes for as little as 15 minutes at a time (maybe just to glue stirrers together for example). But a best guess would be eight hours.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-58296664471560556852015-01-06T04:45:06.468-08:002015-01-06T04:45:06.468-08:00Excellent.

I actually prefer tapers to stirrers but find it difficult to get a hold of them now that I'm no longer in teaching (maths).<br />After a quick search on google they appear to be about £10 per thousand. I used "wood, spill, tapers and other variations for my search and wood coffee stirrers gave lots of results. School supply catalogues for tapers and office supply catalogues for stirrers could also be worth looking into.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-46585500690325663292015-01-06T04:12:57.375-08:002015-01-06T04:12:57.375-08:00Thanks C6, it took me quite a long time I guess, b...Thanks C6, it took me quite a long time I guess, but most of it was drying time for the wood glue.
