Step 1: Water Tank

I used a small pot to use as a guide for the size of the tank.

I folded a sheet of a4 to the approximate height that will be the final height and wrapped around the pot.

Using PVA glue and elastic bands to hold the paper together until the glue drys.

Step 2: Top of the Tower, Base of the Tank

When the glue has set on the tank has set, slide off the pot and line up your coffee stirrers.

Cut the stirrers to the required length. As you can see from the picture, I used 2 layers crossed for ease of glueing

Step 3: Water Tank
While the glue was drying, I cut the corrigated card sleeves into different heights and lengths then glued (smooth side down) to the inner skin of the water tank
Step 4: Tower Frame
You need to decide what height the tower is going to be and cut your uprights slightly longer than needed.I cut eight stirrers to the lengths I required and glued them together in an L shape. Repeat this with the remaining peices to give you 4 uprights.When this was done, I added the top cross beams. The lenght of these are obviously dependant on the top of the tower that was made earlier.When these were glued I started to make the diagonal cross beams.When this was done (and repeated on all sides) I cut extra pieces to fit and glued into place so the front sides were all flush.If it is a bit wobbly, then place a sheet of sandpaper on a flat surface and sand until the tower is less wobbly!
Step 5: Finishing

Give the wood a good sand to make sure there is no excess glue on the surfaces.

When this was done, I used wood stain wax to finish the wood.

You could paint the tower white, but I prefer to see the wood comming through on the finished project.When the paint dries, then glue the tank to the top of the tower.
