BUILDING THE BAMBOO PLANT STAND Participants were given a kit of bamboo parts to build a plant stand. During the workshop, the Square Knot, Clove Hitch, Peg Mount, Fish Mouth, and Mark II lashings were taught. A series of videos explaining each lashing type were produced using Premier Pro. During the workshop, one researcher talked over each video at half speed, while another researcher build the stand along with the workshop participants. The YouTube instructional videos for each knot can be found here: https://youtube. com/playlist?list=PLUty_n0rTirG71njuauIHdPNxmH7dlST0.
