Hi everyone,
Does anybody have a tutorial (besides the one I will list below) on how to make bamboo? I found this one on YouTube, but the quality of the movie is quite poor:
Thanks in advance!

This website does not come up for me.
I have seen molds to make this.
Wendy - I still can't get it to come up and I even registered. ??? Would you mind uploading? I am so anxious to see these instructions now.
Oh, my account wasn't activated yet, so I couldn't search properly. I found it and thought I would post it on here for everyone else. I got these off the website www.bsguk.org
You will seldom cut bamboo and find all the joints equal, so that is what I tried to copy.
All you need is wire(white/green- gauge22 or 24), a tweezer, cornstarch (for me, possibly Trex for you)and some light green paste. Remember as bamboo ages, it turns yellow/creamish so you can do it in that colour also.
Take a piece about the size of a 5 cent, then roll it into a sausage.
Insert the wire and roll until it's about 6-8 inches in length.
Leave it on a flat surface, using the tweezer pinch a line(joint) around. It's really easy.
I figure the joints, 1-1 1/2 inches apart is a good average.
