Santa's Sleigh
Designed by Kahuna, Malachite El'Ren, Lavendar, and Jade El'Ren of KVP/Instructions by Jade El'Ren
Difficulty Rating: 2

This Sleigh won a prize in Sonoma's Christmas Deco Contest--and well it should have. The four designers really came up with something very fresh and cute. Jade wrote it up, and her original instructions can be found here. I just saved the images and cut and pasted her text over here as well.



2 Shepard's crooks (these must be player carpenter made, NPC crooks face the wrong direction)
2 quarter staffs
1 medium crate
1 large crate
1 Throne (I call this the ugly throne. **Note, the pretty Magincian throne faces only 2 directions, so can not be used.)
2 folded cloth (keep together)
2 cut cloth (keep together)
1 bedroll
1 bag (dyed any color you want)
1 stacked bag of flour
(Flour does not normally stack, the way to get a double bag of flour is to go to wheat fields and pick your own wheat, then grind them into flour until 2 of the bags stack. Not all bags stack, so you have to grind until they do. The bakery in Haven has a flour mill you can use to grind flour.)

**NOTE, The cloth, crates and throne should all be dyed to a color as closely matching as possible.

To lay out the sleigh takes 12 tiles in a 3x4 area.
I have numbered them in the following picture to help when placing items.



1. Place Shepard's crooks side by side and lock down. (tiles 1 and 2)

2. Place quarter staffs as shown and lock down. (tiles 4 and 9)

3. Raise west crook 2. Raise east crook 2. That gives you guidelines.

4. Place 2 folded cloth (tile 5) and lock down. Stack on medium crate and lock down.
 


5. Raise crate 5. Raise cloth 4.

6. Place 2 cloth (tile8) and lock down. Stack on throne, facing north, and lock down.

7. Raise throne 7. Raise cloth 6.

8. Place large crate and lock down. (tile 11) Stack on bedroll and lock down.
Stack on bag and lock down.




9. Raise bag 10. Raise Roll 6. Raise large crate 4.

10. Place stacked flour sacks and lock down (tile 12).

11. Raise flour 9.

12. Raise last quarter staff 6 into place to finish design.



 
 When this design was in the contest, the members of  KVP took turns babysitting it, so it could be seen by the judges with all the reindeer in place!


Adorable!
