    • The basic steps to the method start with making two piles of rubber bands.

    Step #2:

    Next    Rubberband Man
    • Next you need to cross the piles so that the rubber bands overlap in the middle.

    Step #3:

    Next    Rubberband Man
    • Now wrap a few rubber bands around the overlapping parts to keep them together.

    Step #4:

    Next    Rubberband Man
    • Lastly, take the loose rubber bands and wrap them back around the pile till they are all nice and tight. This will knot them all together and make it strong.

    Step #5:

    Rubberband Man
    • Make Rubberband Man's arms and legs in the same way and attach them with more rubber bands. Form a ball of rubber bands at the top for his head.
    • Make several Rubberband Men and some musical instruments for them, and make a Rubberband Man Rubber Band!

    I'll be the first to admit I haven't maintained these saws very well. Mea Culpa. But here's the take away: the longer one is a rip saw. Use it to cut along the grain. The shorter one is a cross-cut saw. Use it to cut across the grain.
