Step 8. Assemble the furniture using a stack-and-secure process. To start with, position poles 1 and 2 vertically on your working area with the holes facing up. Then, insert the 40.5cm long dowels on the 4 holes of the 2 poles. Stack the following materials in this order: poles 3 and 4, horizontally; poles 5 and 6, vertically; and pole 7, horizontally.

Step 9. Insert the 20.3 cm long dowels on the third hole from the edge of poles 5 and 6. Then, stack poles 8 and 9 parallel to pole 7. Again, the slots of pole 9 should face right, while the slots of pole 8 should face left and upward. Then, stack poles 10 and 11 on the left middle holes of poles 5 and 6. Lastly, insert pole 12 on the holes of poles 10 and 11.

Step 10. Insert the bayog splits on the slots you have made, three lying down to connect pole 9 to pole 8, and the other three in upright position to connect ole 8 to pole 12. To secure the poles together, drill a hole on the side of pole 7 that will run through to the other end. Dip the 15.2 cm dowel into the glue before inserting it onto the hole. Insert the dowel and pound it with a hammer until it goes through the pole. Cut the excess dowel. Do the same to the other end of pole 7 and pole 8.

Step 11. For the seat cover, place the kauayang tinik splits in horizontal position abut half a centimeter away from one another. Attach each split to the bayog split beneath; for this, use the pneumatic kneeler that is attached to a compressor. Interlock the rattan rope to the splits, then knot them in between the split. Do the same to the back rest part of the armchair.
