Photos of the build for the 2009 Sticklepath Fireshow, The Bemused Triangle. Builder Joe Gillespie. Build day 2 - 6th October: Yesterday on day 1 of the build, it was first things first - the tea shed. No self respecting builder ever knowingly being far from a brew, especially if it could be cold and wet. |
Build day 2 - 6th October. Tea shed up, timber sorting next. | Build day 3 - 7th October. The 2009 build is on its way. Rained for part of the day. |

Build day 4 - 8th October. A fantastic sunny Autumn day and here's Bev, back again on the build this year, yippee!! |

Build day 9 - 13th October. The 2nd and 3rd levels of the stage are now under construction. |

| Build day 14 - 19th October. It's either a curious form of modern art, an unusual way of adding flats to the front of the build or it's going to be something ? | Build day 14. Yep, there's definitely a boat in land-locked Sticklepath. Now surely they can't burn that ? |
 |
 |
| Joe Gillespie - amongst many other things, boat builder extraordinaire! | Bev - who's been a stalwart of the Fireshow build as well as wood collection for some years now. Meanwhile, Bev's wife Jo and other volunteers are equally busy with indoor Fireshow activity. Spending their days sitting in a warm kitchen sticking gum tape to balloons, amongst other things. Only in Sticklepath! |

 |
| This is John, who's doing an absolutely fantastic job helping Joe and Bev. | Build day 16 - 21st October. Cap'n Joe at the helm. |
