assemble the whole thing Explanation: It means "stand and twist", but nobody would say that in English. It is just an off the cuff remark, an idiom. The intention is that the carpenters would work out in the yard, presumably next to or on the construction site, and put something together, and that doing so will require that the architects draw it up in great detail, and if they don't the workers might drop unnecessary or superficial details. This is all pretty straight forward. |
