Building the Ice Carving Table:
Your first step is building your Ice Carving Table. You will need the following items to start construction:
  • Ice Chisels
  • Ice Saws
  • Pairs of Ice Tongs

To collect Fancy Ice Chisels, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your Friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post. 
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Ice Saws and Pairs of Ice Tongs to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can post and send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction menu.

Now that your Ice Carving Table is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Ice Carving Table requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish and Share” button.
