  1. Dig out the three chambers as shown.
  2. Construct the light gray wall and red fortifications.
  3. Channel out the areas in green and cyan, linking all three levels
  4. Build the large green bridge (retracting), large cyan bridge (retracting), and long blue bridge (raising East)
  5. Construct a pressure plate in a well-traveled area (or a repeater) and link it to the green bridge
  6. Build a lever and link it to the cyan bridge
  7. Build a cage containing an *untamed* spider at the gray "S", and link it to a lever
  8. Build a non-wooden door above the spider cage, and mark it forbidden and pet-inaccessible
  9. Build a restraint under the yellow "d" and attach a *tame* *non-grazing* *hostile* animal (such as a dog)
  10. Recommended: build a cage trap on the green "^" to recapture your spider later
  11. Evacuate the upper two chambers and forbid their entrance doors
  12. Pull the lever linked to the cage to release the spider
  13. Webs on the top bridge will automatically fall and stack on the middle bridge
  14. Pull the lever linked to the cyan bridge to drop the webs to the bottom level for collection
  15. Sit back and enjoy your (mostly) automated supply of new silk socks

Note that a simple pit in the harvesting chamber will not work--the bridge is required to cause the "web objects" to drop to the next level (and stack). Because falling items are now deadly (a falling web managed to break the spine of one of my aspiring weavers), it is necessary to collect the webs on the "holding" bridge and only drop them into the collection chamber when your weavers are clear. Also, webs "tossed" by the retracting bridge can now injure (or kill) anything they hit, so the blue "blocking" bridge is necessary to allow periodic replacement of the bait. One spider can easily keep several weavers busy.
