Piece of Wood: L=29.5cm W=4cm D=2cm
Step 1: Marking Point of Ship
Get a 29.5 cm piece of wood and draw a line 5 mm from the top ( line a) and a line 3.5 cm from the top (line b). From the center of line (a), draw 2 lines that match to the corners of line (b). You should have a triangle shape
Step 2: Marking the Hull
from line (b), draw another line 12.5cm down from it. from that line draw another 4cm down from it.
Step 3: Marking the End of the Boat and the Tip of the Second Floor
From the bottem of the hull, mark a line 4 cm bellow (line c)
From line (c), draw another line 1cm bellow it, (line d)
Ater this, repeat step 1, from the center of line (c), draw 2 lines that match to the corners of line (d), making a triangle.
Step 4: Making the Hull
From the hull, draw a line 1cm down from the top of the wood and match it up with the corners of the lines marking the hull (see picture for better understanding)
Step 5: Making Hull 2.0
- Mark 5 lines across the boat, evenly spread out
- use a saw to cut through each line
- Chisel the pieces away
Step 6: Making Hole for Pipe
Drill a hole 1cm deep in the center of the second floor part (end of piece of wood) Make sure the hole is the same size as the wooden cylinder.
Step 7: Cutting the Points
- Cut off the front of the boat tips as shown in the picture,
- Then, cut off the second floor part
- cut off the tip of the second floor
Step 8: Glue It Up
Glue the wooden cylinder into the drill hole with wood glue, then glue on the second floor of the ship on-top of the boat wherever you want. Let it dry for a few hours or a day
Step 9: Final Touches, Sanding!
First, erase the pencil lines to the best of you're ability, then sand the boat everywhere!!! sand off the remaining marks.
