Supplies: - 4 - 2' x 2' panels of plywood (I used MDF) - 2' x 1' boards for boats (34' of boats total, I recommend at least a 48' piece to allow for cutting). - 3 piano hinges, 12' long - dowel pegs (I used 1/4' pegs, 3 packs of 72) - shot glasses (plastic or glass, 34 total) Tools: - Router with 1/16' bit - Sanding equipment - Drill with bits to fit dowel pegs (1/4') and to make cradles for shot glasses (1.5' bit on drill or drill press. See image of bit I used).

I found that 1' thickness is adequate for these boats. Cut your boats to necessary length, and drill holes for the shot glasses. I used a 1.5' bit. I recommend sketching out where the holes are going before drilling. Make a line every 2' in the length of the boat, then make diagonal marks from the corners of each line.
