You will need:
Wood - 1x4 or 1x8 or 1xwhatever.
Nails - will need 5, I used 6d finishing.
Either 2 8d finishing nails or something else long and thin.
Drill
String - I used kite string.
Cork - from wine bottle or something, could use a rubber bung if you have one.
Pump - preferably with pressure gauge.
Inflating needle -
Bottle - 2L soda bottle works well and can handle a lot of pressure (definitely 70 psi).
