How to Build a Perry the Platypus Inaction Figure

Step 3 Cut Out Groove for Tail & Insert for Bill

Using your router with a 10mm bit, cut a groove 10mm deep, 10mm below the top of the body. If you don't have a router, you can use a saw and a 10mm chisel.

You can cut out the insert for attaching the bill, with either a saw or by using a router (10mm deep by 20mm wide). The 'real' inaction figure doesn't have this insert, but I added this to aid attaching the bill with screws (easier for the children to assemble).
