Make A Toy Catamaran

Step 8 Completing the Hull

   Cut your rod (metal or wood) into two 10 inch pieces. Then cut your square wood material into four 2 inch pieces (I cut two extras just in case they split). Then drill a hole in the middle of each of the 2 inch pieces. The hole must be the same size in diameter as the rods you just cut. Press a piece of wood onto each end of a rod (picture #5). Place the rod/wood assembly on the left hull so that they are flush with the left edge. One rod should be near the rear and the other should be 2/3 of the way towards the front.  Drill pilot holes on both sides of the rod and attach screws. Repeat for the other rod. Make sure the wood didn't split. Then just repeat the process with the right hull. Make sure the rod/wood assembly is flush with the right side of the right hull.

When finished, it should look like the last picture.
