[@yvonnem1919]

Looks great ! How did you make the Kraken legs?

[@ambersutherland5408]

We used dryer vent hose with PVS pipes inside to hold the shape and cut pool noodles for the suction cups.

Another question, how do you have the ship leaning upward (as if the ship were sinking? Was it just stabilized with that chair? Lastly, what were the measurements of the scrap plywood used for the front of the ship? Im taking notes!

[@ambersutherland5408]

Yeah we tied it to the chair to hold it up. We didn’t actually measure the front pieces out just used our leftovers so I’m not quite sure the measurements on those

[@CTRCustomWoodworks]

Looks amazing! How tall is it after it’s done? Just trying to figure out how tall the U shaped pieces are, thanks.

[@ambersutherland5408]

We did it at 4 feet

[@CTRCustomWoodworks]

@@ambersutherland5408 awesome, thanks. I took a screen shot and measured, and got 40”, lol. Close enough. Thanks for the video, super helpful!

How well did the waterproofed Masonite (hardboard) hold up in the weather?

[@ambersutherland5408]

It held up great, way better than we expected. We live in lots of wind and snow so we gave it two full coats on both sides. No signs of water damage and it was outside for about a month.

[@alexledezma7629]

Where did you buy the masonite hardboard tiles?

[@ambersutherland5408]

From a local lumber yard, they didn’t have anything at any of the big chains
