How to Make a Homemade Wooden Pirate Ship
- 1). Draw the pirate ship shape directly onto a 6-by-4-by-2-inch pinewood block with a pencil.
- 2). Cut out the pirate ship shape from the wooden block using a jigsaw.
- 3). Drill a hole into the top of the pirate ship, at the center. The hole should measure ¼ inch in diameter and ½ inch in depth.
- 4). Pour wood glue into the hole and insert a wooden peg that measures ¼ inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length.
- 5). Attach a piece of pinewood that measures 4 inches by ¼ inch by ¼ inch to the top of the wooden peg with glue so that the two pieces make a "T" shape. This is the mast of your pirate ship.
- 6). Cut a rectangular piece of cloth off of a white T-shirt that measures 4 inches by 3 inches using a pair of scissors.
- 7). Draw a skull and crossbones design onto the T-shirt rectangle using a black permanent marker.
- 8). Attach the T-shirt rectangle to the mast using multipurpose glue, with the crossbones design facing the front of the ship.
