1. Cut out the pieces. The duck sides, beak & wing need to be done with shaper for accuracy. The steps and small braces below can be done by table & miter saw if preferred.
2. Sand pieces to clean up.
3. Decide how you want to mount the steps. In my case we used pocket hole screws on the bottom of each step and attachment into the side duck panels. An alternative is to do some type of joinery.
4. Glue up the steps and then then attach with joinery selection made. Wait for them to dry.
5. Glue up the beak and wings to the duck side body.
6. Paint with selected paint colors/details
7. Cut the non slip silicone pad to size preference and attach
8. Enjoy!
