Hey, TM, I love making stuff like this, and need to put together an 11" one for a 10U DD. Could I get the dimensions and weights too? I think it might help her get a particular feel I have been trying to explain, and I don't want to buy something I may only use a few times. I liked the water bottle idea, but still wonder what the weight is on the new improved 25% lighter model. PM or actually email would be better. Thanks.
