To line up the first block I set a piece in the jig then lined up the center with my paddle bit. Basically you just need to attach two boards to act as two fences so you can take a 2×4 inside piece and set it in the same place every single time. To make drilling a center hole on all the inside pieces easier I made a simple jig for the drill press from scraps laying on my floor. Once all the pieces are cut I did a dry fit just to make sure things fit nicely. After squaring them off, set up a stop block on the miter saw and cut all your inside pieces. This will allow the 2×4 pieces, once cut, to sit snugger against each other. You see these in furniture pieces such as bed frames that are put together and taken apart.īefore cutting up the inside pieces, I would suggest running both edges through a table saw to square them off and take off the rounded edge. To get around this I decided to use some knockdown hardware called Cross Dowels. The only reason I didn’t use screws is because over time, after taking screws out and putting them back in, they will eventually turn the wood to mush and new pieces will need to be cut. You can simplify the project by using two screws to attach the frame together. You can make your target any size you prefer so if you want to vary from the size I made mine, now is the time to do that. So on this target I will be able to use the front of the target, then flip it around and also use the back before having to replace the pieces. Note: When making a target you only want to be throwing into the end grain of the wood.
It’s put together like a traditional end grain cutting board. If you want to build a quicker target to start with then check out this tutorial here. This will drastically cut down on time when needing to replace the inside pieces but is a longer process up front. I wanted to try something different with my target because the thing about throwing knives is it eats up a target pretty quickly and I didn’t want to be locked into replacing the entire center if only the center section was in bad shape. So instead of gluing all my pieces together I instead drilled holes in the center of all my center pieces then threaded them onto a dowel rod which is then inserted and held into place by the frame. Also, most targets have a back attached to the back to provide support. Your group, whether it’s one person or more, will never have to share a lane with other groups.When I was looking around at how other people were building their targets I noticed that most cut and glued all their inside pieces together so that the center is one big board at the end. That doesn’t mean you have to have that many.
TOP-NOTCH THROWING LANES WITH SAFETY MATS AROUND EACH TARGET Our facility has 4 individual lanes that hold up to 4 or 5 people. Also, each of our lanes have digital scoreboards and player names to choose from, above each target. STATE OF THE ART PROJECTED TARGETS = MORE FUN!! Our system gives you, the customer, control of what to play! We’re proud to offer you many different games to choose from during your stay. While other places use hard planks where the grains only run up and down. OUR TARGETS ARE MADE WITH END GRAIN WOOD WHICH MEANS MORE STICKS!! We want you to have the best time possible, so we’ve installed targets that axes will stick in more frequently.
