Need some ideas
I'm going to build a Washer's game tonight. My wife's grandfather has a small woodshop and he hasn't been able to build anything since his stroke in 2004. I thought I'd get some stuff to build a washers game and take it over there tonight and he can "help" me build it.
Here's the dimensions I'm thinking of....
Playing surface of 24" long x 20" wide.
The playing surface will be sloped, back to front. 1" high in the front and a full 4"(building with 2x4's, and 1/2" plywood) in the back.
We're probably going to use 1 1/2" or 2" Stainless washers and I'd like to have 2 holes on each board. One that is 1/2" wider diameter than the washer and another that is 1" wider. A small cloth sack underneath to catch them.
My question to you is....
Do you think the hole sizes are reasonable? Do the need to be larger?
We're going to carpet it with blue outdoor carpet. I know you typically are given points for getting a washer to stay on the board. How should I do the scoring and how would I go about designating colors for the scoring zones?

I have an elk tenderloin and a venison tenderloin in the fridge thawing out for tomorrow. I usually grill the venison loin whole with a dry rub and slice it at the table. But I have never cooked an elk loin. This was given to me by a friend. How would you cook it? Keep in mind it is going on the grill. I need some ideas!!!! 0 -
I need to move a liberty safe downstairs in my home. It has to go down 13 steps that are carpeted. The safe weights 640 pounds. How can I get it down SAFELY. I thought about putting a 4x4 across my outside door and setting up a block and tackle and lowering it. Any other Ideas????? And no don, I am not just giving it a shove although I appreciate your sarcasm.[:D][:D][:D] any Ideas guys???? 0 -
I need some help on a firearm that failed, figured some of you may have dealt with this before. I have a Browning A-500r that was NIB until last week. Customer took it out, on the 5th shot(factory lead #6shot), the weld that holds the barrel to the recoil lug failed, and blew the barrel halfway back into the receiver destroying it. Needless to say the shotguns now DOA.
NOW the problem. Called Browning and there responce was basically "to bad so sad". They no longer deal with the A-500's and want nothing to do with it, even though its clearly a factory problem. Any ideas on how/who to aproach with this?
Thanks all,
Kolt

for my grand sons twelth birthday present. I bought him a mid sized helicopter and it won.t fly in the slightest breeze. Did a lot of research and any kind of plane won't do. Too much wind around here. Throw some ideas at me! I have a week.
No Don. He's not old enough for that!0 -
24" long by 18" wide, your slope sounds right.
1pt for staying on the board, 2pts for the lower hole, 5pts for the higher hole. play to 21. that's how most around here play. washers are the good heavy 2" size so make the holes at least 1/2" to 1" bigger. the surface is the most important part. you want one that will let the washers slide, but with enough friction to sop them from launching off like the general lee.0 -
I like the idea of those that are recessed and have a hole in the center. Except the washers bounce right out. 0 -
What is a "washers" game, please ??
