Once the cups are attached and the epoxy has hardened, I drilled countersunk holes into the bottom of the boards, using the pilot holes as a reference point. This will allow the screws to sit flush with the plywood. To clean up the game just a bit, I wanted to fill the nail holes on the frame. I used DAP Premium Wood Filler to fill all of the nail holes on the sides of the board, then sanded it down once it dried. This wood filler has such a great consistency and takes the stain so well.
I used it for the first time on my barn door project and was super impressed! To finish off the washer toss game, I added a coat of stain, some galvanized handles, and spring-loaded hook and eye latches to keep everything together. I also spray painted the washers in two different colors, which I forgot to photograph or capture a video step of.
Like I mentioned above, it has already held up to a week-long camping trip where we got some heavy rains and all I had to do to start playing again was dump the water out of the game boards.

Ensure that they can fit together to form perfect degree angles in order to give the corners of the box a more finished look. Alternatively, cut two pieces of two-by-four to 14 inches Place the shorter pieces between the longer ones; this will still give you a byinch square without the hassle of making angled cuts.
You may use plywood, OSB, or any type of wood that suits your budget and playing needs. Create the targets using PVC pipe. You can also use other type of pipe but PVC is best for durability and budget. Draw an X on the backside of your square of carpet.
Flip the carpet face-down and, using a straight edge, trace two diagonal lines connecting the opposite corners. This will mark the center of the square. Trace the PVC pipe onto the center of the backside of the carpet. Center it according to the X you drew in the previous step and, using a marker, trace both the inside and the outside of the pipe onto the fabric.
Cut the traced areas out of the carpet. Using the utility knife, first cut the smaller circle out of the carpet. Try to keep the shape intact and set it aside, as you will need it later. Then, cut the remaining larger circle out of the carpet. Part 3. Screw the square frame together.
Make sure the wood screws you use are long enough to pierce both pieces of two-by-four at each corner. Use a power drill to ensure that the ends are firmly locked together. Measure and cut a piece of square plywood. Create the square piece of plywood to fit beneath the square frame.
Use the frame to trace the cutting lines directly onto your plywood. Cut the plywood once you have measured the shape.
Screw the square of plywood to the bottom of the square frame. Simply flip the nicer side of the frame downwards if applicable , place the plywood on top, and screw down through the plywood into the two-by-fours. Assemble the carpet and PVC pipe inside the wooden box to test the fit. First, place the carpet right-side-up in the box to make sure it fits snugly within the square frame.
Then, place the PVC pipe in the center of the carpet; you may have to twist it back and forth a few times as you press it into the hole or even lift the carpet and insert it from the back to get it all the way through. Finally, insert the saved circle of carpet into the center of the PVC pipe. Make adjustments as necessary.
Glue the carpet and PVC pipe to the wooden frame. Do this in the same order in which you test-assembled the pieces. Let the glue set for the amount of time recommended on the bottle. For additional stability, use finishing nails and a punch to nail the carpet to the plywood base. When applying construction adhesive, be sure to press the the PVC pipe and carpet firmly together.
Part 4. Choose your finished look. Whether you add graphic logos or wheels for transportation, your boards are meant to accommodate your game play.
Make sure that they are durable. Paint and prime the box. Depending on the paint you choose, you may also need to use primer to increase durability and protection. You might even want to paint the colors according to the way you plan to distribute points. See Rules for pointers. Alternatively, you could use Polyurethane to help seal and stain the wood.
Create the second washer box. Repeat the exact same steps of cutting your materials, assembly, and finish to create a second washer box. Typically, the game is played with six washers. Each team gets three.
It is a good idea to paint the washers different colors to better keep track of points. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Typically 2. I then attached the PVC connector inside the center of the box.
I used gorilla glue, but you can also use epoxy or whatever you want to secure it to the wood. There really is not too much more to do, but there are different things that can be done to the design. You can add some sort of handle mechanism or even latches to keep everything secure for travel. I added handles made from some spare rope I found in the garage. I then used Gorilla glue to secure the handles in the holes I drilled for them. You could have miter joints, which requires more wood You could use a higher grade wood, where you might be able to stain it then You could use other thickness' of bases Be sure to upload pics if you make it!
Thanks for the instructions I made it for ME to match the colors of my house and to take camping.. Thanks for the 'ible. I made this one for my dad who is a season ticket holder for Oregon State football.
