Want to wait until summer rolls around for this project? Don’t forget to Pin It!ĭon’t forget to check out some of the other amazing holiday ideas on while you’re over there! Therefore you need to have the length of each Jenga piece equal to three times the width of each Jenga piece.
Want the free plans? You can find them over on BuildSomething’s website! While there are some incredible Jenga tutorials on the internet, one thing I felt was missing was a way to store the game in a practical way without (literally) breaking your back to move it around your home.Ĭue my DIY Yard Jenga set with a mobile carrying case that doubles as a platform to play the game on! Now you can store the game away when not in play, but also easily transport it to your yard!
My parents are undergoing a mammoth yard renovation at their new house (I’ve been sharing some sneak peeks on my Instagram stories), and all they have been asking for since starting the renovation is a giant Jenga set for their new yard!Įasy enough, except… have you tried to carry around those pieces all at once!? Not only is it impossible without a bin, but they’re SO heavy!
How To Make A DIY Giant Jenga Set With Mobile Carrying Case
I also decided to take it a step further and create a mobile carrying case for it as well (since, those suckers are heavy)! Even better, I’m offering up the free plans for both the game and the carrying case on as part of their holiday campaign! It is a great way to add that special touch to a woodworking project.Holiday season is around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning those handmade holiday gifts! To help get those holiday gears turning, I partnered with my amazing friends at Kreg and BuildSomething to create a giant Jenga set for my parents’ new backyard. We do post on our Facebook page when an opportunity arises.īranding irons can be obtained from our friends at Custom Branding Irons. Our Jenga sets are ONLY available at auctions/fundraisers that we donate to. Since we are using the Jenga sets we build as an auction item to help raise funds for our local non-profits, we brand the pieces with our name and logo. We used a belt sander, but hand sanding with a block covered with fine-grit sandpaper would also work fine. We recommend using Kiln Dried, Western Red Cedar Radius Edge Decking to help ensure the material slides nicely without catching when the game is in play. Do be sure to check the block occasionally to ensure it hasn’t been bumped from the 10 ½” you set it away from the saw blade. Next, set the depth setter on the saw to allow it to cut only through the 2×4 and not through the scrap piece of material that you clamped to the saw.Ĭut the Western Red Cedar deck boards into 54 pieces. By butting the end of the board into the block each time, you will be cutting a perfect 10 ½” piece each time. To create the jig, measure 10 1/2 inches from the saw blade and screw a block into the scrap piece that the edge is 10 1/2 inches from the saw blade. Have at least a foot of the scrap piece go past the saw blade. Measure once! Start by creating a jig for the Chop Saw by taking an 8 or 10-foot scrap piece of material and clamping it to the saw.
