Material List

Item Qty. Description
#1 - Hardwood or plywood for the base. You can make the ring toss game in a variety of sizes; we used two pieces of 3/4" x 1.5" x 16" (20 x 40 x 400mm) and two pieces of 3/4" x 1.5" x 7.25" (20 x 40 x 180mm) plywood
#2 10 Wood screws or drywall screws. The length of the screws should be about 1.5 times the thickness of the wood you are using - we used 1.25" (30mm) long screws.
#3 - Woodworking glue
#4 5 Wood dowel. We used a 3/4" (20mm) diameter hardwood dowel. You will need five pieces about 5" (125mm) long.
#5 - Paint. We used three different colors of standard craft paint.
#6 3 Rope, nylon preferred, but other types will suffice. We used three 16" (400mm) long ropes that were 1/2" (13mm) in diameter.
#7 3 Copper couplings and construction adhesive to fuse the ends of the ropes into rings; alternatively tape can be used.
#8 - Polyurethane coating (optional). After the paint dries, you can follow with a coat of clear polyurethane for increased durability.
