Project - Ring Toss Game
I saw recently this at a fair in Belgium, and I've seen this game probably many times before. It seemed like a quick and easy wood working project, using up some leftover wood.
Fair simple process. I did have to buy some flat bottom drill bits to drill the holes for the sticks. I used bamboo cut down to about 15cm size to go in the holes, and I bought a pyrography pen (wood burning kit), to burn in the scores. This most works... I'm not good a wood burning yet, it requires a lot of skill it seems, but I managed some rudimentary numbers. Then I sanded and stained the wood.
I also made some rope rings, using some thick rope I had lying around. I watched a video on how to make a continuous ring and it worked great! They're not all the exact same size, but I don't mind the variation. No glue or screws required for this project and the wood just fits together temporarily when you play.
What could be improved:
- The stain isn't so even. Maybe it the cheap wood or its my application.
- The etched numbers are not very clean
Would make again.

Hi there I'm Charlotte from London and I am a Millennial hobbiest. By that I mean I love making things, for both the process and the outcomes. On this blog I talk about all the things I'm working on and learning each week. On some projects I will go into a bit more detail on what I did and my experience through it.
Some facts about me:
- I am not a perfectionist, preferring to complete something than to attempt to make something flawless.
- I am in a constant cycle of building up inspiration, executing the ideas, then winding down to reflect and regenerate.
- I am interested in almost anything that can be made from scratch using nature / natural materials.
