Fast Sling Puck Game (2x4 Challenge)
Introduction: Fast Sling Puck Game (2x4 Challenge)
Fast Sling Puck Game (2x4 challenge)
I made fast sling puck game out of 350cm 2x4 (48mm x 98mm)
Game is about 69cm long, width is 35cm.
Supplies
For this project supply list:
350cm 2x4
Elastic band
Basic woodworking tools
Not mandatory:
Laser cutter
Epoxy
Step 1:
First I cut two 75cm pieces . Then I cut those to 1,5cm stripes with tablesaw.
After gluing the parts I used drumsander to make it flush and smooth.
I wanted two finnish icehockey team logos there. Left one is my hometown team Rauman Lukko, it means lock.
Right team is the most nemesis for my hometeam because we are in the same county, its called Porin Ässät.
Games between those teams are the best, they have so strong lovehate-relationship.
So I used laser cutter for engraving the names and making clear boundary so I can see where to cut.
Step 2: Rink
Rink making.
I started rink making by cutting 20mm x 20mm stripes with table saw. And 4 cornerpieces. Glued those together. I used 6mm plywood as a template. So I laser cut that rink template ja used twosided-tape so I could flushtrim that shape with router. After I sanded and glued that to main board.
Step 3: Goals and Pucks
For the goals I glued two stripes together and sanded those flush. Before gluing rink to main board, make little grooves for the goal board.So its better to glue andI u goalboard will stick there stronger.
Goalhole is about 55mm width, heidht 18mm. 668
Puck is 40mm diameter, 12mm height. I cut the goal with tablesaw and using tablesaw sledge.
For the pucks I used also same 2x4 leftovers and cut those just with circle drill without that center drill bit. That's way I used that template.
After cutting and sanding the pucks I painted those black with just spraypaint. Then I used laser cutter to engrave the logos.
Step 4: Finishing
Finally I poored some epoxy so the puck will slide more slippery and it will make it also stronger. But this is not compulsory.
I also wanted it to imitate more of a real icehockey rink so I made these supports from clear 3mm acrylic with laser cutter and attach those to sides of the rink with screws.
Then should everything else be ready except the elastic bands. Drill a holes from the end 70mm and make the hole quite down. Then push the elastic band from the inside outside and make a knot, actually make a many knots one on the other. Then make the same to other side expect dont do the knot yet. Just hold it tightly and with the other hand make it tension so you will know where to make the second knot.
Then enjoy the game! 276
