Washer Toss Game Set Workshop

About the event

This is a two-part workshop that takes place over two Tuesdays: September 26th from 5:30pm-7:30pm, and October 3rd from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Please make sure you can attend both before buying a ticket. A ticket covers both sessions.

Washer toss is a very addictive lawn game that involves tossing washers into a wooden box affixed with a piece of PVC pipe. In this workshop, we will build washer toss game sets from reclaimed material - mostly pallet wood. While the finished products will be 'naked', meaning they won't be painted or sealed for inclement weathe, they will be game ready! At the end of the second session, we will talk about the many ways you can stylize your washer toss set.

Each of the two sessions will be two hours. Make sure you can come to both! In the first session we will be learning how to process the reclaimed wood and PVC pipe. Tools you will learn how to use: Measuring Tape, Jointer, Thickness Planer, Miter Saw, and Table Saw. In the second session, we will be learning how to put all the material together. Tools you will lern how to use: Air Compressor, Pneumatic Brad Nailer, Bar Clamps, Drill Driver, and Random Orbital Sander. Other tools may be introduced as needed!

Instructors will teach what each of these tools do, demonstrate safe tool use, and help you process and assemble the materials for the washer toss set using the tools! Come learn with us and make something really cool from reclaimed material!!!
