 We just made these two giant yard games and it got a little intense and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it? Hey? So do we and we do a new project every week this week. We're taking it to the streets I mean we're taking it to the yard The yards by our street and we're gonna do some yard games. We're doing two easy yard games I want to do a third one, but we had a request for the first two and I couldn't get approval on the third one Yes, one of our patrons cat requested yard dominos so This week we've still in this work from home posture and kids are still stuck at home So I'm looking for something to do to get them outside Yeah, well that to get them outside because they'll find something to do inside, but it's just this yeah So maybe this will entertain them for like five seconds. So that's what we're gonna do some yard games first up Domino's we're going with some giant Domino's Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. It's really just a four two by sixes That's it Step two we're gonna make all of our cuts. This is where it gets tedious like Step two, we're gonna make 28 cuts at 11 inches long and I'm gonna use a pocket saw Love this thing We have to use a stop block and we're gonna set it up at 11 inches because because because This is 5.5 inches long your two by six and it won't get all the way through it So we're gonna have to flip it and cut it again so that you don't leave those crazy wonky saw marks Using a stop block will make sure the cut is dead on every time and we're just gonna cut 28 of these 28 They're a little bit rough, so we're gonna round all the edges just get in there with the sander Round everything up because we will be manhandling these and kids will be manhandling these Nobody likes a splinter. Nobody likes a splinter. I'm gonna get some sanding done Oh, I caught it now. We're gonna do some staining this little spongy guy. That's all fluffy awesome for staining it looks like Holds a lot of stain at one time. You just swipe it down. Yes using our favorite a Jack-o-bean Yes, these are terry cloth staining pads And if you're doing a lot of staining for a lot of surface area, this thing is great. I highly recommend it That's my tip of the day for you Cuts time in half then using those little sponge brushes now. We're gonna tape it down So you can do two options here You can just use your cricket and create a little stencil and paint on your dots or just vinyl I don't know if the vinyl would stick. You don't think the 650 will stick No, no if somebody tries the vinyl tell me if it sticks But I would use a stencil and I would paint them on or option B. We're going deep We can go Garrett's route and actually drill the holes in to the the domino So I made these templates on the glow forge that I'll be able to use a router and a Forstner bit to actually Set the little dimples actually make them dimples. I guess Gonna inset them a little bit I don't want the wood to get all splintered and I don't want to have to really have to paint inside the line So we're gonna tape these off so that later on we can come back and paint inside the tape We're gonna tape over the sections where the holes will be drilled So it's just a three. We're just gonna put one strip if it's six then we'll put two strips We're gonna come down the middle with a little palm router route out the middle And then anywhere we're gonna drill dots and the great thing about this template is All the options are here in the six and the five so you'll do the one the two the three They're all here and you see this one template Like I say give us some pizzazz give us some depth We're gonna use the template that we made on the glow forge. It's a big domino Gonna put it down Clamp it to the table. We're gonna run around the middle with the little razor blade And so the tape doesn't get messed up But we can still route out the hole and keep it taped for painting Now we're gonna make our dimples. We're gonna use a one inch Forstner bit See it We're gonna make a bunch of dimples. We're just gonna go in until we make a dimple. I'm saying like a 16th of an inch ish Ish Just winging it. It's like a guesstimation I mean it's a lot of holes like a lot of holes to be drilled so I'll get good as I go Remember I outlined each one of the little holes from our little template Just give it a dimple. Do you need to Plank it to the table? Yeah, I think I can hold it. Okay. It could be good. I'm so sore We're gonna paint all the little dimples chump paint white painting to you What's great about taping them and then routing it out and drilling it is that it's already masked off for painting So as long as you make sure that painters tape is pressed down pretty good You got a pretty good template to just paint the way in and then remember peel it up before it dries So you don't peel a paint up with it so you can actually still peel it up It's still really wet since their dimples Yard game number two We're sticking with dots. We're going with yardsy. So all we needed was a four by four And a bucket. That's it Maybe some vinyl. I'm gonna put something in Step two now, we're gonna make all of our cuts. It's really just five cuts and we're gonna do all five cuts with my pocket saw Second appearance of the night We're gonna set up a stop block at three and a half inches because the board is three and a half inches wide It's not really four by four We're gonna set a stop block up because again, we're gonna have to rotate this board So we can cut all the way through it. I can't get through it in one cut the stop block We'll make sure it's clean cut both sides Exact same with step a two round the four by four off and kind of make it dice shaped die shaped die shaped Got some sanding to do. It's really just kind of rounding off each corner. So to roll see a Dice shaped back to staining the dice Get them ready for that. I said that of course Now we're gonna wrap these in painter's tape kind of like what we did with the dominoes But since they're so small, we're just gonna tape the entire thing. I'm gonna wrap it like a Christmas present A gambling Christmas present. Hey, do you gamble in your room? Yahtzee I would get it. I would think so. Do you gamble in Yahtzee? Let me know how you gamble in Yahtzee It's like a Christmas present Step six Now we're gonna take this template that I cut out on the glue forage and a Three-quarter inch Forstner bit. We're just gonna hold it on there And start putting some dimples in you just hold it. Do you want to take it first? Take what no cuz I'm gonna have to move it around the thing I'll be moving it Moving it grooving it giving it some dimples Still masked off with the painter's tape Step six. Now we're gonna paint more just a lot of dots. I'm actually kind of sick of dots at this point Great bundle on Etsy that included everything you need for Yahtzee. It had the Yahtzee SVG So we cut that out on our Cricut. It includes the score sheet the instructions and rules It didn't take us long to realize that these dominoes were not gonna be easy to transport and With 28 dominoes at 2 by 6 is each. What is it 2 by 6 by 11 each? They were gonna be pretty heavy. They weighed about a thousand pounds I didn't account for that when I thought how fun this would be is a yard game Me either and then it when it takes two or three of us to get them to the yard We decided we needed a box something with wheels something that one person or one kid could get to the yard So use some scrap 2 by 6 and some scrap 2 by 4s a piece of rope and some wheels What'd you guys think? You guys gonna make some yard dominoes? Wait, let me tell you what I think I think this was way more labor-intensive Than I thought it would be My shoulders and arms a little sore. Yeah, he's a lot of whining about that in theory It's a pretty simple project right you're just cutting these 2 by 6s drill in the holes and painting them But there are a lot of holes a lot of holes more holes than the pegboard Yes, more a lot of drilling a lot of painting a lot of staining the saving was the easy part It was the holes and filling these holes with paint. That was the hard part. Yeah, that's all it was It just took a little more time than we can anticipate it Same with these little dice, but there's only five of these so you know these aren't so bad There's 28 of these if we did it again. I might skip the dimples and just paint them on right stencil all the way So yeah, here's my two cents. Just do the stencil do not do the the dimples It was probably not worth the effort All right, we're gonna go play these games and I will see you guys next week Well, I'll do it building and make it again
