DIY: Giant Jenga

Giant Jenga is a very large favorite of an old table game played by millions!  Bigger is better, so lets grab or safety goggles and make one for ourselves. 

As the weather gets better, why not move the party outside and play with friends.  Make some summer cocktails or mock-tails and get out there!   We are working hard on the "new and improved" back yard so stay posted for fun new how-to's on all sorts of things summer.  

So, without further adieu  I bring you the details, Go get these things:

• Safety equipment, I am a paramedic, I don't want to be at your house because you didn't use them, so just do it. ;)
• glasses
• gloves
• proper safety equipment that goes with the saw of choice.
• Saw
• Miter, table, ect. 
• 2x4x8's
• to make 54 pieces (Exact replica of the original game,) You will need 6 boards.
• Tape Measure
• Pencil, or other marking device
• Sand paper block(s.)  This is easier to use in my opinion than just sand paper. 

Once you have all of the supplies that you need, get started by:

1. Marking each board at exactly 10.5"
2. Cut each board in exactly 10.5" section.  ***** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!  See below
3. Sand the newly cut edges of each board, to prevent splinters. 
4. Safely continue until you have 54 identical pieces. 
5. Stack in 3 wide, then turn the next stack perpendicular to the previous, continue until you are out of blocks. 

Edit:  *****  You MUST cut them to 10.5 inches, or it will hang over the next row.
