Sling Hockey

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Sling HockeyI saw one of these in a store last week and thought it would be a cool game for my grandson. I googled it and there were many sizes and different ways to make them so I just made my own version, and I'll make my own rules too. LOL.
I came up with 12'' x 24''. It's a 3/4'' x 1'' frame, much like a picture frame with a dado for the bottom. One bottom is 1/4'' and the other 3/8'', It's what I had on hand. I used a 2×2'' piece of white oak and turned the pucks to 1 5/8''. You can buy a 1 1/2'' dowel rod and cut them just the same. I made the center piece taller, kind of looks like a score board.
The pucks are 3/8'' thick so the opening was cut 1 7/8'' wide by 5/8'' high. The power cord is 1/8'' bungee cord I got from Amazon. 25ft for $6. When drilling the holes for the bungee I countersunk them so the cord won't stick out so much. Adjust the stretch any way you want. Caution too much and the pucks will fly. haha.
I painted one and left the other natural. Finished both with clear rustoleum enamel.It's a cool game and they have different ways to play. The object of this one is you start off with a chosen amount of pucks on each side. That's why I made plenty. Both play at the same time. First one to get their pucks on the other side wins.
Thanks for looking.
Any comments welcomed or questions feel free to ask. Great Christmas gift.
