Pressure treated for indoors?
@Axcitement7 ай бұрын
There is no problem using pressure treated indoors. 30 years ago that was not the case as the chemicals they used were toxic, but that ended years ago. So unless you are buying 30 year old pressure treated wood, pressure treated is safe for indoors. They suggest do not use it for cutting boards, and kitchen counters.. but for an axe target... no problem.

I always called these hatchets. 🤷♂️ A long handle one is what I call an axe. Right/Wrong?
@PixiFishMix4 ай бұрын
I’d say it’s right but an hatchet is kind of in the family of the axe. Like when you see a baby kitten you might say it’s a cat even tho it’s a kitten but I’d say it’s both. Hatchet is more precise tho

Do you have a video of how you build the target so the end pieces stay tight and don’t move? I’m building an axe throwing arena at my business and I like this idea better than using 2x10’s.
@Axcitement7 ай бұрын
We have complete build plans we supply to our customers. You really should look at projected targets, as end grain without is not very efficient. If drawing circles on them, you can't really move them around. With projection, if a block gets worn out, or an area of the target, you can rearrange the blocks since they don't have partial circles on them.
@mike_the_camper43157 ай бұрын
@@Axcitement thanks for the reply. I do not have the budget for projected targets right now. Hoping to in the future, I’ll do some more research and see if I can find build plans that don’t require me to spend thousands on equipment first. Thank you again for your help.

How do you flip the end grain blocks? Are the not glued or screwed into place? Thanks
@AxcitementSoftware Жыл бұрын
No, that would defeat the whole purpose if they were glued or screwed. They are assembled with a special frame system we sell so they can be moved, replaced, re-arranged, etc. That's why projection is so important in the system... if you draw circles, you have a set target and blocks get lines on them. That makes moving them around impossible.. it looks like one of those puzzles you had as a kid where you slide the wood tiles around trying to make a picture. Here, we can take a few that are worn or split, remove those, move everything around, add a few new at the top, and re-tighten the system, and the target is good for another 6 weeks or so of throwing.

@matthewbittenbender91912 жыл бұрын
First 6 minutes were like "OK, make your point already," but the concept of endgrain throwing boards is a great idea. The software is awesome too. It would be nice to see how those blocks are mounted as competitive throwers will chew up bullseye and kill shots boards needing the most replacement. You can also find a large tree trunk or stump of nearly any type of clear wood, cut it into 6" thick sections, mount and mark them and they'll last for weeks of heavy throwing like a log splitting block. You won't see them at many axe throwing places which make it like a Viking dining hall.

@Axcitement2 жыл бұрын
It does not matter if you are WATL or not. Watl does not like projected targets (they can't sell their markers and stencils if you project) and we found that it's very hard to draw on end grain, so normally the end grain projected systems are for locations that are more about recreational play, company events, date nights, and not just the tournament crowd.

Depending on your acceptable downtime you could hold them together under compression rather than glue if you jointed your edges well enough. That was something like a ratchet strap could keep the end-grain block "bundled"?
@Axcitement2 жыл бұрын
Not at all! Our system uses special bracketing and you only change out blocks that have a problem. At our locations we end up replacing about 3-5 blocks a month, and you do it on a day you are not even open. We have never had a failure they way you do with conventional boards - so less down time = better experience for the customer and more profits for the facility.
