I laugh out loud when I saw this. One of the lowest grades I received in junior high was from my 7th grade industrial arts teachers. I insisted on making a toe board for my woodworking project. That toe board served me pretty well into high school, but yours is so much more professional. Thank you for all you do to all the kids you touch.

Gary - I should have had you demo this!

[@davidmayer7962]

Great job!

Love this. I was thinking a rubber bottom would prevent movement in the gym. Will be making this soon

[@fedorfam]

How did the rubber bottom work? Also, anyone add any wheels/handles to make it easier to move around. Will likely have to store this in the track office most of the time and roll out to the gym when we throw. Thanks for any thoughts/ideas. Greg

Awesome video. Thanks for the great idea. I'm getting to work making 2 for my throwers. Do you put anything on the underside to prevent it from sliding around or scratching the floor it's set on? Like rubber strips or a spray coating? When I work 1 on 1 with my throwers we are usually inside on a basketball court and I don't want to leave any marks.

I’ve only used mine outdoors, but that’s a great idea!

[@EA-iq3dv]

This is great. Thanks for sharing the plans. Nice drawing too. How many screws did you use to secure the toe board to the base?

[@throwbigthrowfar4998]

8 - I think they were 3.25” screws

@@throwbigthrowfar4998 thanks! I put together a gill portable circle recently and was surprised it only called for four 2 inch screws. I used five 3 inchers. Maybe I’ll add a few more

Coach, do you have a discus version of this?

[@fablefallen]

Do you need to apply water proofing finish?

[@throwbigthrowfar4998]

No.

[@captain702]

What type of wood is great for that?

Plywood
