How to Make Axe Throwing For Kids | I Like To Make Stuff

[@Rouverius]

Cool! If you have another color pool noodle, replace the center ones to make a bullseye.

[@Helveteshit]

Problem would be you would have to glue it all down so it doesn't move around too much or get shook loose.

[@Vladimir_Kv]

@@Helveteshit It's not a problem. Just coat the bottom of the container with any slowly-curing adhesive before stuffing it with fake carrots.

[@DamenVain13]

was thinking of multiple colors and each color be a different point like the actual axe throwing ranges

[@fanfanlingo3878]

No idiot it's going to be military high-tech weapons for idiots children

[@KDesro]

I made this for my Cub Scout Pack. I cut the strips shorter than the height of the bin so everything fits inside with the cover on. I purchased 10 pool noodles (5 blue, 5 yellow) and cut each into eighths lengthwise as seen in the video. Cut the strips into 9-inch pieces, set aside the short stubs for later. My son and I used scissors to taper the 9" pieces and arranged them in the plastic storage bin. We placed about 10 yellow strips in the center, surrounded by a large blue circle, and remaining yellow on the outside. The small stubs are stuffed in-between randomly to help fill the space, and keep all the strips standing parallel. I cut two axes out of masonite, and skipped putting foam on the sides. Thanks for this spectacular build!

[@Gonbaga]

A cool update to that project would be creating a bullseye with different colored noodles! Also I’m loving the out of the box build ideas!

[@TheKamiBunny]

But...those pool noodles are in a box.

[@SpecificLove7]

This is part of the reason I love your channel, it has projects for the whole family. Great idea!

[@michaelpichette4143]

I recently made my son a play kitchen using some techniques I saw on your channel. He loves it! Thanks for all you do!

[@forby_]

Nice!

[@MapBot11]

hidden within this video you'll find a tutorial on making giant fake carrot sticks.

[@RyanHaworth]

That's exactly what I thought...as I'm eating my carrot sticks

[@ragnkja]

They definitely look like julienned carrots.

[@DIYwithDave]

That is awesome! I'll have to do the same for my kids.

[@jlevenshus]

Super fun idea! I used a similar technique to make my son a sword, instead of buying him the one he wanted on our trip to LEGOLAND. Instead of using wood, I laminated several pieces of cardboard, let him draw the shape, and we cut it out together using a couple different types of saws so he could learn about each of them.

[@tunin21frequency9]

That's a great forever moment!

[@frogmann49]

Since subscribing some time ago, I really admire how so many of your projects center around occupying and entertaining young folks. Wish I had the wherewithal to do something like this when my son was younger. He quickly got bored building birdhouses. Thanks for all your work and efforts to educate and entertain us.

[@ezequielosuna8216]

I’m a dad of two kids and me and my wife bought a house couple years ago. Your channel is always cool to watch. Great ideas for projects around my house. Thanks bob Ezequiel

[@stateof6985]

Bob, I made this for my kids. They love it. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@chanteljoshplummer8745]

Well done, I want to go home and have this ready for my fourth of July barbecue. What a great idea!

[@ariqueahmed8574]

You should do something like a house tour, but about your projects and your long term comments on your projects. Would love to see a video like this!!!

[@hamidge1976]

Great idea my youngest loves to throw stuff so this looks like a great rage release tool. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jim_no_rulers]

Nice, thanks for all the fun ideas! Yesterday my daughter and I made our second bug hotel for our garden. It was pretty simple but hopefully the pollinators will be happy and reward us with lots of pollinated flowers that grow into fruits.

[@evandupuis5007]

I run a kids Christian wilderness and sports camp. This year the theme for their party night is Vikings. I’ll definitely be adding this as an activity, thanks Bob and team!

[@voodoopete6206]

Wish i had a dad like you. You rock!

[@H0U5T0NN]

Really good idea!! You could also pour a thin layer of resin in the bottom of the box to prevent the noodles from being pulled out whenever you remove the axe.

[@cmdraftbrn]

many pool noodles made a noblest of sacrifices. by grabthar's hammer, what a savings.

It's not even just for kids though. This is great for people that would like to throw axes/knives or work on their technique without breaking their wallet to do so. Thanks for this!

Your videos inspired me to start woodworking and it also helps me to learn how to do a lot I got my own shop and take a shop class at my high school I go to

[@majoseishon]

Man, you have inspired me! I will try to do it for a medieval fest for kids, I hope it works out just as well as you, amazing work!

[@ericness9660]

I'm going to make one of these for the next cub scout camping trip. Thanks!

[@daisyplyler]

Love the shirt... SPACESHIP! But for real though. Classic space was one of the best themes.

[@Midnight_hummingbird]

I know a guy who does knife throwing as a hobby, he has a set of three specifically made for throwing knifes that I find funny when he throws them. When throwing knifes, you usually want to get the head/blade imbedded into the surface and he aims to do that, the funny thing is he ends up with the opposite end in the wood instead. (He's got it set up with three logs off the same tree that are stacked onto one another.)

[@jcsackett]

My daughter and I just watched this and she wants me to build one, so here we go! 😝

[@TheDommenation]

Really genius idea for the kids I have to try this one out. Thx for the inspiration!

[@sebastiantreloar6045]

Really cool build. I would use maybe half inch of resin to keep the noodles from falling out. And different colours for a bullseye

[@sarahsed1135]

Posted on International Axe Throwing Day! As a fan and Axe House owner I whole heartedly approve! ⛏🎯🍻

[@forby_]

😲

[@saned21]

Awesome shirt. Sending the link to my wife as a subtle father's Day gift idea. If not I will have to buy it myself.

[@djAnakin]

If you have a problem with the noodles falling out, you could always pour a layer of epoxy on the bottom of the container before putting in the foam, so it all sticks to the bottom.

[@tS-gh9dj]

Dad of the year award goes to

[@samharmer9049]

Awesome project! If you used a big round plastic container and different coloured noodles, you could make a target for scoring!

[@crissy297]

This guy found a way to use a full professional workshop to cut pool noodles foam mats and thick cardboard. He rocks.

[@jackb5381]

Bob for the summer you should make a mini series on projects you can make with pool noodles. After I watched your giant slip n slide video a while ago and now I'm watching this video I thought that it was awesome that you used pool noodles in the way that you did for those projects. 😄😄😄

[@CriSaturn]

And to avoid leecher mosquitos. I wish want create your Bat-box style to streaming out time if are welcome family bats enjoy your warming wood inside.

[@lebs2468]

Wow Great idea! Use another colour pool noodle with a round tub and you'll have a complete target+bullseye!

[@silentstellarechos]

This looks so fun. I just wish the foam pieces were anchored or glued to the bottom of the plastic tub. I can see those things flyin everywhere after a few minutes of kids getting their hands on it.

[@scotthaun8582]

cutting all those noodles looks oddly satisfying!

[@tuckerjones165]

here's a cool idea for a video. a modular office desk with options for drawer sizes, and other accessories if you can think of any good one. maybe a spot for a power strip and other electronics. I'm sure you could figure out a super cool way to add hidden light and maybe even a sweet way to charge a smart phone!!

Awesome project! My kids will love this!

[@FrenchCoastWorkshop]

This is so cool and seems to be really fun to do, even when you are a grown man! And your target looks like a big box full of carrot pieces 😂

Never tried axe throwing (I have a bow), but this looks too awesome not to make something similar! How many noodles did it take? (Only downside - imagine how the pool noodles felt when Bob said that the axe would embed itself in them,. Might just be me, though. It's still early and I digress easily). Thanks for sharing!

Could try covering it in liquid latex...that`s what we use at live role play events. There we would make sure the foam was larger than the wood all the way around to.

Maybe, but any REAL axe maker knows that axes are bigger, that axes aren't made out of wood and foam, that axe handles are made from wood and not aluminum, and you don't use pocket holes to make axes... sorry forget the last two, I was on a roll.
