You stopped too soon. Where are the giant darts?!?! :D

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ha! Thanks Paul! Maybe in a follow up video.

[@ryananderson2867]

Yes! Giant darts!

[@SilentNoise1780]

Time to bust out the old-school lawn darts!

[@Makebuildmodify]

[@JackmanWorks]

I should never have doubted you. I hang my head in shame.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

You capture how much work is involved with this build very well. this dart board is AWESOME!! Totally awesome!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yes, there was a fair amount of work in this one.

[@craftedworkshop]

Wow, awesome work Justin. This was a super creative way to build this. Loved the cardboard technique.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks Johnny! Yeah, I was saving the cardboard up for the build. Glad to get out of storage and into something "useful".

[@MakeSomething]

This. Is. Awesome.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ha! Thanks David.

[@briananuvattanachai6646]

Make Build Modify what could I do to make a smaller board?

[@jeremyb1473]

Never in a million years would I have thought to do something like this. Awesome! Please keep the videos coming.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! I will!

[@bryangreifinger8787]

"Because I can"........ A man after my own heart ! Love your videos !!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@GeekBuildersNet]

Impressive solution. I never would have considered that.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@Matt.Jungfleisch]

That took some serious effort to pull that one off. Well Done as always ! Thumbs up

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@DanielWahlig]

Genius - just discovered your channel from the Jimmy Ice Pick video - loving your style!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Good to hear! Thank you!

[@MakeBrooklyn]

How the hell did I miss this channel? Awesome work!

[@Makebuildmodify]

There's a lot of maker channels out there now. But I'm glad you found me. Thank for watching!

[@jimthescotsman]

What a video. This was so entertaining. The Editing was ridiculous. And that reveal of the dart board after the red paint. My hats off to you man. Enjoy whatever your doing next ok.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks James. I really appreciate the thoughtful comment.

[@PhilMakesThings]

I don't even play darts, but this had me transfixed for the whole time. Nice job Sir!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Glad you liked it!

[@ericwhyne]

cutting particle board with a knife and card board with a table saw, brilliant! loved the wire straightening trick too! subscribed.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ha! I never noticed that irony in the video. Thank you!

[@LutherBuilds]

My son and I just watched this together. Awesome job!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Awesome! Glad you guys liked it!

[@NeptunluDondurma]

I saw one of your videos in my recommended page and thank god I didn't ignore it (as I do to many of the videos in my recommended page). I subbed after watching a couple of your videos. I'd like to say that I'm impressed by the amount of work you put into your projects and really appreciate the thorough materials and equipment list in the description. Cheers!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the feedback. It really helps!

[@rick4743]

Wow tons of work . Hours of working . You got a big brain and thinking sharp .

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@rick4743]

Make Build Modify. . Did you attended university to learn your skilled that you became craftman shop ?

[@Makebuildmodify]

I learned from making things . You learn something on every project.

[@rick4743]

Make Build Modify . Yeah I see people would do learn what been taught lol thank you

[@DamoVegan]

That was brilliant. It just kept getting better & better. He takes aim, he shoots, he ................

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@paulchinn5981]

That is one awesome dart board sir. I think it was worth the time to make it. Well done sir.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you kindly!

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

Excellent!! The last 10 seconds was the best part.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ha! Thanks for watching the whole thing!

[@cavu4me]

Very quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. You got me with the Diresta ice pick. Now I'm gorging on all of your other content. The bad part is now I feel like my own efforts in the shop aren't all that I thought they were lol. Keep going and I will keep watching🍻

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. Don't worry about your skills I only show the successes. I've had plenty of failure in the shop.

[@WorksbySolo]

Finally got around to watching this one. Great project!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! It would have helped if I had a huge wrench....

[@WorksbySolo]

HAhaha! Well... Hmmm...collaboration, maybe? Got me thinkin'!

[@DNHandcrafted]

I've heard your name a lot as a Patreon (I think for Making It Podcast), but finally checked out your channel. I was blown away by this video. What a fun and awesome build! Next up… giant darts! I loved the attention to detail with all the templates and the cage. So well done!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks doug! I just took a look a your videos. Wow! Very clean and well edited! Cool projects too.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Make Build Modify thank you!

[@mikejohnson219]

Giggled MERCILESSLY!!!!! Thus, enjoyed immensely. Thank you sir.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@otaviovideo]

Dude, you're really brilliant. Crazy as well. A brilliant madman ... Very good, that.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks.....I think.....I mean crazy can be a good thing, right?

[@FishersShop]

Wow this was awesome! Excellent job! I learned some things too... I had no idea you could cut sheathing with a utility knife or that you can take the curl out of wire by twisting it. And it never would have occurred to me to use the table saw to rip down the cardboard. Super cool, man! Thanks for taking the time and making the video. And I busted out laughing at the end. lol

[@Makebuildmodify]

Wow! Thanks! I'm happy to hear that you learned something. Thanks for the feedback!

[@simrandeepsingh13]

[@Makebuildmodify]

[@LukaS-tx9hu]

I love it that there is no music, its so chill :))

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@kalikasurf]

Awesome!!!! I would have quit from absolute frustration during the 'cut the cardboard' phase of the build!!!! This explains why i cant have nice things.......

[@Makebuildmodify]

Lol! Just keep swimming....Just keep swimming......

[@tonymc3817]

WOW that was amazing. Good board to take around at tourneys. Good job man

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yeah, that would be fun!

[@enochpeter]

Fun to watch. Great ending! Great editing!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShowRyuKen]

Amazing! What dedication to the job. Nice work, and on the mega darts too, man.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@Eonednb]

That was impressive, thoroughly enjoyed watching that, I may copy it, would make a good garden game with a bow and arrow.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ha! That's a great idea!

[@kevinyoungblut]

Really cool project. Any idea how many liner feat of cardboard it took to make the board?

[@Makebuildmodify]

I think it's a about 600 feet.

[@josuelservin2409]

I'm subscribing just for that straightening trick with the wire!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yeah, I love that trick. Thank for the sub!

[@revandyrock]

My favorite part...when you missed at the very end. Absolutely fantastic. Perfect comedy

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@InsideAlan]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen all day! Well played Sir, well played!!!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Just what I need the way my eyes are failing, nice job!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Lol!

[@WorldwideDarts]

An amazing amount of detail! Great video 🎯

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! 🎯🎯🎯

[@douglasbollinger301]

Well done using the drill to straighten the wire was new to me

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! It's a good one to have in your mental toolbox.

[@JointerMark]

A very cool solution. Wish the same could be done for those tiny golf course holes!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Now that would be a cool build!

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Hey man awesome bro even a blind person can hit that dart board hahaha good job dude :)

[@Makebuildmodify]

Lol! Thanks!

[@manatarms47]

Loved this. I know you have not had a lot of views yet, but they will come. Came here from Jimmy Diresta's channel btw

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for letting me know were you came from! Jimmy is a great guy.

[@FloridaCoastalGuy]

You do good work!

[@Makebuildmodify]

[@benjitatts5169]

[@Makebuildmodify]

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Awesome build, what a great mind........

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks Dale!

[@neilmunro7924]

Great stuff, so enjoyed watching this

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

There was a smile on my fave for this whole video. Super Kewl !!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks Bill!

[@donbaxley5530]

Pretty neat guy! Try a 2 inch thick eucalyptus log the width you want. I made one using that wood and it was great!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Interesting. How large do the trees grow?

[@summerlakephotog8239]

Awesome build and video, Justin. I subscribed.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Hey John! Thanks!

[@Martin1519]

Bad ass, I though about making one as well but I wouldn't know how to make the wire part because I don't have a welder. Do you know or have any alternative ideas for the wire in the front of the dart board?

[@Makebuildmodify]

Tonio9606 you could just paint it on with silver paint. It would look almost the same.

[@svthonda4236]

Wow u did a really good job

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@WZS86]

That was fantastic! respect!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@homegamerengineer3747]

Awsome work!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@mexxo1337]

Hi, very nice build. One short question im interested in: Why did you change from TIG to MIG during the construction process?

[@Makebuildmodify]

Good question. The wire for the dartboard was galvanized and the zinc layer was causing trouble with the TIG. So I tried the MIG and had better luck. Thanks for watching!

[@romeooromeo9384]

OUTSTANDING

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@ziapchoppy5846]

Nice work!👍

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@JeffsU2b]

This was too cool. Great job! 1 question. I have a cardboard project in mind and wanted to know if you did anything special to cut your cardboard on the table saw?

[@Makebuildmodify]

Nope. Just be careful.

[@gottabighit1]

You are CRAZY, man!

[@Makebuildmodify]

;)

[@exENGLAND]

Great work!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@jasonreilich8398]

the ending was fantastic buddy lol 🤣🤣

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@spyguy7007]

freakin' awesome !, you sir are a genius ! best video that i've seen on YT in ages, and funny ending

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!!

[@JaimeDrewatWoodenU]

The giant cardboard wheel alone was awesome but making a giant dartboard, genius.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Two hours of gluing! But still a fun project. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFeist77]

Would like to know your table saw router table setup. It looks almost like it is one table. Please give info on type and how you have them connected/setup

[@Makebuildmodify]

It's cobbled together. The saw is an old Central Machinery contractor saw and the router table is from harbor freight. I had to hack the router table to fit in the old table extension location. The table extension opposite the router table is an old cast iron top from another table saw. Both the router table and the cast iron "extension" are held up by a "truss" like system made from old bed frames. All together it cost about $275.00. Someday I'd like to buy a SawStop but I'm still dreaming.

[@davebedwell4323]

Just came across this channel. Very impressive! Lol'd at the end.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Haha, thanks for watching until the end.

[@Jkcreswell]

I need you in my life! OMG that is so awesome!

[@Makebuildmodify]

I'm blushing, thank you. ;)

[@kvanhorn]

You've maybe answered this already, but what is the green masking material you used? Is it just adhesive vinyl? Nice work.

[@Makebuildmodify]

It's just large construction masking paper. It's has a slightly waxy surface on one side to helps keep out moisture. I use spray adhesive on the waxy side to make giant masking tape.

[@GoGreenMan]

I didn't know that about straight ingredients wire! I use it to twist 2 electrical wires to together but not for that! thanks I'm putting that in my mental toolbox for future use!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yes! Glad to share the technique. Thanks for letting me know!

[@adamquincey4371]

Absolutely awesome...! Cheers...

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@franciscorojas934]

Exellent...what a Job..!!!

[@s.h.5828]

[@Makebuildmodify]

[@ronpeck3226]

New Sub, Nice job on the BFDB and on JD's BFIP. LMAO when you missed! Whats next? A dart shot gun? Something about the broad side of a barn! Nice to see a mechanical drafting still in use. All joking aside, Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yeah, I like to get the drafting tools out every once and a while. Thank you!

[@derekdunn4560]

dude, what a hilarious video! a huge dart board....because why not?! haha. good job

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you! Glad to make you laugh!

[@RogerHernandez65]

I made a 3.5 foot wide one back in art college 90-91. Used blue foam and canvas and 6(?) guage wire.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Nice! I bet it was well received.

[@Tugmun11]

Sir you Nailed it This Dart Board is the Bomdiggdie, I have also watched you big dart video, I'm in, I subscribed I'm lookin forward to checkin out the rest of your vid's Again well done Sir... BTW I thought your video edits very nice as well...

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank for the feedback and for watching!

[@chrisdebattista9927]

Bravo!! Great job! Would you care to elaborate on your measurements and how you achieved the mathematical formula(s) for the consistent spaces, as “Pi” pieces (bad pun) ... it was around the 2:30mark...where the compass, and Triangle work together...it’s been a minute since I had to use my brain ... Thanks and now following the channel!!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

I get a lot of layout information from the book - "Audels sheet metal pattern layouts". It's hard to find but it's a great reference book.

[@chrisdebattista9927]

Make Build Modify Hey, thanks again. I’ll be on the lookout for it. Appreciate ya
