How to make Target Elastics - a woodworking plan

Jul 11

We have released our 6th woodworking plan for heirloom wooden games - How to make Target Elastics.

These plans are designed for intermediate woodworkers, helping you build skills, create a really quality finish and most importantly to create a lasting fun game for you to enjoy.

We thought you might like to know a little more about this game, what is included in the plans and the tools and skills you will need to complete the project.

The basics

We call this game Target Elastics as it is a combination of a Target Shuffle board and Table Elastics. Grown from the desire to accommodate more players, it can be played with up to 4 players.

We make all our games from NZ pine (fsc) and reclaimed wood, in leiu of painting we recommend a natural wood stain finish is longer lasting and holds up well to wear and tear of play.

Dimensions: 110cm square.

What does the game include? 1 x board, detachable legs and 16 pucks (4 of each colour).

How to play

Players take turns to fire their pucks into the target area. Play continues until all pucks are used. At the end of the game the scores are added up and the winner announced.

What we love about this game

This game is instinctive to learn and can be played by all ages. No complicated rules mean it can be a relaxed and sedate party game that has a wide appeal.

The strategists and highly competitive amoung you will be revealed as they try to knock their opponents pucks out of the way.
