This video is good, the ax target looks great, the only issue I have is that your hair is not as long as it could be. I feel that if you grow your hair for a little bit longer and use an industrial fan to blow while you are filming that your hair will be even more majestic. I will wait for the follow up video in a few months to see how your hair is coming along. Great job so far, I am following along at home by not cutting my hair as well. Thanks, I will be using an ax holding board up for my ax's as well.
@@ArtfullyRogue try Wow shampoo. It sounds girly, and I am in fact a girl, but it made my hair grow a ton faster. I have waist length hair and it's grown a bunch. Also, massage your scalp, it increases blood flow and will help, too.
This is the greatest tutorial ever. I built this for my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. He fucking loved it! It was pretty difficult for a smallish girl to do but you made it easy. Thank you!
Dude... Bad Ass. My wife sent me this because I might have torn up the fence a little.. Sort of.... But hey, the target is great.... The 70's starsky and hutch vibe in slow mo tho... That was the ticket! You are THE man! Outstanding!
This is a great instructional video! I've made 4 of these now to sell or give as gifts and I have just a few tips. 1. Put a board across the top. I use a 2x4. Water gets between the plywood and 2x10s and grows mold fast. It's not perfect, but it should help. 2. If you're going to put a board at the bottom to hold axes, use something thick because the axes will hit it...a lot. I used a 1x4 and it broke the first day I used it. A 2x6 might work well. 3. I make these to sell so I paid a local guy with a CNC $40 to cut out the target dimensions so I could spray them quicker. Took me an hour just to measure out and paint the target the first time I made one. Now I can do it in about a minute. After having done a few, I can make one of these in under 2 hours. Cost is $70 and I sell them for $150 with free delivery. Total labor time with delivery and picking up materials ends up being about 4 hours.
I used your video to build an axe throwing station today. Your instructions and build list were very good. It took around 5 hours for a rookie to build. This will depend on the equipment one has to cut and drill the wood. My only criticism is that the optional support you listed should not be optional to ensure stability. Beyond that, I couldn’t have built it without your video. Great job.
Thanks for having fun doing this and spelling it out with clarity….. lol my husband is gonna be so excited when he wakes up to know I have a “project date for us”🤗…. The reward will be throwing axes…🤪. Thank you for sharing!
My husband went axe throwing once and he absolutely loved it. I have copied your list (👍🏼) and I am about to go to my shop to build this for him. Thank you for the very specific instructions. 😁
Of all the videos I researched for this project. You, friend have done an exceptional job. From building to the target to league info. Everything I need in one spot! Great work.
I built this a couple nights ago following your instructions and brought it to a party last night, it was a hit! Thanks so much for your detailed video.
Great video, thank you! My 15 year old son and I built one over Christmas break. Our only modification was adding 2x6 at the base to make it square so we could add wheels. Turned out great!
Great Video! Super easy to follow and straight to the point. The axe flip while walking was epic! I wonder how well it would hold up if made from PT lumber and kept outside in the backyard.
Thank you for this video! I did my 1st axe throwing on Thursday and had so much fun. Going to be building my own target in my backyard soon. Very helpful!
When we got to the disco music portion of today's lesson, I had fond memories of early TH-cam...those light-hearted and carefree days before everyone was talking about "here in my garage" or the economic crash that is always just around the corner. Nice work on the target.
Thanks for the great DIY video. What did you use to attach the 45 degree supports to the 48" 2x4 base? I can see some kind of square in the video. Cheers
yo my uncle just asked me to build a target for axe throwing and honestly i had very little knowledge about the sport aswell as the dimensions to the target but i really enjoyed the video , yo that hair scene music and all , s#it was Funny ... aight yo overall the video put me up on game !
Cool I started throwing And this is the first video I watched on it and have been doing it for a month and a half thanks a lot and have fun on your axis
This video is The Standard video to learn how to make a throwing target. I had no idea what i was doing and by the end of the day i had a solid throwing target.Wooooo
So cool to read your comment. I'm always a little worried when doing "how to" videos and if I miss steps or if I don't make the video easy enough to follow
Just built this. So simple. Amazing video, and straight forward. Did you mention the diameter of the clutches anywhere? I had to google it. Unfortunately I live in the woods so mine stays outside. Gives me a reason to build a little shelter/canopy over this and the archery targets. Wish I could add wheels since it’s stupid heavy, but outside of adding bicycle wheels, I’m limited to what rolls easily in the woods. Again, great video.
Thanks for watching Chris! The clutches are 3" in diameter. Since I shot the video, I've moved mine to my backyard. I should probably build a cover for mine as well
Thank you for the idea! I’m 8 months pregnant and I built this for my husband by myself!! My only issue I’m having is I botched my spray paint job. I stood too close and my paint dripped through my stencil. Any recommendations on how to remove the excess paint? Thank you in advance!!
Hi Tara sorry for the delayed response. You can use paint thinner to wipe away the excess paint. Sometimes, depending on the type of paint, you can sand it away. Congrats on the build!!
Very cool project. I was looking at your fume extractor in the background and was thinking if you had a way to flip the fan when you where not welding it would become a spot cooler for the shop.
My sons and I had a great time building this! Great quarantining project! What size hole did you drill to hold the axes in the additional bracing 2x6? Thanks for a fun informative video!
Built a second one yesterday with help from your video. I didn't have the proper material for either of them but they both turned out beautiful. Awesome video. Clutch diameter would be a nice addition to the video description though.
Hi there! Great video! I worked for an axe throwing place in the twin cities and since then I have wanted to make my own target. When you replace your boards do you have to replace the plywood too? Could you let me know your process of how replacing boards go? Thanks again and awesome job!!!!
Sorry for the delayed response. Replacing the boards is quick. Simply unscrew from the behind the plywood, drop in a new board and screw it back together. The plywood rarely gets touched by the axe and using the same holes to replace the vertical boards keeps the plywood good as new.
Hey, I enjoyed this more than I thought. Just got some throwing Hawk sogs coming. Good reviews, kind of small. Wondered about making a Target, instead of trying to get disc from a tree. Kind of big, I make 1 with one less board. Again, pretty funny enjoyable
This was excellent, we threw our first axes yesterday and looking to make one at home to practice. Descriptions clear and concise with easy instructions. The added drama and music of the throws was an unexpected treat! What technique did you use for painting the bullseye. Thanks o much
Glad it was helpful! I put a nail in the center and tied string there and to a pencil and set the string distance where needed for the each part of the target

This is the best comment on here lmao!
This comment is 3 years old and I was casually looking up how to put together one of these for a batch party. Made me laugh out loud. :D
Great video, easy design and sturdy construction. I just built 2 of them and my family is loving it! Thanks
This is the greatest tutorial ever. I built this for my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. He fucking loved it! It was pretty difficult for a smallish girl to do but you made it easy. Thank you!
Excellent! I'm really glad you liked it and hope your boyfriend is loving throwing some axes :)

@@ArtfullyRogue , couldn't have done it without your instruction. Seriously, all the other videos on this topic kind of suck. Haha!
Do you still make these? And where do you ship to for free delivery?
@@tracyking3807 I've actually increased my prices since I posted this comment 2 years ago. But I'm near Greenville, SC and Asheville, NC.

My friends and I just got back from an axe throwing place and I am stoked about building a target. Thanks for the tutorial.
Just built it, works great and couldn’t find a better video anywhere else, Great Job 😊
That's great! Have fun it!
Awesome! Thank you for the reply! Got my weekend project.
Thanks for having fun doing this and spelling it out with clarity….. lol my husband is gonna be so excited when he wakes up to know I have a “project date for us”🤗…. The reward will be throwing axes…🤪. Thank you for sharing!
Its a great couples project for sure!
This was super helpful. So many videos are not clear about dimensions. ... and I totally love the hair swing and axe flip...badass
😄😊 thanks Krystal
One of the best “how-to” videos I’ve ever seen
thank you very much
My husband went axe throwing once and he absolutely loved it. I have copied your list (👍🏼) and I am about to go to my shop to build this for him. Thank you for the very specific instructions. 😁
Excellent. And if you have any questions feel free to reach out

Omg just found this gem...hilariously great slow mo! And thanks for the video. Exactly what I was looking for
Great video!
to the point and informative. I searched for the best instructions to build my axe target and yours was by far the best. Thanks Bro!
So glad it was helpful
Me and my dad are building this as a fun project and can't wait to use it! Couldn't find a better video!
Excellent! I love to hear that people are doing this project!
Congrats on double axe. Thanks for the helpful tutorial.
@@jameschudleigh8314 I'm glad it was helpful 👍
Great video, thank you! My 15 year old son and I built one over Christmas break. Our only modification was adding 2x6 at the base to make it square so we could add wheels. Turned out great!
Excellent! I love to hear stories of people building the axe target. It's been so fun to have around
We made this for my husband for Father’s Day! Thank you for the easy to understand instructions! You are amazing
You are so welcome! I love to hear stories about people making things, hopefully your hubby enjoyed it
Built this for a friends 50th. Now I need to build one for myself!
That's great!
Recognized you instantly on assembly required!! Watching now and pulling for ya!!
Haha cool, it was a fun build for sure
Great Video! Super easy to follow and straight to the point. The axe flip while walking was epic! I wonder how well it would hold up if made from PT lumber and kept outside in the backyard.
I think it would do fine. PT wood stay a bit wet which helps the axe penetrate
Great instructions. Bought the plans now have to get hubby to make me a target when the weather gets warmer.
Have fun! Its a fun project for sure
Fun and informative, thank you man! Gonna build a target soon and needed a rough idea of what to grab, I'll use your precise instructions.
Except for one detail!
Throwing line from 🎯 target?
Any clue?
Awesome video though!👍🏻
Thank you for this video! I did my 1st axe throwing on Thursday and had so much fun. Going to be building my own target in my backyard soon. Very helpful!
Glad it helped! Its a great way to have fun and sometimes relieve a little frustration
Outstanding video! Built one for my brothers birthday. Made a great gift
Love your method of instruction brother! SIMPLE
I appreciate that!
Good info in the video about center and dimensions! Thanks
Thank you for this video. I just got back from axe throwing for the first time and I'm totally psyched to make one!
That's exactly what happened to me. After my first time throwing, I had to build my own😊
Thanks for the great video! I can only 1x10 pine. Do you fir will be too hard?
It should be fine. The wood I'm using is also pine. I notice with the greener wood, the axe must be sharp or it won't penetrate the wood as deep
Looks like you got a great sense of humor, a good aditude, and can be pretty handy. You got my sub
Cool thank you so much!
When we got to the disco music portion of today's lesson, I had fond memories of early TH-cam...those light-hearted and carefree days before everyone was talking about "here in my garage" or the economic crash that is always just around the corner. Nice work on the target.
Cool thanks John
Entrance disco music is a must.
That was awesome! I am definitely building an axe target. Thanks for making it instructional and entertaining.
Cool thanks Brad for watching😊
You kicked axe with this video!
Simple and easy and sturdy.
Glad you liked it! thanks Scott
Masterfully constructed and high quality delivery. Great work!
Thank you kindly!
This video rocks!!! Also, thanks for the instructions.
Great video,I used this video as a guide to build a target, it worked great.
Excellent, glad it worked for out for you
Way to go. You crushed this video!
Thanks Donnie :)
Cool Idea Doug , looks like a Good Stress Reliever .👀👍
yes it is for sure!
Fricken awesome!!! In progress to make one!!!!! 🤘🏼
Excellent!
The slowmow walk to the shap with the music was my favorite part lol
Haha thanks
Thanks for the great DIY video. What did you use to attach the 45 degree supports to the 48" 2x4 base? I can see some kind of square in the video. Cheers
Awesome, mine is going to be outdoors so maybe treated lumber.
Good choice!
you get my upvote for the hair twirl alone!
haha excellent!
Great video - thanks - made the target board and just need to lag screw the side boards after a second coat of colors…
Good info! My wife has been wanting to do the ace competition at Saginaw days in Brooklyn Washington and this is information I needed thanks
Excellent and good luck with the competition
I have a few Viking axes, Think I’ll build me one of those, very cool!
Thanks, greatly appreciated
yo my uncle just asked me to build a target for axe throwing and honestly i had very little knowledge about the sport aswell as the dimensions to the target but i really enjoyed the video , yo that hair scene music and all , s#it was Funny ... aight
yo overall the video put me up on game !
Love how you used NATF dimensions! I’m a competitive axe thrower in two leagues
I didn't realize it even existed but so cool that it does!
Cool I started throwing And this is the first video I watched on it and have been doing it for a month and a half thanks a lot and have fun on your axis
You are awesome. I hope to see you at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival when it is open again in 2021.
Now that sounds fun!! I love Ren Faires!
Great video and instructions. About to build 2 of these. I like how yours look. Thanks again.
Thanks Mark👍😊
What length of 2×6 did you use for the side supports ? I love the way it came out..
They were 8ft
Oh my gosh...I hit the subscribe button at the hair toss hahahah! Love it!! Hahaha
Haha thanks...my cheesy Fabio moment 😊

Made this with my kids. Very easy but a lot heavier then I thought! Thanks for the video. Looks like it got a lot of uses.
Awesome video you have a new subscriber now keep up the great work
Thanks GC!

Will definetly do so. Thanks for the great video
just awesome!

You're great ! Loved your video. Want to get my son some axes and a board for his 21st Birthday .
Thank you so much. I'm actually working on a version that can be shipped and assembled. It should be ready in a week or two
Love your enthusiasm! I love axe chucking and plan on building something very similar to this...
Cool thanks KC, yeah it has been so much fun!
Great job!! Thanks for the harbor freight tip!!
OutF'ngStanding video!😃
Good video. I'll be building one soon using yr method
Thanks
I loved this video. I thought financially this sport was out of my reach. I learned a lot, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool project. I was looking at your fume extractor in the background and was thinking if you had a way to flip the fan when you where not welding it would become a spot cooler for the shop.
During the summer, that would be like using a hand held fan in an oven. This year I'm going big oversized evap cooler when temps hit 120 :)
Hi from the uk. Great video. I'll make one now. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Excellent it's great fun!!😊
At HD now getting all the stuff! Thanks for a great video!
Excellent! Have fun with the project!
Great video! Fantastic instructions and great presentation.
Cool! Glad you liked it 😁
Great video!
Just what I was looking for.
Your cool dude.
Cool, I'm glad you liked it Greg
omg that slow mo walk was just too good! xD
😄😄👍
My sons and I had a great time building this! Great quarantining project!
What size hole did you drill to hold the axes in the additional bracing 2x6?
Thanks for a fun informative video!
This is fantastic, thank you! My brothers and I have recently gotten into this and this will really help!!
You're so welcome! Its is great fun for sure
Great video. One question; the side post look about 10 feet tall. Those long sides...are they included?
The side post are actually 96" and yes they are included in the material list for the build
Sweet diy target! I am going to do this! Thanks for the help!
Cool! I love throwing axe during the day when I take breaks
Making it this weekend! Hope to make you proud!
Hope the build went well for you
Great video. Plan to build that target. Thanks
Cool its such a fun project!
love your personality a very enjoyable video
Right on!! 💫🪓🪓🪓
Thanks for watching!
We wanna built an axetrowing target as well but is it important what kind of wood you use for the target
I used pine for mine
Hey I used southern yellow pine for my target and I can’t get my axes to stick. Is that the kind of pine you used?
Thank you !! Great instruction video !!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video, Cool action hero slow-mo.
Haha yeah I had a little fun making this video
Awesome build and awesome video dude! Great work!
Thank you very much
This video was a huge help. Thank you!
Glad it helped! It was a fun project for sure
Built a second one yesterday with help from your video. I didn't have the proper material for either of them but they both turned out beautiful. Awesome video. Clutch diameter would be a nice addition to the video description though.
Thanks for the suggestion. I added the clutch diameter to the description, hopefully viewers will look there for more info
Thanks - great video - made it look easy
Thanks Brian
Thank you for making this video.
Heck yeah and it was a blast to make
Hi there! Great video! I worked for an axe throwing place in the twin cities and since then I have wanted to make my own target. When you replace your boards do you have to replace the plywood too? Could you let me know your process of how replacing boards go? Thanks again and awesome job!!!!
Sorry for the delayed response. Replacing the boards is quick. Simply unscrew from the behind the plywood, drop in a new board and screw it back together. The plywood rarely gets touched by the axe and using the same holes to replace the vertical boards keeps the plywood good as new.
Hey, I enjoyed this more than I thought. Just got some throwing Hawk sogs coming. Good reviews, kind of small. Wondered about making a Target, instead of trying to get disc from a tree. Kind of big, I make 1 with one less board. Again, pretty funny enjoyable
It a fun project for sure
Love your work
Thank you so much 😀
Yes, the hair toss was fierce. Way to serve your look! Also I want to make a damn target and throw some axes now!
Right! It's been great!
Great video! Great persona! Great info! Great information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just built it this last weekend. Great video.
Cool! Hope you have as much fun with it as I have
This was excellent, we threw our first axes yesterday and looking to make one at home to practice. Descriptions clear and concise with easy instructions. The added drama and music of the throws was an unexpected treat! What technique did you use for painting the bullseye. Thanks o much
Glad it was helpful! I put a nail in the center and tied string there and to a pencil and set the string distance where needed for the each part of the target
