Always work in patent leather flip flops 🙂 I think my friend took a lesson from me in her work attire. But using the palm sander worked just fine as well. I’m so glad that my daughter and her hubby bought me the orbital sanderfor Christmas.

We played a little sander musical chairs. Then those were passed along to the other two and they got another pass with 120 Grit sandpaper. Working together with my friend and my hubby we started with 60 Grit on the bench sander. He said he doesn’t really use it so I can keep it at our house until he does 😀 It’s 20 years old and it’s a beast. I was blessed that my brother “lent me” his bench sander. Lock the fence into place and proceed to cut the rest of your pieces. It’s always best to be a bit longer and cut off a bit more. You can practice this step on scraps and make necessary adjustments. Adjust the fence of the miter saw until the non-moving saw blade lines up with the pencil mark. Place the 2×4 on the miter saw and against the wood block. When you’re ready to cut the pieces measure and mark the 2×4 at 10-1/2″. Alternatively you could also use a clamp. But not long enough to stick out too far. Make sure you use screws that are long enough to pass through the metal and into the wood. The have holes in them and, they usually slide out to adjust for varying cut lengths.Īnyway, find a piece of scrap that has a square end and attach it to the fence from the back. On your miter saw look at your fence (that’s the vertical part at the back.

It’s not super important that your lengths be exact, but if you’re OCD like me I’ll show you how to how you make them exact. (who’s idea was it to actually make them smaller than the name? #truthinmarketing?) The 2x4s are cut to 10-1/2″ because three 2x4s side-by-side measures 10-1/2″. Are you wondering why jenga pieces are 10-1/2″? Set up your miter saw and cut all your pieces to 10-1/2″. But you’ll likely have some areas you want to cut around, such as knots or gouged areas.

Mathematically you’ll get 9 giant jenga pieces from each 2×4 and that equals 6 2×4 boards.
