diy kubb set

After a visit to England, I had the pleasure of playing this awesome game and decided I'd like to play it back home. After a bit of a sticker shock after seeing it on Amazon, I decided that it would be easy enough to build my own set. I enlisted the help of a friend and set out to the hardware store.  I would recommend buying a little bit extra, but overall the materials came to around $18. I recommend having a mitre saw, circular saw, and either a good supply of sandpaper or a floor sander handy. Below is a picture of the final product. To build your own set, just read the directions below and find out what works for you.
