To make sure all the tubes are cut at an even angle, create a template from scrap wood. Using a circular or miter saw, cut two pieces of wood at a 35-degree angle. Screw these boards to a 4-1/2" wide piece of lumber so that the angled edges form a diagonal line.
Cut tubes to the following sizes (all measurements are taken from the highest point):
Row 4 - four pieces at 6-1/2"
Row 3 - three pieces at 10"
Row 2 - two pieces at 13-1/2"
Row 1 - one piece at 17"
To avoid extra cuts, measure from the straight edge of the tube to the desired height, place that mark on the lowest edge of the template, and using a handsaw, cut the tube at an angle. This will give you your first piece. Next measure the height you want from the top of the angle that is still attached to the length of the tube and cut a straight edge, this will give you your second piece. Repeat these steps until you have all ten pieces cut.
Lay your pipes on a level surface in a pyramid shape with the tallest at the back. Use a marker to mark where the pipes intersect. Then use a pencil to draw lines from those marks along the sides of each tube. Mark the hole locations by measuring from the flat edge of the pipe to the following points:
Row 4 - 3" for all holes
Row 3:3" for front holes, 5" for side holes, 7-1/2" for back holes
Row 2:7-1/2" for front and side holes, 9" for back holes
Row 1 - 9" for front holes
Drill holes where you made your marks. Be sure to check that the holes line up as you go.
Run painter's tape around the inside edges of the pipes and fill the holes with paper. Paint each row a different color. Optional:You can also paint a stick to serve as a throwing line and tennis balls to coordinate with your game.
Place point numbers along the top of the inside edge of each pipe. The highest will be marked 100, row two will be 50, row three will be 25, and row four will be worth 10 points each.
Put the tubes together and secure them by passing the bolts through the drilled holes. Apretar a mano todas las tuercas para un buen arreglo cómodo.
Coloque el palo de la línea de tiro entre 6 y 15 pies de distancia de las tuberías, cuanto más lejos, más difícil es ganar. Cada jugador se para detrás de la línea y obtiene tres tiros por turno. El primero en anotar más de 100 victorias.!
