A ‘2×3’ board that you buy is actually 1.5 inches thick, 2.5 inches wide and we can cut them 7.5 inches long…perfect! The traditional Jenga pieces are 1.5 cm thick, 2.5 cm wide and 7.5 cm long, making the jumbo jenga pieces couldn’t be simpler using 2×3 boards. You can totally play the traditional way too. They will roll and whatever color it lands on, they have to move a block of that color. Each side of the dice (die) is a different color and there is a corresponding set of blocks in each color. The roll ‘n go version puts a fun twist on the game, and I kept it simple for my young kids. I thought it would be fun to make a giant sized version for the yard with a ‘throw ‘n go’ option (I’m calling it Roll ‘n Go). It is a great way to add that special touch to a woodworking project.Hi, I’m Amy and I love to build things and share plans at Hertoolbelt! My kids love to play the traditional Jenga.

Do be sure to check the block occasionally to ensure it hasn’t been bumped from the 10 ½” you set it away from the saw blade. Next, set the depth setter on the saw to allow it to cut only through the 2×4 and not through the scrap piece of material that you clamped to the saw.Ĭut the Western Red Cedar deck boards into 54 pieces. By butting the end of the board into the block each time, you will be cutting a perfect 10 ½” piece each time. To create the jig, measure 10 1/2 inches from the saw blade and screw a block into the scrap piece that the edge is 10 1/2 inches from the saw blade. Have at least a foot of the scrap piece go past the saw blade. Measure once! Start by creating a jig for the Chop Saw by taking an 8 or 10-foot scrap piece of material and clamping it to the saw.
