And repeat this step for the screws in the middle The Fair Trade supplier reinvests their profits to provide workers and their families with healthcare, education and to help with sanitation

Extra for the long sides: make a groove right in the middle. The width depends on your material, for me it was 18mm. Next make 2 holes at either end of the sides to put the elastic/Bungee cord through. Note: Lumber dimensions are listed as nominal size. See lumber sizes for actual dimensions vs nominal. Probably the hardest part of this version is the centre piece: Make a ‘goal’ right in the middle of the piece with an opening of 50mm by 20mm. Bigger is easier, smaller is harder.Once everything is dry the last thing to do is wax the bottom piece, so everything slides as smooth as possible.

If you want extra strength you could add nails trough the bottom to secure everything even more. The centre piece: Make a ‘goal’ right in the middle of the piece with an opening of 50mm by 20mm. Bigger is easier, smaller is harder. That’s it for game set up. If necessary, give each player a wooden tension peg. These are used to temporarily increase the amount of tension on the elastic band if needed. Ben: Pitching our game to the Dragons on the BBC was fun. It was also pretty scary, but well worth it. Whilst we did not get investment from them, we did get it from someone we had previously practiced our pitch to, Streetbank founder Sam Stephens. We were in the Den for nearly two hours, with no notes, no prompts and 5 dragons firing questions at us with the odd theatrical explosion to boot.

Extra for the short piece: Round over the middle part so it’s easier on the touch while playing. Sanding the sharp corners will work just as well. Put the center piece and the shorter pieces at the right place, hold everything tight together and screw in the screws.
