Title: Ball Ramp Skill Game
Post by: pieter on March 11, 2020, 05:49:51 pm

When built, have you found the pivoting rod to block the first hole at the top?  Wondering if I am not building it correctly.  I could move the hole over 3/16"; jsut wondering if I am misinterpreting the drawings.

Plan on using it at our street 4th of July party for the kids or brave adult.

For those who missed it, Steve presented this pattern on Jan 21st:

Looking at both the pattern and Steve's build photos it does show that the pivot rod gets in the way of the first and last holes.  I haven't made one of these yet but I think that you are right in that it might not be as aesthetically pleasing but work better to move those holes a bit.

KCSteve, thanks for looking; pleased to hear I am doing it correctly and not mis interpreting the plan.  Will just move the holes over just enough to clear the dowel.  Game playes well as presented, but I may need to work on my eye hand coordination.
