How to build a Giant Jenga set

There are many different types of wood you could buy to make a giant jenga set.  The cheapest though would be just standard 2x4's from your local hardware store, probably come in lengths of 8 feet.

You need 54 pieces to probably stack the blocks.  If each block is a foot long, then you would  need 7 - 2"x4"'s that are 8' long.  The easist way to cut would be to use a miter saw, so you can set the exact length each time.  If using a manual saw, then your edges  might not be even, but it would still work.

After you have all your pieces, it would help to sand them down to make the smooth to slide in and out.  Once sanded remember to wipe them down or else the sawdust will cuase friction and make it harder to slide them out.

Giant Jenga First Timer!

So today was my first day playing the game, Giant Jenga!  After my experience I am hooked.  I'm not excited enought to spend a $100 bucks on a professional set, but I was excited enough to come home and google more information about it.  In doing so I realized there was not a lot of information out there, so I wanted to start this site to add a source of information that I can accumulate about this new excited game, Giant Jenga!

I'll be back soon with more info, on rules and games, and how to build (cheaply)
