My son just turned 25 and bought his first car using his own money. He has never been mechanically inclined or seemingly interested in making anything but a few weeks back he asked if I could make an Axe throwing target. I said that I would help him make it. He surprised me by saying yes. Today we finished building it. I still don't think he is a convert to being a builder but he did learn how to use a screw gun and a skill saw and I got to spend some quality time with him. Priceless.

Nice target. My only suggestion would be to glue up a bunch of short 4x4 so you are sticking the axe into the end grain.

We have an axe-throwing bar (beer and blades - what could go wrong?) near us. I've only been there once, but I think that's what they have.

OP: Good job! As you say father/child time is priceless!
