The video “Wall Ball Game” is by Waterfall Woodworking. Kelley, the creative mind behind Waterfall Woodworking, introduces an exciting DIY project that combines fun and functionality. This wall ball game is not only easy to construct but also provides endless entertainment for all ages.

To bring this project to life, you’ll need two pieces of half-inch plywood and a few 2x4s. Kelley starts by measuring and cutting the plywood to the desired size using a table saw. The size is flexible, allowing you to customize it to your preferences.
Next, Kelley cuts the 2x4s for the legs, making them six feet long, ideal for adult players. After cutting, the legs are aligned with the plywood to measure the top and bottom support pieces, which are then cut at the miter saw.
With the support pieces traced onto the plywood, Kelley ensures no holes are drilled where the 2x4s will be placed. The winning hole is strategically positioned in the center of the board, just a few inches from the top.
For the drilling process, Kelley stacks and clamps the plywood pieces together, using a three-inch hole saw and a two and three-quarter inch drill bit to create the holes. Kelley emphasizes the freedom to add more holes later to increase the game’s difficulty.
After drilling, it’s time for some optional spray painting. Kelley chooses two different colors for the legs and the game face, adding a personal touch to the project. Once the paint dries, the legs and support pieces are screwed into place on the plywood.
To connect the two sides of the game, large door hinges are attached to the inside top support pieces, allowing the game to fold up for easy storage and mobility.
The ball holders are crafted from scrap wood, drilled with two and three-quarter inch holes, and sanded for a smooth finish. To prevent the ball holders from sliding, Kelley fills the space with scrap plywood, securing it with a brad nailer.
Eye hooks are used to hold the string, screwed into the top corners of the game and the sides of the ball holders. Kelley opts for heavy-duty string to prevent snagging, tying it to the ball holders with slip knots for easy adjustments.
The final step involves tying rings to the ends of the string, providing handles for players. And just like that, the game is ready for action! Inspired by the popular Survivor challenge, this DIY wall ball game is a fantastic addition to any backyard summer event.
Kelley’s project not only brings joy but also showcases the creativity and simplicity of DIY woodworking. It’s an engaging activity that promises laughter and fun for everyone involved.
