Step 8: Within one hour of applying Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2X, spray all sides of blocks and game board with Varathane Professional Clear Finish to seal and protect. Step 7: Use X and O stencils and Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2X to create X’s and O’s on the opposing sides of each block. Step 6: Apply two Varathane Ultimate Wood Stain colours of your choice to game board and blocks. Step 5: Using a Rust-Oleum Tack Cloth, wipe down the game board and all blocks to remove any sawdust. Step 4: Sand the game board with 120 grit sandpaper and all blocks with 80 and 120 grit sandpaper. Pro tip: Use extra wood the size of the spacers to stabilize pieces and ensure accurate measurements. Flip the game board over and add brad nails to the bottom for extra strength and durability. Create your first row by attaching two spacers at your marks with glue and brad nails, finishing with a long spacer attached perpendicular to the two spacers. Step 3: Begin filling in the game board with spacers by marking 3 5/8” from each end of the secured 12 3/8” frame edge. Attach frame to fibreboard base with wood glue and brad nails. Step 2: To assemble the game board, create 3 sides of your frame from the two 13 7/8” pieces and one of the 2 ½” x 12 3/8” pieces, attaching with wood glue and brad nails. You will end up with pieces for your frame, base, spacers and blocks.

Step 1: Cut wood to size as per plan from Her Tool Belt.
