Large Connect 4 Game

Thanks for posting, that is going on the list of things to make some day.

You’re welcome woodworkguyca. All dimensions originate from the diameter of the balls. Holes were cut with spiral bit and referenced off a bolt inserted into the router base to serve as the pivot point. Just leave four equally spaced short tabs to saw the circles out. If you need any other advice or help I’d be glad to share it.

Super cool. I’v always wanted to try one of these using the 6” wafers that get cut out when using a hole saw for cornhole boards, but never thought of using balls like this, though.

I’ll bet the kids really enjoyed it, looks like part of a game show!

Thank you Tooch and ChuckV.

Yes, its and all-night (8pm-6am) teens event produced by Word of Life Bermuda. It consists of a game show for 4hrs, a gospel message, all-you-can-eat pizza and soda, crazy gym games 3hrs and bowling 3hrs. We usually host around 300-400 teens. Quite a production that requires 80+ staff, we’ve been doing this event for over 20yrs.

The young lady painting the game had asked for this game two years ago but things never worked out. Finally, through the generous donations of our local big box store and a paint supplier, we were able to build it. It took about 4 days to build and longer to design and draw in SketchUp.

The teens enjoyed it, but I think the adults liked it even more. I employed my fathers philosophy of ‘over-engineering’ so that it’ll last for a long time. He used to build all the props for the event but passed several years ago. I’ve gladly taken over his role in this rewarding ministry.

Thanks again Lumberjocks for your kind words…they are very much appreciated.

Anthonyhbm Thank you for this post. Can I ask what type of balls you used & if you have dementions I can use to try this?

Hello Dsgnit8182, we chose to use 8.5-in diameter balls. We ordered them through one of our local schools. You can order them from a number of sources. Just search the internet for playground balls. www.gophersport.com is one option. Hope this helps.
