Make sure you go by the Gerst Haus. They started brewing their own beer in the 90s. My last Operations Strategy class at Vandy was in the bar there

Coming soon to a city near you.

Wait, are you guys looking to run an axe throwing business for hire at bars?
That and a physical location once we find one that finally works

YES!!!
Drunk strangers throwing axes!
Back when I was about 20 years younger, we used to do a bit of that in the hills of Vermont.

It is actually fairly amazing no one ever got hurt. As the time would pass, s*** would start flying all over.And your best friend, Lefty, was State Champion

Thought. When thrown, an ax tends to rotate about a roughly horizontal axis (like a wheel).
Your targets are constructed with the boards running vertically. Therefor the seams and the wood grain will be taking hits in such a manner that they will be prone to splitting.
the axes might embed themselves better, but I suspect the life of your targets will be greatly decreased.
Aside from the logo at the bottom, any reason you can't rotate 90*?

There is a National Axe Throwing Federation that we are discussing with about joining once we open. We set up our targets to meet their specifications.

Fair enough, I'm sure they know more about it than me.
I doubt the physics on an axe landing in a board was discussed when they started this while drinking beer.
That's awful. Can't imagine what that family is going through.
No Segway possible. Sorry....
Anyone have a good website for calculating structural strengths of lumber and plywood? I'm going to build a platform for a bed for my trailer that I need to be very light but strong enough to have no central support.
Span is 56"
Platform is 56x74"
First thought is 1/4" plywood sheeting on a 1x1 outer frame with 12" on center 1x1 'stringers'. Using 2x1" vertical supports on the edges. Very lightweight but will it be strong enough? I.e.: bowing.
The Other thought is to forgo the frame and just get a thicker plywood base. But for that 56" span how thick should I go to avoid bowing? 3/4"? 1"?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks for any guidance.
