Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Mount the US500 Carbide Wood Cutting Wheel onto your Dremel Ultra-Saw tool. Measure and mark the 3/4" plywood to 4' x 4'. Clamp the wood and cut along your marks. Note that our instructions are for one horseshoe pit. If you'd like to create more than one, adjust the supplies as needed and complete each of these steps for the additional pits.

STEP 2

Step 2

Measure and mark the 4" PVC so that there are two 42" lengths and a 30" length. Using the Ultra-Saw and US500 wheel cut through the PVC along these marks to create three separate tubes of PVC. Fit your cut pieces into the two 90 degree PVC elbow fittings to form the "U" structure of the horseshoe pit frame. When fitting the tubes into the elbows make the 30" piece of PVC the centerpiece and have the two 42" pieces serve as the sides.
