With summer vacation in full force, I need to lure my kids into the ultimate hobby! Wargaming! First victim, my son Jake. Age 10. Obsessed video gamer. Unlikely candidate for the rigors of wargaming, but I’m going to give it I try!

Finally a Bridge, Completed
The bridge is finally complete!!!
The hand lines are each made from 4 feet of 20 gauge steel wire. Formed into a loop, it was then twisted to create a rope like length. Twisted around the support logs and secured with some magnet wire, the “ropes” hold their shape and I believe will hold up to the abuse of the game table and my kids. Next, I looped a length of twine from the hand line down to the bridge logs.
A Bridge still Too Far, but getting closer
Still working on the bridge… Well, the landings actually. See previous work here. I attached the 2×4 lumber to MDF bases. Next I shaped some foam with my trusty foam cutter and glued that around the lumber.
