The Woodshop Shed

Backgammon board is done!!

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I finished it this weekend.

Some of the miters aren't perfectly tight (although there are splines there that you can't see for reinforcements) and the flocking came out not as thick as I had hoped (you can see what looks like worn spots in the trays). Those are 3 magnets used to keep it closed. Had 2 originally, but added the 3rd for insurance.

Also in the picture the chips don't look all that contrasting but they are. Funny, but when I first turned the cylinder for the chips and chopped them "meat cutter" style, they turned out too think for the trays and the case wouldn't close. I then turned another set of blanks but when I finished those, they were too close in color! 3rd times a charm! (and I didn't even venture to the plumbing aisle, but I think the plumbing gods had a say in it!). So now I have 30+ left over chips of each color. Thought about creating a checkerboard insert, but the dividing halve would make it a little awkward to play checkers, no?


(do I have the game set up correctly in the last shot?)

Anyways, on to the next project!!
