Crokinole Build Part 2 

I like that you let the viewer know various mistakes you made along the way so that we can learn from them!! I appreciate the extra effort in that regard 🙂

Nice work. Just wanted to comment that I was watching that glue bottle from the second it came on the screen. Great step by step and I love the accompaniment.

I’m starting my own board this weekend and I really appreciate you making these videos. Very informative and I would love to see more. You’re presentation style is outstanding. 👍👍

You Sir, have been the inspiration I needed to make my own board. I'm following your instructions and using your guide and I think it is coming out pretty well. Thank you very much!!

Well done! Love the boards - and the sound track.

I also chose to fill the grooves of mine with a home made wood filler from the sawdust of my base. It worked very well to add contrast to the playing surface. it was slightly tedious but the result was worth it for me only making one board.

Thank you for putting these videos together! I am building two boards right now and you provided some great points. I am working with veneer on one and that is a challenge.

Great video! I also watched the Shut Up and Sit Down Crokinole review and was inspired to build my own board. A couple of things that I did differently. I filled the grooves with clear epoxy but instead of covering the entire board with the epoxy I just poured a tiny bit in all of the grooves, let it dry and cure and then sanded it down to be even with the board. It was very messy but worked well. And for the round outside rail I was not brave enough to attempt boiling water and bending wood. Instead I was able to order something called Bendy Ply from my local wood shop. I think it was like 1/8" thick. So I did two layers of that Bendy Ply around the base. Worked really well. The Bendy Ply almost feels like thick paper. It can be challenging to work with. But after I glued two strips together it hardened up nicely. Overall a very fun project. Love your videos! The jig you made was genius.

Appreciate the video series. Will be attempting this project once the shop aka garage warms up a bit in the Spring.

Good Evening. I really enjoyed both your videos making this, thank you very much for sharing your process. Had a good chuckle when you explained how you chose epoxy. Subscribed and looking forwards to some other game builds :)

Thank you so much for these videos! They gave me a great starting point and great advice! I suggest an UR game board for your next project it's something I bet you could do in a couple hours.

Im 1/2 way through with my first board. Following your example very closely. I'm cutting the base into a hexagon so I don't have to soak and bend the wood. I went ahead and built 32 disks... yeah, definitely just order them! lol, my fingers are so sore from sanding! I don't have the proper 1/2 round router bit to form both sides of the disk, so only doing 1 side, then to the sander to get a bulk of angle, then hand sand to smooth... Whew, definitely just buy them, and I'm not even putting the convex concave faces on them. Anyways, great tutorial, very thorough explanations, and great music! :)

Absolutely amazing video!

Great videos!!! I like your style!

Terrific demo, wondering if I could achieve cutting large circles with a jig saw and a pice of string? And a paint pen and spinning the circle on the center axis... I’m a hand tool guy with a small apartment shop. Good call on the woodfiller. Really nice job on these boards, heirloom quality.

Amazing work!

FYI 5/32" or 4mm silicone vacuum tubing is perfect for bumpers. Cheap too. Don't bother with nylon spacers.

2:15 Polyester Resin is better for this than epoxy

Great video! Did you consider wrapping the rails around a smaller circle to get less spring back? Would that even work?

What kind of ply did you use for the board? Did you do anything to ensure it was dead flat (e.g. sanding).

Great video, did you apply the sanding process of using dry and wet sanding to the decks you polyurethaned or just to the ones you used epoxy on?

Used a template to cut my play surfaces, now I wish I just put a hole in the center for my circle jig lol. That centering jig, plus doing the point lines all use a center hole anyway. 🤦‍♂️

The rail has me stumped... Well, let's say I don't wanna "experiment" with my maple 1x2 lol. I think two 3/16" slats seems easiest. Butt joint looks good but seems like it'd be hard to line them up perfectly. Do they *need* soaked to bend? I see these name brand boards achieving a "two slat" style rail, but it's basically plywood or a lumber core veneer. I can't imagine plywood or veneer rails being soaked, surely they don't play well with water?

This is super cool, now I kind of want to build one. But I gotta know... why are there 13 purple discs?!

Good job. What kind of wood did you use for the rails? What kind of ply?

Great video. The only downside that you set a bad example by not using gloves (and probably no respirator) when working with epoxy.

Maybe I missed it in the video, but what wood are you using for the rails?

Do you really need to sand epoxy to get the extremely slick top?

Does it matter if the grooves are not filled flush with the playing surface? How much does a narrow, shallow groove affect play, if the surface is smooth and well waxed?

Why do you cut grooves? Why not just paint the lines, or use a Sharpie and then finish over that?

Hi there! Do you sell the boards? Can you pass me the price? I live in Uruguay.
