Those games are definitely precious heirlooms and I hope you are able to hang on to them for a very long time. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your story. It's appreciated.
What a great looking Tic TaK Toe board. Another build designed with the precision of a model maker. I like it. I like it a lot and I can imagine that this is something my granddaughter is going to want to make once lockdown is over. So now I had better go and make some scrap. Thanks again Kenny!
Great simple little project. Would make a great gift or item for selling at craft shows. Could be batched out in little time and material. Thanks for another great video Kenny .
You're very welcome Wayne. I couldn't agree more that you could easily whip off a dozen of these in a couple of hours. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
Great video. Will make this for my grandkids. Question? Is the walnut trim around the board cut so it is flush with the top or slightly raised above the main board?
Kenny, neat little project. I can always tell walnut because it is a dark wood, I can tell maple because it is light and hard without a lot of grain. Cherry is also easy, it is the one with the burn marks where it was cut...lol. Seriously I really like this project and really like the method you used to store the marbles and attach the end cap....really clever.
That cherry does like to burn doesn't it. LOL. Doesn't matter how sharp your blade is or how well your saw is setup, if you pause for one split second....BOOM....it burns. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Paul and for the kind words on the show. It is very much appreciated as always.
Great design Ken. The storage part was "Most excellent Garth" lol. Thought for sure you were gonna use golf tee's with the forstner bit dimple. Danish oil is great, the way the colors deepen over time. Another good one bud. Peace and stay safe.
Glad that you liked the project Dale. It truly was a ton of fun to make. Mind you though, I say that about every project. LOL. Thanks for tuning in man and taking the time to leave me a comment. It's very much appreciated.
Looks great! I do have a question. Would you be concerned at all with wood movement and glueing the frame to the solid wood game board? Or is the board small enough to not matter?
If this were a table top Trey, I might have a little bit of concern. But with a project this small, I have no concerns at all. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great project Ken, qq for ya... Maybe someone already asked but I'm curious how you lined up the magnet wholes on the frame and game-piece (prior to drilling and then drilling them)?
It's just a matter of careful measuring, centre punching and drilling Ed. No magic here for this one. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
While watching I was thinking..."wouldn't it be cool to have holes on the sides and to use marbles and have magnets latching the side holes?"....then you just created my thoughts into reality. Making this exact thing tomorrow. Thanks man!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. About a week ago I saw this video the first time, and did not put a comment, neither I gave you a thumbs up. Done now. For Christmas 2020 I made a tic-tac-toe board for our daughter. She liked it very much. But it was an other construction. I like this one better. Maybe I'll try it one day. I'm very intrigated by the clamping system you have at the edge of your desk. Do you have a video about it?
Thanks for the kind words on the show Hans. I use several clamping systems during this video. One of them was a shop made frame clamp which you can find on my channel here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lVeBlRzexK8.html The other is a quick release wonder dog clamp. They are made by Veritas and you can find them here. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/workbenches/benchtop-accessories/74622-veritas-quick-release-wonder-dog?item=05G1030 I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comments. I truly appreciate it.
Steve, I use a Jessem Mast-R-Lift Excel II table and fence with the Jessem Mitre Slide. It is a solidly built table, fence and lift and if you are interested in it, I have an assembly video on the channel here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nkdCcK_nM9o.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oEOIS61_7r4.html I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
It's just a matter of careful measuring Dave. That was the method that I used here. Dowel centres are also a good way to mark the alignment. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show. Here's a link for the dowel centres. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/marking-and-measuring/marking-tools/44995-dowel-and-tenon-centers
This turned out very nice Ken. Do uou thingbthat the magnetic forces are so great that the CA glue will fail in a short period of time? If so would epoxy be a stronger substitute ( such as the gorilla two part epoxy that is easily available at hardware-big box stores for about $5.00 US. )
I have never had a closure like this fail at the glue joint when using CA glue. Epoxy is a fine substitute if you had any concerns. As for me, I've never had an issue. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show Mike.
