Interesting study, the lift method definitely does show off the importance of wax! Seems like a lot of variables considering some pucks would slide while others remained put. It would be interesting to create some sort of flicking device that could be calibrated to flick with the same force every time. Then you could measure how far the pucks slide given the same flick. Could even patent such a device to sell to Crokinole tournament holders to verify proper board prep before games.

I’m really disappointed that the backers who ordered the boards first have to wait. It seems the elite boards were being pushed a lot harder. Think about the people who were expecting shipping of the regular boards first.wothout them, you probably could not do the elite boards this round. Very disappointing.

He was talking in the email that the standard factory was - not replying to invoice - taking longer to do the work - messed stuff up that had to be fixed (pegs in last email) why are you disappointed that cheaper work gives cheaper results that takes longer to rectify? You can usually choose 2 out of three: quick, cheap, good.
@bombconnery2 ай бұрын
I ordered the regular boards then he sent an email saying we could upgrade to the elite boards. He said the elite boards were better quality and would likely ship faster. So I upgraded. You didn't and that's fine. Is he supposed to spend money warehousing these boards and withhold them from their backers because your feelings will be hurt if you don't get yours first?

I have worked both assembly line & print shop jobs in my past, so nothing really surprised me about this video...UNTIL you panned upward & we got to see the use of the heat at the peak of the building, being used to dry/cure the coating on the boards. The whole zig-zag line of "Crokinole Gondolas" being "timed" before they descend to be processed-MIND BLOWN. Thanks SO much for giving us these inside details. It's so orderly & clever. Like that purple undercoat-it will give the colors greater lustre. Very well done.

@@sybrwookieI'm a GM at a textile manufacturer and we wouldn't be in business if we tried to manage the heat and humidity of our plant with AC instead of rotating people in/out of extreme areas, providing gatorade and electrolyte frozen popsicles, and providing them with uniforms designed to cool them. For some factories, heat & humidiity, is just part of the job and doesn't mean they are treating their workers poorly. That said, if you want to be concerned for the workers, I'd be looking at the lack of a workplace safety protocols or the enforcement of one if they have one. I'm no fan of OSHA (which I know doesn't apply here anyway) but they are working in Crocs, painting/sanding without respirators, and operating machinery without hearing & eye protection.

Two suggestions: 1. Please don't place the Logo on the playing surface, or any other inner part! 2. Maybe it's possible (if not too complicated for upgrading the orders), offering the Elite Board not only in orange-red, but in a few more colours to choose from? That would be absolutely fabulous!!!😊
