How to Make a Quarto Game

[@DNHandcrafted]

I've been working on my next video, and the build part of the video is finished! I still have a lot to do with the editing, but wanted everyone to know a second video is on its way! Thanks for all of the kind comments both on and off KZbin!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

This is FANTASTIC! Well made man!!

[@DNHandcrafted]

I Like To Make Stuff thank you so much for even taking the time to watch it! I never would have made a video had it not been for your channel!

[@Srindal4657]

I think games are going to play an even bigger role in our society in the nearby future. We are going to need as many games as possible to avoid boredom

[@cynthiastevens8367]

This was a fantastic watch! You did an awesome job! You never cease to amaze me!

[@johnneiner3170]

Well done, man!! Loved the 3D overlays to illustrate the game pieces -- super helpful.

[@DNHandcrafted]

John Neiner thanks man!

[@Kenfitzpat]

If this is your first video cant wait to see what's coming. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thank you so much Ken!

Another great vid! -Caleb Harris

[@3Godfree]

Doug, great video, and awesome job on the build.

[@JayBates]

Beautiful project and video. Very nice.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thank you so much Jay! I was really getting hung up on finding general background music I wanted to use, so I went back and checked your videos. That made me realize I don't have to have background music all the time - so you helped me without even knowing it!

[@SethMesser]

So good Doug! This turned out so well!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Hi Doug, I found your channel and video of the Quarto game on Jay Bates weekly list of "Interesting Stuff From Around The Web". For a first time video, I was thoroughly impressed with your ease in front of a camera. Also you Voice over was so descriptive and thorough, I'm going to make a go at making the game. I hope you put out more videos soon and I subscribed so I'll be notified of up coming videos. Way to go, and congrats on making Jay's list. Best I have seen in awhile. ~Dolly

[@DNHandcrafted]

CrossGrain Wood Products,LTD thank you for the kind words. And I'm thrilled you are going to make a Quarto board for yourself! I'd love to see how it turns out. Hopefully the printout with dimensions and template on my site are helpful for you too!

[@JotatoTV]

A new woodworker producing content! awesome!

[@PahjoDesigns]

Nice job, Doug! Great job on the video as well. Looking forward to your next video.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thanks so much Jeremy!

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

Can definitely tell you "worked at this with all your heart" :) Excellent video.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Tharemy Hopkins thank you so much! Glad you noticed the reference!

[@RevivedBuilds]

Great video Doug! Quarto is super fun. Definetly a game I should make. Thanks for the easy step by step process!

[@acerjuglans383]

Nicely made!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Keep it up Doug, your videos are so good.

[@DNHandcrafted]

+Wood.Work.LIFE. Thank you! Now that the stool video is out, I'm getting excited about starting the next build.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Good luck man! Keep rocking it, you are going to blow by me with your level of production quality.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really well made project and video. Enjoyed it. Looks like a fun game. My son really likes board games, so maybe I need to make this one.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Bruce A. Ulrich i hope you do! It is really fun to play. And thanks!

[@Huck249]

Nice project and you did a fantastic job on the video. Subscribed and hope you do many more.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thank you so much Earl! I really appreciate the encouragement! I am nearly done filming the next build, and I am moving on to editing. Hoping to have it out within the next week. Your shop looks awesome by the way.

[@TonatiuhMellado]

Que precioso video, todo, la iluminación, el audio, la manera en que presentas el proyecto, los tiempos, las tomas, transiciones, títulos, como dividiste las tomas frente a la cámara con las tomas de voz en off, todo, absolutamente todo precioso. Me suscribo

[@DNHandcrafted]

¡Eres demasiado bueno! ¡Muchas gracias por las amables palabras y por notar todos esos detalles en los que trabajé! Espero escuchar lo que piensas de los futuros videos que publico. (No hablo español, así que tuve que usar Google Translator, espero que esté bien)

[@pamil1923]

Thank you for the parts list!

[@DNHandcrafted]

You are welcome!

[@Dingbat217]

I have never heard of this game before but now I want to make it! Thanks for sharing the video! :-)

[@DNHandcrafted]

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we do! Its a great game to play because the rounds are relatively short, but still challenging.

[@willemkossen]

Nice project. Great video! Subscribed. (Found you through Jay Bates's mailinglist)

[@DNHandcrafted]

Willem Kossen thank you! I am super grateful to Jay for sharing the video.

[@JolienBrebels]

What a beautiful game and great video editing! You should have way more subscribers!

[@DNHandcrafted]

+Jolien Brebels thank you & thanks for the encouragement!

[@SmallShopWorks]

Amazing video! Nicely Done. Great camera work. Are your renders done in Fusion?

[@DNHandcrafted]

+Small Shop Works thank you for the kind words! I use Fusion for some modeling but my renders are done in Blender 3D. I think on this one I modeled the board in fusion and the pieces in Blender.

[@samvandenberg6730]

love the video, i might even build this game my self one day, with some slight ajustments ofcourse, i got some own ideas allready writen down, i have never seen any of your videos but i wil definetly keep watching. :)

[@julio.a.arango]

I really enjoy your videos, very cool. one of the things I like the most is that you give credit to the channels that inspire you, like "DiResta" or "I Like to Make Stuff". this is very important for the community. looking forward for your next video...

[@DNHandcrafted]

+Julio A Arango thanks! Sometimes I’ve absorbed knowledge and I can’t place the source, but I’ve learned so much from so many makers. Thanks for your kind words!

[@DIYMinded]

Great video! I have been making a game a day to pass time in lockdown. Subscribed

[@MichaelAllen22842]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thanks Michael!

[@smileyBA]

Excellent job, Doug! Are you using any particular types of wood? You mentioned oak and maple for scrap pieces, but I didn't catch it if you mentioned it for the actual board and game pieces.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Bette Anne Mellentine Thanks! And you are quite right --- oh well! I used Bur Oak and Black Walnut for the pieces shown most frequently in the video. The other pieces were Hard Maple and Cherry. The board was made from Red Oak.

[@andrewneiner2160]

how long did this take to edit? you did a great job keep up the good work!!!

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thanks buddy! I am not sure exactly, but hours and hours and hours. I was re-learning Premier Pro, and also learning how to use Blender for the few 3D models I used in the video. Then there was recording the voice over, etc. I think it would go a lot faster next time! (At least I hope it would).

[@TonatiuhMellado]

Estoy de acuerdo

[@donfillenworth1721]

Nice job! I had to subscribe!

[@DNHandcrafted]

Thanks Don!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Great video!

[@DNHandcrafted]

Make Build Modify thanks for watching!

[@youngfilmmaker9622]

Great video (and solutions for not having a lathe). Can't wait to try this!

[@DNHandcrafted]

+Chris Wayne thanks man! Let me know how it turns out!

[@FullSailDale1]

Hey, Doug... I notice you're using a Harbor Freight (Central Machinery) stationary belt sander. How do you feel about that unit? I've read both good and bad reviews, and I know you get what you pay for (especially at HF), but I'm wondering if it's worth the relatively cheap price. My 32 year old Shopsmith unit just gave up the ghost, so I need something, and the JET is -- at this moment -- out of my reach.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Hey Dale! You absolutely get what you pay for at HF, haha. I got this one on sale and with a discount I think, so didn't pay too much for it (Maybe around $60?). It wouldn't even start without help right out of the box. The belt tension was easy enough to adjust, even though I can still stall it with enough pressure (and it still needs help starting from time to time). However, all that being said, it does what I need and I use it all the time - though I am not sure the disc is 100% true/flat. I have an 80 grit disc and a 120 grit belt which works well for what I want without gouging the wood too bad. It was too aggressive with a 80 grit belt. To summarize, its currently working for me (I think I've had it about a year) - but your milage will vary :D

[@Kun373]

What kind of oil did you use?

[@Chirosecure]

Great video Doug. What equipment did you use to film the video, camera etc.

[@DNHandcrafted]

Malpractice Insurance thank you! I used a Nikon D3200 for this video. More recently I'm using a combination of the Nikon and the iPhone 6S for recording. Talking audio was recorded with a Blue Snowball.

[@rocherbotha4005]

Where is the centimeters

[@SethMesser]

Doug, random question, are you putting dust collection just to the fence/top of the router table or do you have dust collection going to the underside of the router table too?

[@DNHandcrafted]

Seth Messer just the top. The bottom is fully open and I just vacuum or sweep it up when I clean the shop floor. Dust collection is a few wet/dry vacs right now.

[@FishersShop]

Holy crap! Amazing photography, editing, and craftsmanship! My videos look like Skeeter the meth-head at the street corner slapped it together compared to this. Fantastic job!

[@DNHandcrafted]

Fisher's Shop haha, thanks for the compliments --- but your video made me want head out to the shop and make a spoon -- so it was very effective! Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos!!

[@FishersShop]

Btw, love the Colossians passage. Looks like we're brothers in more than just woodworking. :)

[@DNHandcrafted]

Fisher's Shop awesome Drew! So glad we got connected!

[@NicoLargi]

Hi Doug, Great job! I hate to say it but this is a worldwide copyrighted product by Gigamic - which they released in 1991 and is still on the market - it would be good to at least mention them. en.gigamic.com/game/quarto-classic

[@DNHandcrafted]

Until I read your comment, I didn’t even consider someone would think the game was original to me (and hopefully they don’t). On the printable rules on my site, I credit the author - but I’m embarrassed that information didn't make it anywhere else - it certainly wasn’t intended to be malicious. I’ve updated both my website page and the video description with information about Gigamic, Blaise Müller, and a link to the official game. Thank you for your comment!

[@Ziltoid_Knows]

Too bad I don't own any of those tools...😕

[@shantellamend8986]

Do it yourself, visit the Woodglut website and find out how.

[@mightybatillo]

Do you srll this? (:V)

[@DNHandcrafted]

+mightybatillo I don't have any for sale. Sorry!
