ℹ️ How to make a COIN HOLE desktop game from scratch in Lightburn!

[@chrissyg3357]

Hi from germany! I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU!!! to you, Rich. Your videos are amazing! I‘ve learned so much from your tutorials and it‘s always both, interesting and entertaining to watch your lightburn-lessons! All the best and keep going, you‘re doing a great job !

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like them Chrissy!

[@davidelder5399]

Great tutorial, as always. Nice design looks like a fun game. Happy belated birthday, Rich

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks a bunch David! 👍

[@ValricoDave]

Nice project Rich, Thanks. Rather than moving pieces out of the way, I just turn off the output on the layer.

[@hound696]

yeah me too. much easier

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yeah, the final project has the pieces on a separate layer to do just that.

[@swishair]

Thanks Rich, another great design and video. I think I am going to make a box to keep the game all together after play.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I did make one in the livestream.

[@Jay.C.H]

Thanks for the download. This should be a big hit on our weekly get together game nights.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

We're loving it!!

[@veralopez2681]

Thanks Rich, Happy Be-lated Birthday. I actually bought your file and it was worth it. Thanks

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Awesome! 👍 Thanks so much!

[@ralphgaskill9466]

Thank you for all your videos . i've learn more from watching and rewatching your videos .

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Awesome Ralph! 👍 Thanks for watching!

[@JAWSFREE]

I wonder if there is a way to incorporate a way to latch the boxes together? I am picturing the boxes flipped and oriented to make a box that you could store the game pieces in for a travel set. Would have to figure a way to keep the pieces from falling out of the holes. OH well just thinking out loud. Great design.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I made a box for it in the livestream last Sat night.

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f]

Belated B'Day wishes Rich, Instead of the exacto knife to get your parts out, I prefer to wrap a bit of tape sticky side out around a couple of fingers, Then you just tap the part and lift it away from the backing sheet. Less risk of an accidental slip of the what will be a template back board.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks! I do that quite a bit with Gorilla tape.

[@karlriley1314]

Thanks. This WILL be a big hit on the week-end. Thanks again. Great stuff.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Enjoy Karl!

[@xotmc]

Happy belated birthday and thanks for the file.🎉

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you, and YW! 😃

[@JAWSFREE]

When I need to flip items in this sort of project I usually use a piece of 2 inch masking tape to pick up the pieces to flip, provided my cut settings were successful.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I prefer to pick them out and lay them directly over on their side. This way the line up perfectly on both sides and go into the same holes.

[@jnbff10]

If you have the Roly Mk2 you can pick the board up, pick the pieces up, put the board back, and put the parts back in. I’ve done 3 with no issues

[@luvwud]

Thanks Rich, happy birthday and glad your better. Geoff

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Many thanks Geoff! 👍

[@davidzabel53]

Thank you Rich, great little game

[@kiehamilton134]

Great project, thank you very much. Waiting for your next video.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

More to come!

[@flakk1989]

Once again, very good tutorial and great tips. Thank you so much for the free file!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@slhasebroock]

Thanks Rich, will be fun!!!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Have fun with it!

[@karlaname9902]

Thank you! This will keep my grandkids busy for hours LOVE IT

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Mine are loving it! Even more than their electronics!

[@omache62]

Hey Rich, Have the same sheets you used, but my fit was a little loose, is there something in LB that I can change to make the tabs and slots tighter without messing with the file?

[@CuttingEdgeLaserEngravin-gu5uk]

Look at his video for kerf offset. The name is "Understanding your laser Kerf and how to set it up for perfect cuts!"

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You can use a kerf offset on the laser or you can also use the resize slots and tabs feature in Lightburn.

[@jessetutterrow4320]

Thanks for the video! Going to get the file.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Enjoy Jesse!

[@williamwright5891]

Great idea and video. Thank you for the free download.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching William!

[@woodworkergene5416]

Thank you Rich for the video tutorial, and for the free file.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You bet!

[@DavidJohnson-sv7mg]

Can't wait to make it, but a quick question. It looks like inside your enclosure you have a bottle of dielectric grease, what do you use that for?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It's outside, on the table. I use that to grease the linear rails when I do cleaning and maintenance David.

[@stevewoodrich5130]

This is very cool. Do you think you could design a box for these two games to fit in?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I already did in the Livestream Saturday night.

[@stevewoodrich5130]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thank you I made the boxes for the ones I've made. This is a really cool idea.

[@jayvanhoesen]

So fantastic. Thank you. Happy Belated Birthday. I guess from now on, I should watch the whole video before I jump on the site to purchase the plans. Had already purchased and downloaded while watching the video before you showed the discount code! Oh well, Love your work Thank you again

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Gotta look for those hidden messages Jay! 🤪

[@jayvanhoesen]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Yeah, I know. It's all good!

[@stevespringer8385]

Great idea. Thanks Rich.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You bet Steve!

You are a gent, thank you for the file.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're welcome Russ, enjoy!

[@michaels-dk]

thanks you for the file - apriciate it

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You bet Michael, enjoy it!

[@belladecoitalia]

Hey rich me a bit late, but I really would love to have the file to create on for my nephew for school holidays, I tried with the coupon but expired 😢

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, the coupon has expired.

[@zina6581]

Thank you so much! 😃🥰

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@Warped1369]

If you make a storage box to put it all in, you can stand the top & bottom on edge a few inches behind the ramp to use as a backstop to keep the "coins" from skittering/rolling off of the table, so you won't need to crawl around on the floor to find them for the next round of play. P.S. : Did anyone get the coin to go through the slot yet? ...seems pretty unlikely due to the clearance tolerances.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Nope, nobody got it in the slot... yet!

[@johndiego3105]

I thought there was a link to this particular brand/size of plywood 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This is the link in the description: amzn.to/3KCDWIU

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

Cool game! I wanted to see you play!!!! I bet it is near impossible to get the chicken dinner lol Gotta make some :)

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It wouldn't play on the pressboard workbench Mike. All of the pronounced grain made the coins bounce in all directions except straight!

[@guynotes777]

Just grabbed it..want to support you and this channel..thanks so much...omg..just paid for it..oh well still thanks

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Hope you enjoy it! I know you will.

[@hardshellwoodworks]

Cool version on a popular game and happy birthday! Sanding doesn’t seem to work well for me either🤣

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks!

You need to make *a bunch of them* George!

[@thelaserbelle]

Love your videos! How do I get this file for free? I tried logging into your site but not able to enter the coupon code.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I don't know why, 645 folks have used the coupon code already.

[@thelaserbelle]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thank you. I figured it out. FYI did you realize coinhole is trademarked?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

coinhole and pocket coinhole are the trademarks. Mine is not one word.

[@jnbff10]

Nice. Gonna see some gambling in the future. lol. What size did you make the hole and slot.

[@jnbff10]

Happy birthday

[@jnbff10]

Worked perfectly on the Roly 30w

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Hole is 33mm, coins are 25 and the slot is 27x4.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like it!

Thanks! 👍

Where do you get your wood for $1.25. I costs me $2.50 a sheet, that’s the best I can find.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

amzn.to/44vnVNv

[@jackroberts8432]

$.62 each? Where are you buying your wood? Wow. Also you are not taking into consideration the cost of laser operating time which can be $.50 - $1.00 a minute.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This is the wood I mentioned: amzn.to/44vnVNv And I don't count laser operating time, since it's 99% unattended and running in the background. I was talking material costs Jack.

[@johndiego3105]

Wow! Absolutely brilliant!! My theory is still holding true, the more I watch the smarter you become 😊

[@andrewvanderweg5075]

DNNER! ... 🤦
