Beautifull board.only un playble where to throw the dice.the Will roll of the board

[@hesswoodwork]

Thanks! I guess you will have to pick the dice up off the floor.

[@TheStimuli]

Nice woodwork but the dice just roll off the board since it’s not in a case?

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you! This is how they wanted it.

[@hesswoodwork]

Do you like this design?

[@kevinengelbrecht8117]

Yes, it's brilliant! Looks African

[@andy1way]

No. It is totally impractical.

[@davidlocker9534]

How did you make the triangles? I'm in the middle of making a folding case board with my son........making small triangles with a high level of accuracy and repeatability is not easy. I ended up making a table saw fixture, but my saw is 40 years old and my tolerance is about 1/16". Add those together and I have ended up with 4 playing surface pieces that are not identical. How did you solve for this? CNC?

[@backgammonskillset]

Make a pattern/mold and shave and sand each until they fit perfectly.

Nice. I hate rolling on wood tho. If I owned a board like this I’d put down a spongy acrylic sheet over it (to protect the finish as well)

[@godisgood2919]

Very unique! Very cool!

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you!

[@backgammonskillset]

Love the finish. These videos never capture just how many hours it takes to complete a project like this.

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you! Yes!

I don't doubt your woodworking skills - but I think your customer should have looked at a few backgammon boards before placing their order. No sides, no bar... perhaps a nice decoration but not for actually playing on.

[@hesswoodwork]

The customer loves it.

[@agerray]

The customer is always right!

[@TRTS100]

Oh, i would love a solid BG board like this one. Nice work.

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you!

[@Ferncraft.Pembrokeshire]

superb work love the simplicity of table saw jig. do you have the angles for the blocks to cut the triangle please? struggling to get these set right to cut perfectly and fit together.

[@hesswoodwork]

Thanks! Sorry, I only made this once and I do remember exact angles. It was a lot of trail and error.

[@EricPetersen2922]

That’s very nice 😍😍

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you!

[@michaelharris4218]

[@hesswoodwork]

Thank you!

[@chrisbouziotas6859]

I can't figure out how to set the angles on my sled to make the wedges?

[@hesswoodwork]

I did guess and check

[@chrisbouziotas6859]

@hesswoodwork ok I guess I'll do the same. Making me work! Lol

[@Q14786]

Worlds best ????????

[@graff-philkoff17]

Why it's world best??? Just change the title.

[@MarinaMcGrath]

Not practical. Needs to fold, where do you put the counters & dice? Good skills, bad execution
