Take one side of the cookie off,
Get a chess board,

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've realized it from watching this and a lot of other woodworker and maker channels. I don't like when youtubers use CNC machines. I like to watch YOU work. I especially feel this way the CNC is used for things which can be done without it. I understand having one as a maker is a must, but I'd like to see it used on projects which could not be done without it. There is a point between watching someone work with only hand tools and watching a completely automated system, that a channel becomes more about the machines than the work, or the person behind the tools. I feel the CNC is that point. Know it's only my appreciation for this channel that made me want to let you know. Thanks, Bob.

the songs you use are awesome, also love the way you advertise your sponsors, non invasive and even has a timer for us to skip or watch them, keep up!

After leaving my trade of cabinetmaking to work in different area of employment, I like watching these videos. Brings back memories and makes me want a backyard setup later on

I like the fact that you aren't afraid to say you did something wrong. but at the end you make it work....

[JamesDailyTV]

For the pieces, you could buy a couple alternating colors of dowels and chop them down using a bandsaw and a stop block.. that might be less work.... maybe?

[jannfreiwald]

Hey, great video as usual. I'm really impressed how the production value of your videos increased over the years and how comfortable you got with speaking to a camera, making it really pleasant to watch. Keep it up!

I bet a dark wood filler may have given a nice pop between the gameboard squares, and it may have been easier to work with. Awesome project as always, Bob!

[JackmanWorks]

Awesome! This is a project everyone should build. I made one of these back in high school and it was such a great learning experience for a bunch of different woodworking techniques.

[ryan]

Bob, you're just like the rest of us, which I think is great. You try stuff, you adapt, you redesign, and you make it up as you go. Great video, and a great project. Keep them coming!!

Ah man! Happy flash back! Rainy days at a friends summer house during those magical teenage summer breaks when it never rained ... except when we played Othello ... or was it the other way around or something ...

Just recently discovered this channel so just now seeing this. Looks fantastic!

Several years ago I found some wood faux mosaic tiles at a craft store and worked up a photomural backsplash for our kitchen. I haven't seen those since, but watching you cut the lines in the board it occurred to me that you could use a similar method for replicating the tiles in plywood. I'll have to remember this in the future!

Great ideas, seems like a lot of work but the final product looks amazing. Thumbs up for all original projects you come up with every week, it's truly refreshing and enjoyable to watch.

[spakeschannel]

Nice thing. Could improve it by adding something that will hold boxes in one piece.

[darkjr]

I love this way to present sponsors ! The best one I think :)

[klonex]

lmao... that face when sanding down all of those circular pieces(4:28), priceless. Great job of the game board.

[MattHeere]

A hole saw in the drill press (or even a corded hand drill) is probably an easier game piece option than jig/band saw for the non-CNC folks.

[MakingSawdust]

Great video! fun project! I'm glad you showed sanding down the the circles after they were cut out with the CNC. I used a hole saw to cut a bunch of circles recently but I think they needed even more clean up.

[Sonal_Mobile]

Great project! I like the epoxy finish too!
I also like the storage idea underneath for cards and other small games. A good 'rainy day' kit :)
