Really shows how much has gone into a silly flicking game you play at the pub.
- fanatic2pope 2y agoIt looks like those instructions are from 2011. CNC machines are pretty common these days and could help simplify it quite a bit. For example: https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/5cfea3909fc9260017675dce/shares/5e41d90bce53b3000f116e7f https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/5cfea3909fc9260017675dc...

- msoucy 2y agoI, as a fledgling woodworker, was able to make my own board with some guidance from a friend. It's definitely a rewarding and educational project! Plus it makes a nice wall decoration when not in use. I used Purple Heart wood for the edges, which looks gorgeous but was difficult to work with. It took a few days of 3-4 hour blocks, due to a busy schedule, so a more experienced woodworker should be able to do one pretty easily.
