It's on the Wall

It's not exactly the first thing on your mind when you move into a new house but at some point you need to get the hulking piece of wood propped up against the bookself a proper place, and if it's a Crokinole board that likely means hung on a wall to see because, well, you damn well want everyone to know you have a Crokinole board.

Maybe that's doable after all!

Did you ever consider 2 pegs at 4 and 8 o'clock and just rest the board on them? A bit more work on the wall i suppose and not as elegant an end result.
Clearly the STEM solution would have been an electromagnet mounted in the wall with a voice activated switch ('Crokinole ON!" to activate it, for example) that holds a plate mounted on the bottom of the board.
Probably mess with your lights/speakers and cause kitchen knives to fly across the room though

I get the feeling that after spending an entire semester creating it (with virtually zero skills to start) you look at the board with a very different set of eyes. Every flaw speaks to the crafter in a much sharper voice than it does to the rest of us. He may have been happy to take the $50 and be done with it.
I'm not a guy that worries about the thickness of the cardboard or centering of the cards, so if I game is in playable condition I'm good to go. This board functions as it should, I have fun with the kids playing on it, so I'm happy as a clam to have gotten it for the price.

This is why I am so reluctant to make items to sell, despite knowing that no one notices all the flaws that I think I see.Sagrilarus wrote: Every flaw speaks to the crafter in a much sharper voice than it does to the rest of us.
On topic, I really need to get around to making a Crokinole board. I’ve been saying this for years though. The plywood sheet would be enough for two boards. Maybe the first one could be a standard looking board for practice and the second one could be a bit more unique. I’d really like to do a Lichtenberg design in the four quadrants and fill it with resin.

From what I can tell, you'd better like sanding.

I can put one together for anyone who wants a custom board as long as you pay for materials and time.
(Edit: I don't know if I'm an idiot or what, but I can't seem to attach anything, but here's a link )

Reminds me of playtesting games. When it finally comes out, you’re so sick of it, its arrival is somewhat anticlimactic.
