    Default Solitary game




    Hello everyone, this is a called SOLITARY game, at least for this name we know it here, since it is to play the only one, the wood is called a mulberry, I ignore his translation or equivalence in Australia, she is semi-hard and much used for the construction of doors and balconies, the adornments that the game has are of The Hague and Tulip ( a timber of green color), it has a diameter of 25 cm. and the box, it takes in the low part an adornment of thread of bronze, has no varnish, it is finished by sandpaper until one used grain 5000, I hope that they should like, shortly I will raise other works that I am doing.( excusme my english, is not very good ).
    I wonder why buy rice and flowers? Rice is to live and flowers to have something to live for. Confucio

    G'Day "Michael Spain",
    I've made quite a few "SOLITARE" boards for friends & my for wife to give to people for "fine motor" relearning.
    I made up a template on cardboard, then mark out the timber and use a large countersink drill to make the holes.
    Most of my boards aren't as fancy as yours.
    Cheers, Crowie

    Nice

    and I think I made my last version 30 years ago

    I probably should do another - but can't rush these things

    Hi Crowie, the holes for the marbles, did I do them with a router, but a detail, you have to do them when the wooden piece is squared, OK?
