New Banner

Decided to get on the ball and add a graphical banner. I will improve on it later. But for now it will help improve the look and feel of the site.

Tablero da Gucci part 2

Continuing from my last post, After I finished with the Dremel work on the board I laid out the glasses to see if everything looked good.

Then I sanded it all down and in between the squares. Next I stained the board

I picked a classic oak stain for the job. Using cheap foam brushes I layered on a nice even coat.

It took a few tries to get all the cracks filled in. At this point you can hardly even tall it has a seam between the two boards. While this one was drying I started in on the second one, I will spare you the details since its all the same.

Bus Pirates

Pretty cool little series of videos. Pirates of the modern age.

Tablero da Gucci

As of late I have been rather obsessed with a game called Tablero, In case you have never heard of it, its a drinking game that was developed in the S.C,A, that is played with seven shot glasses and a 7x7 checkered board. The board is one square shorter on each side than a standard checkered board. Since my obsession has gotten the best of me I have decided to start making boards to play with during this years pirate event season, which is coming up rather quickly. I wanted a to make a few boards and I wanted them to stand up to the torturous use they will have to endure during an average event. So of course wood is the most logical material.
