    Default Backgammon set

    Just finished this backgammon set for a Christmas gift. Used solid timbers, Mahagony, Purple Heart and Qld. White Ash.

    Default Lovely job

    That box is a real credit to you. I can appreciate the amount of time spent in getting all of those joints so neat. Did you use a disc sander to get them all so neat?
    Also, I love your avatar - very clever!

    Thanks Alan,
    No I didn't use a sander, I made a jig for the table saw with an angle of 5 degrees, incluing a stop at the required width and fed in a square pieces of timber, alternatively reversing the side to be cut. Worked like a charm.

    Exceptional........a great gift and great craftsmanship.
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
