The Making of the Go Board

This has been a long time in coming (see Board Question 30286, Board Question 30753, and Board Question 31038).

Yes there is a Go club on campus! It meets Tuesday nights In the Math Department Commons Room (294 Talmage Building) 6:00-8:00pm. It starts 16 Jan 2007 A.D.

All this Go stuff Made me want to make my own board, so over Christmas Break I got together with a good friend of mine who does a lot of wood work. I wanted to make something basic, as well as something really fancy. So I made two boards. One of the hardest parts was making the legs for the traditional board. I felt a little like 'Wilson from home improvement taking these picture.

My Boards are not finished yet so more Pictures will be coming, also perhaps some pictures from the Go Club itself.

This is us turning the legs on the lathe, and what we made the legs from. They ended up looking really Neato!

1) Me holding what we started with compared with what we made.
2) Sanding the leg on the lathe. (much easier than regular sanding, thus the masks)
3) The beginning of the shaping of the leg!
