I'd love to get my own board done before the Pontiac, MI tournament in late August (the next multi-day tournament I'll be attending)...but that will take not only a grid but, of course, the rest of the board, too.<BR/><BR/>As for the fabrication of the grids, I'll be happy to supply you with one of the first succesful products. The material cost should be minimal.<BR/><BR/>Horray for Scrabble Solidarity!! An injury to one board is an injury to us all. ;-)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957116887646377052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063129111950213809.post-14855079884707619972008-06-18T00:09:00.000-04:002008-06-18T00:09:00.000-04:00Those are some really nice photos, and the board y...Those are some really nice photos, and the board you made is great, too. But what got my attention is when you said this: " I've also fabricated what I consider a pretty successful prototype of a Scrabble board grid."<BR/><BR/>You see, I have a board that the late John Cornelius made for me, that is in need of a new grid. The original grid became cracked and I had to throw it out. Since then I've replaced it myself, but that just hasn't worked out and it's rather impractical to play on. I'm hoping you can help me out and will pay you to fix this problem if only you can. Pretty please? lol<BR/><BR/>As for woodworking, a lathe is about the only equipment I am able to use, so I'm sure you'd glom on to that rather quickly. The hard part is finding a lathe. But maybe that's what you meant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063129111950213809.post-19788302954216228502008-06-17T23:20:00.000-04:002008-06-17T23:20:00.000-04:00Ha!
