+ | ==== Materials ==== | ||
+ | === Wood - Playing surface and gutter === | ||
+ | 12mm Marine grade plywood is $60.65, Premium is $29.75 or $35.25. | ||
+ | I don't know why the bigger piece of premium ply is cheaper. I think I'll just pick a piece that looks nice. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Many builds don't have two layers underneath the centre section of the board, rather they use offcuts to form the rim and glue it together. I think I might make mine out of two circles of thinner (10mm? 8mm?) ply glued together. This gives me continuous grain in the gutter, and is faster to build. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Wood - Edge === | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Soak it in hot water. Bend it around a round thing. Circumference is 2155mm, and I want two layers of this, so two 2.4m lengths. Cut both in half after bending. Offset joins 90°. | ||
+ | |||
+ | People also talk of ammonia for softening wood for bending. Sounds smelly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Stain === | ||
+ | I want two different colours, lighter on the playing surface and darker in the gutter. Either two stains, or just a dark one on the gutter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Varnish === | ||
+ | Water based polyurethane: | ||
+ | * + Dries quicker, | ||
+ | * + Smells less, | ||
+ | * - Double the price. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === Wax === | ||
+ | Carnauba wax, no cleaning agent. | ||
+ | https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Disks === | ||
+ | Buy them pre-made. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Posts === | ||
+ | Vinyl tube over dowel pins. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Lines === | ||
+ | I'll cut the lines in with the router, do a few coats of varnish, then fill in the grooves with some varnish whitened with titanium dioxide? Maybe? | ||
