Crokinole Build Part 1

- This is the first part of a series of tutorials showing how to build a tournament grade Crokinole board (actually, how to build four tournament grade Crokinole boards). I would rate this project to be on the high end of the difficulty scale as it includes bending wood slats for the board rails, joinery and finishing to a high polish.

Ahahah I watched that same Shut Up video and right away though, "I can build that" so I started youtubeing and here I am. Cheers!
I did 4 boards using your videos as a guide and they came out great! This was my first woodworking project ever, so it took a long time, but we were able to share them with family who don't usually play games and they LOVE it. They play it even when we're not there to force them to play games (and that's a big accomplishment!)! So THANK YOU for your time and effort making these videos. You've had an impact on our family 🙂
You made my day. I'm so glad that you were able to build your boards. Congratulations!
@@games_maker I’m really struggling to get the template cut perfectly. (My peg holes seem to be just slightly off from the line. Do you have the cad file? I have a friend who might be able to Cnc an acrylic template for me.
@@hansonlife9465 I used a very old copy of TuboCad. I have added the cad file to the heading and I'll post it here for convenience: drive.google.com/file/d/1vtqOG09LLMIsmMhT1uKxoXCrfz8SAh-L/view?usp=sharing
You'll notice that the cad file is the entire board. I cropped the image when converting the tcw to pdf.
@@games_maker Thank you!
I was thinking about building a crokinole board for a year or so and finally got around to it a few weeks ago, inspired partly by your video. The board is less than perfect, but looks pretty good and is quite playable. I wanted to mention one solution I came up with for inscribing the circles and lines on the board for people like me who don't have a router. After staining the board a light colour and adding a couple of coats of urethane I made a simple jig with a center hole and holes 4" 8" and 12" from the center just big enough for a finishing nail. With the jig fitted snugly to a center bolt I scored the surface with the nail at each diameter, cutting a small groove into the wood. I also cut the straight lines using a straight edge and a nail. Then I painted a dark stain into the grooves and wiped up the excess stain, much like you did in your video. Low tech but it worked out fine.
Pedantic western Canadian here, we pronounce it Crow-ken-ol :D
you're a man of my own heart. I watched, Shut Up & Sit Down review of Crokinole. and thought ill build a board .
and you can not get better than Gershwin
Thanks. The music turned out so much better than I anticipated.
I'm going to use your jig and just wanted to thank you for making it! 👍
You are welcome. Good Luck with your project.
I had the exact same idea as you, I finished my board about 2 weeks ago.
You look like you've got it down pat.
Awesome tutorial, I also came from the shut up and sit down video and thought making them homemade would be a great little project
Thanks. Good Luck! I'm curious how you get along.
I am definetley going to make a crokinole board.... nice video
Cool. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did.
Awesome videos. You have convinced me to build 4 boards, even though I own a very nice one from Crokinole Canada. They will be gifts for Xmas. However you're not really making 4 boards from 1 sheet of plywood. You still have to make the rails from separate lumber. Hardwoods are expensive.
That intro is a personal attack 😂
I am making two boards with the 26 inch deck and a 32 inch base. I am using the leftover wood to make two Klask games and two Puckett games.
Making Klask and Puckett games are a great idea. I might have to steal your idea for a future video. :D
This is really awesome.
Thanks!
Great video, George! You are quite meticulous.
These are gorgeous. Kinda wish you sold the darker version
What would you recommend doing if I stained the wood and cut the lines before any coats on poly?
Did the stain bleed out all over the top layer of the plywood? Sanding it out isn't an option because you will sand through the top layer of the plywood before you remove all of the unwanted stain. You could stain the entire top to match and then put a different color filler in the line grooves. Or you could try to bleach the top but that would probably end up really splotchy. Or you can chalk it up to the joy of trying new things and cut another top.
While watching I though instead of cutting the “arrow shape waste into strips, might it be easier to cut them into L shape pieces? Possibly 2 less joints to have to reassemble. Once I try it, I’ll share if it works. You may have to miter the ends to join the opposing L shapes together.
Interesting. I'm curious how it works out.
I came here directly from the Shut Up and Sit Down video
Hmm, wondering how you cut the 5/8 slot for the router guide in the template 🤔
I used a router table and made deeper and deeper passes. You could also use a fence and a plunge router.
Would you mind uploading a DWG of the cad file? I can't get turbocad to install...
I added the DWG file to the description, but here it is again.

@@games_maker Thank you!
On the Router guides that were used, what were the inside and outside dimensions?
If you go to 10:23 in the first video I explain the relationship between the holes in the router template and the router guide. The answer to your question is that both are 5/8" wide.
I see you also had graphics of each step in the process. Any chance you can zip those up and share them as well? Makes it easier than carrying my PC into the shop. :-)
Good idea. I just added a link to the overview slides zipped up PNG files.
I can't see the pdf anywhere. Where can I get it?
If you expand the "show more" link at the bottom of the summary, it will drop down and expose all of the downloadable content.
What did you use for the bumpers? Link?
@@tobykraft3583 I used steel shelf pins made by Platte River Engineering. You can see this at 9:30 into the 2nd video here: ruclips.net/video/GA5cE36uMFw/видео.html. I don't remember where I purchased them.
"I left room so I could glue in the corner supports. And then I forgot to do that." Man if that's not something I would do, I don't know what is.
Thanks. This made me laugh out loud.
Omg, please mount your saw to the table or at least move it away from the edge.
Please, this hurts to watch
Love what you do tho, keep up the good work and stay safe
I watched this video several times and never noticed that the miter saw was within an inch of falling off the edge. I have since clamped it in place. :D
Wow I had forgotten about that very much... well thanks for securing the saw and for reminding me of the incredible world of crokinole and your great projekt :) stay safe and best of luck@@games_maker
