My principal and all the teachers had paddles when I went to school and the biggest guy in the class room was on the paddle squad.

 

You do nice work, Robert.

I still have all of mine! Student signatures fill every available space!!

That was the first shop project in wood shop class. That is when I first learned what a "hack" was, different meaning today.

I wasn't the kind of kid any one wanted to  raise a hand to.

Thanks Lew, I doubt they were mine on Pinterest unless someone else shared them there.  I am really looking forward to the day that can make my own oars and not have to buy them though. 

NOTHING TO IT BOB. START WITH A POPULAR 2x6, DRAW IT OUT, BANDSAW, ALL SORTS OF PLANES, DRAWING KNIFE.  SAND THAT SUCKER TO A FAIR-THE-WELL. YOU'LL BE AMAZED. Have a gooden.

Nice work Robert...can't imagine the size of the game board

Very nice work.

Nice burning, Robert. 

What wattage are you burning at? Those dice pips look deep. As opposed to the flag and paddles. Great job on all of them.

I haven't tried yet.  I am pretty sure I don't have the equipment to form one, yet.  

As I am trying to do that very thing this weekend, it requires a lot more skill, tools and patience than I has anticipated. 

I would use a draw knife and a shave horse to make ore's.

Try it... It's fun....
