I am currently in the process of making chips that can be used for the remaining games, checkers, board, etc. To begin with, it will be two remaining games but it could probably be more games to come. A game plan is simple and mostly fun to do. The making of checkers, however, repetitive, boring and just when you made the first. I therefore decided to make it easy for me so that I do not have to toil in vain.
To begin with I chose the diameter of the pieces after the diameter of a drill, that is 20 mm in diameter. Then sawed elongated rod-shaped blocks and the lathe was roughly a diameter of just over 20 mm. The subject then turned to just 20 mm using a steel pin (see diagram below). Before the substance is taken down turned V-shaped groove with V Products intervals and sanded with fine sandpaper. The trays are cut off since a finbladig "japansåg".
order to facilitate the grinding process used a self-made special tools. It consists of a wooden block with a drilled depth, 20 mm in diameter and about 5 mm deep. At one end drilled a corresponding deepening of a pervasive sawn cut to facilitate the attachment of the decoration (See below). The pieces are turned into just 20 mm in diamerter to a light pressure placed in position without firing spontaneously. In order to release the pieces during the work provided me with a recess through hole with a smaller diameter. The pieces are sanded to which sandpaper glued to a flat disc.
Here is the pre-cut pieces before and after oiling. They oiled the plays has drawn about 20 minutes in kallpressadf linseed oil before being dried off. Wood species are grinders and elm.
In anticipation of the oil brings in, I sketched a spot on a spare tile. Using a drill and a slightly modified nail scratching annular pattern in the surface. Such patterns are very common in medieval game pieces which are mostly made of bone or wood. The nail is utsmidd in one duck and tillfilad order to have two tips, one slightly longer than the others. When drilling goes further down the peninsula to form a center hole and the other edge repaired since a circle like a compass. Close up of the drill, see Neda.
The scratched decor here is filled with pigmented wax soft kneaded and pressed into the decor. Excess wax is cut away with knife and the surface sanded with fine sandpaper, finally, for to be free from unwanted vaxrester. I am not happy with the color but with a different color and the same pattern as I get enough satisfaction. Wax Blends consisting of about 1 part pigments and about 3-4 parts wax. Too much pigment make the wax hard and ruins while adhesion.
