Sometimes i get the urge to make physical objects. An urge that programming cannot itch. I made a home made go set because i didnt want to cough up 140 bucks for a bamboo one online. Spent 16 on materials instead. Although it took me like 5 days of free time to do. But a home made one is so much better anyways than something just bought.

The pieces are made out of numerous 1" dowels with the tip stuck in a 1/2" round-over router bit and then chopped off with a miter box. Sanded with 120/220 to smooth them out. painted and then sprayed polyurethane to protect the paint job. The board is plywood with a pigment pen for crisp lines with polyurethane over top of that. I will probably at some point put molding around the edge to fancy it up, as well as bowls for the pieces, but sometimes later in the future.
