Home Made Floor Board
I am planning on making a floor goban, or at the very least a "thick" table goban. I plan to glue 18" lengths of 2x4 or 2x6 together to end up with something 18x18x4 or 18x18x6 which I can add legs to for a floor model, or leave alone for a table model. I'm going for functional and inexpensive rather than elaborate and expensive.
Here is someone else's page who made their own table goban:
StormCrow: It definatly sounds interesting to do. I just wish people who put pictures of this stuff up online would put up more/higher-res pictures. I've considered "borrowing" my father-in-law's woodshop for such a project myself a couple of times.
BenShoemaker: Yes, more pictures would be great. When I get around to making mine, I will try to take pictures at various stages so you can see the work progress from start to finish. Niklaus: Has anybody tried making a floor board out of just one piece of wood? Where could one get such a big, thick piece and what would it cost (it doesn't have to be Kaya :-) ? And another somewhat related question: Does anybody know the prices of floor gobans in Asia (Korea, Japan)? If they're much cheaper than what you pay here, I could maybe get a Korean or Japanese friend of my sister's to send one to me. The problem is, regardless of what type of wood you use, finding a solid piece of wood the size needed for a floor board is hard and expensive. The tree has to get that big. A friend of mine looked into it, it was really expensive, although I couldn't quote you a price off the top of my head. This is a copy of the living page "Home Made Floor Board" at Sensei's Library.
