Buy a pack of Oreos,
Take one side of the cookie off,
Get a chess board,
Oreothello.
haha! Genius!
could you make chess
For the pieces, you could buy a couple alternating colors of dowels and chop them down using a bandsaw and a stop block.. that might be less work.... maybe?
Bob I am 17 years old and i don't know the first thing about woodworking or welding but I watch your vids every Thursday faithfully lol. You make making things seem like so much fun😂
Thank you!!
Awesome! This is a project everyone should build. I made one of these back in high school and it was such a great learning experience for a bunch of different woodworking techniques.
the songs you use are awesome, also love the way you advertise your sponsors, non invasive and even has a timer for us to skip or watch them, keep up!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
+I Like To Make Stuff the way you present ads in your, is the best implementation I have ever seen anywhere, and I don't even feel like skipping them.
I have to agree, Bob's implementation of a sponsor segment is best I've seen. It also adds to the content, instead of detracting _from_ it, which is something I've seen on other channels.
he writes and performs the songs himself!
Hey, great video as usual. I'm really impressed how the production value of your videos increased over the years and how comfortable you got with speaking to a camera, making it really pleasant to watch. Keep it up!
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've realized it from watching this and a lot of other woodworker and maker channels. I don't like when youtubers use CNC machines. I like to watch YOU work. I especially feel this way the CNC is used for things which can be done without it. I understand having one as a maker is a must, but I'd like to see it used on projects which could not be done without it. There is a point between watching someone work with only hand tools and watching a completely automated system, that a channel becomes more about the machines than the work, or the person behind the tools. I feel the CNC is that point. Know it's only my appreciation for this channel that made me want to let you know. Thanks, Bob.
After leaving my trade of cabinetmaking to work in different area of employment, I like watching these videos. Brings back memories and makes me want a backyard setup later on
I bet a dark wood filler may have given a nice pop between the gameboard squares, and it may have been easier to work with. Awesome project as always, Bob!
Good call!
Just recently discovered this channel so just now seeing this. Looks fantastic!
Several years ago I found some wood faux mosaic tiles at a craft store and worked up a photomural backsplash for our kitchen. I haven't seen those since, but watching you cut the lines in the board it occurred to me that you could use a similar method for replicating the tiles in plywood. I'll have to remember this in the future!
Looks great. Extra storage is always extra awesome!
LOVE this game! great version Bob
Great ideas, seems like a lot of work but the final product looks amazing. Thumbs up for all original projects you come up with every week, it's truly refreshing and enjoyable to watch.
Thank you so much!
Great video! fun project! I'm glad you showed sanding down the the circles after they were cut out with the CNC. I used a hole saw to cut a bunch of circles recently but I think they needed even more clean up.
Ah man! Happy flash back! Rainy days at a friends summer house during those magical teenage summer breaks when it never rained ... except when we played Othello ... or was it the other way around or something ...
Beautiful craftmanship!!
Nice thing. Could improve it by adding something that will hold boxes in one piece.
That came out great! Beautiful!
Thanks dude!
Buk Lau David you mean
I like the fact that you aren't afraid to say you did something wrong. but at the end you make it work....
Great project! I like the epoxy finish too!
I also like the storage idea underneath for cards and other small games. A good 'rainy day' kit :)
Sweet. Every part came out really beautiful.
Thanks!
A hole saw in the drill press (or even a corded hand drill) is probably an easier game piece option than jig/band saw for the non-CNC folks.
I agree, or possibly slicing a thick dowel down and staining half of the pieces before gluing up a stained and non stained piece.
Yeah that's good too, especially if you're doing the project with exclusively hand tools. You can get hardwood dowel rod in different species too, so you might not even have to do the staining step.
I loved this game when I was a kid. Great build thanks
Turned out really awesome loved seeing the beginning of it on twitch.
Awesome project Bob! Turned out pretty cool!
Thanks!
thats a good way to manage adds without make them annoying, good work
Nice video! I love the way you cut out the board grid.
I love this game!!! Nicely done!
This is such a nice board. I used to play all the time when I was a kid.
Cool build. Have to check out the game, never heard of it. Thanks for sharing.
I love this way to present sponsors ! The best one I think :)
Thanks!
great board/storage, nice work
Very nice project, I like the epoxy on top!
You never fail to amaze with your work. Absolutely amazing.
Gosh, thank you! I really appreciate that!
You are very welcome Sir. I want to one day have the means to do a lot of what you've done on this channel.
Nice one. I love tabletop games, hope you will make some more.
Please make a Pai-Sho game. I'd love to see that
I feel for you with the sanding! I've just finished my wife's birthday present, a hardwood Tak board (Patrick Rothfuss) and sanding all the round pieces, was tedious to say the least! I'm aiming to get a video up soon. Inspired by you and several other CZcams woodworkers :)
Bob, you're just like the rest of us, which I think is great. You try stuff, you adapt, you redesign, and you make it up as you go. Great video, and a great project. Keep them coming!!
+Ryan Neumann thanks Ryan!
I just love these videos! Keep up the good work!
lmao... that face when sanding down all of those circular pieces(4:28), priceless. Great job of the game board.
This is so cool!!! Almost done building mine now!!!
Very cool. Bet the kids love it
Great work bob! I think I might try making this one myself!
Thanks! Do it!!
That's a cool looking game Bob.. Well done!
Ur awesome at building stuff
Who's the one who watches these videos but never does them
The look aof the walnut after the tung oil is so great!
Good job :)
Thanks! Yes, I agree.. I love the way walnut looks with oil on it. It's probably my favorite species to work with, or a close second.
If it's a close second, what's your favorite?
And good Job!
surroundkeller Probably Teak. It's EXPENSIVE, but man, it's really nice to work with and beautiful when oiled.
I Like To Make Stuff For me it is probably the number one, I generally prver darker wood over lighter ones :)
I think your work is fantastic!
Thank you!!
There are several reasons why your saw could be burning your work piece. The first thing to check is that your blade is parallel to the miter slot, which should be in turn parallel with your fence. On the Saw Stop, the factory tolerance is within 0+0.002" (back of the blade always further from the fence than the front) across the length of a 10" blade from front to back. You might also choose to have the fence run out up to 0.002" away from the blade along the length of the fence.
If you're still getting burning after that alignment, you might want to check the arbor for run out. This is also a good time to double check and make sure there's no gunk or debris around it. If that's running true and you're still getting a lot of burning, you might check the flatness of the fence. Likewise, the flatness of your blades. (ie: indicate your blades on the arbor to see if they run true) If you're still getting a lot of burning, weigh yourself against a duck. You may be a witch!
The Wood Whisperer and Matthias Wandel both have several good videos on saw adjustment.
Really awesome project.
So good shown how to make it! More board games! Maybe, in end could be explanation how to play a game, even if rules can be found on web!
thats awesome!! love that game, havent played it in ages
Nice game board, good work! 🤓
Awesome. Go with the flow. Work with what you got.
That was cool and it turned out great, never get tired of the walnut and maple combo. But now I'm craving Oreos for some reason.
Hey Bob, I love playing othello, all the best, stay safe and healthy, Neil, Chatham, Kent, England
Very cool Bob!
Well done. Walnut its a beautiful wood
Very nice projekt!
I like the walnut wood with the tung oil finish!
Also it's very cool to have this Epoxy surface, I think I have to try out something with both materials :)
Greetings from Germany!
looks good bob!
Looks great! I like all of the contrasting wood. I am not familiar with this game...I'll have to look it up.
I really like the epoxy over the top. Maybe paint the grid lines first to make the squares pop or if you really want to get tricky some thin wood strips from the walnut to make it stand out against a lighter coloured wood. That being said... Another great project Bob.
Thanks! I did consider doing a walnut inlay instead of the epoxy. I think it would have looked better in the long run, but I decided to experiment with the epoxy this time. Maybe on another project I'll try the inlay out.
Hi there,
i was building one of those gameboard long time ago and instead of filling the cuts on the board i used some darker wood rods.
It looks nice (yes its a bit more work) but they even stop the play pieces from sliding over to another field.
great build
your channel is very helpful for me right now because I am taking a class in 8th grade working with wood and stuff (Tech Ed)
Great!
Your expression at 4:30 = Double thumbs up!!
I would have put walnut inlay in the board to give the squares a better separation. But still a nice piece. :D
That would look a lot better than just epoxy!
great video, great project!
Hi Bob,
really liked this one. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
awesome project
Thanks!
Nice work!
Nice Job on the piece's
I would love to own this. Reversi is my favorite board game.
Nice work, you could also use a hole saw to make the pieces if you don't have a cnc, less cleanup too :)
Hey Bob. the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was the Asian board game "go" as the board (called a go-ban") is very similar. I highly recommend you take a look at the game. Thanks for the great vid and I will be converting this into a go-ban.
Looks amazing! I'd love to see you make a Chinese Checkers board.
Oh man I used to love playing othello
Very nice results on this one bob. You could even eventually make that base into another game. (Chess, checkers, or a small aggravation board maybe)
Great call!
At 4:21 - An alternate idea to make these discs is by using a hole saw which would be much faster than a jig or sabre saw. The down side is that a hole saw typically leaves a hole in the middle of the work cause by the pilot bit. I have been successful in eliminating the pilot bit hole by removing the pilot bit (duh), then using a drill press and (most importantly) clamping the work to the drill press table. Good luck!
Or slice up a thick dowel!
I really dig the unobtrusive style you do the ads in - video continues in the background while you earn cash. Good man
Thanks! I'm constantly trying to find a way to make it as non invasive as possible.
You could also use an hole saw to cut out the game pieces which works really good
I remember a travel version that had raised ribs between the squares. I would probably make a non-travel version the same way just to keep everything neat on the board.
Awesome video
Keep up this awesome work
Thanks!
it is soo awesome, good quality! keep it up and smile more broo
Small suggestion if you were ever to make another game with a grid inlayed like that. Fill the inlay with black paint or something of that nature to make the grid pop a little more. Thats just a personal touch I would add and I figured I would share. Keep up the good work man. :)
Interesting fact : Othello is a play by William Shakespeare. In the play, the villain, Iago (white guy) is trying to get back at the protagonist, Othello (black guy). I'd imagine that is where that game comes from.
Side note: the Aladdin villain, Jafar, is based on Iago. Because he pretends to be friends with the guy he hates. Iago - Othello. Jafar - Jasmine's father
Louis Whitaker another fun fact: The Jafar from the original 1001 Arabian Knights was actually a dope detective scientist, and based off of a real king who patroned a ton of science. It wasn't until the 1940s or so when he was portrayed as a sorcerer villain.
amaxing
its nice and you are artistic
hey bob i am thinking it this way, in indonesia we have these kind of game too. we have some magnets inside the circle pieces and we also have metal i think inside the actual board itself so that if you are playing it, the pieces will go directly into the squares. and it wont go anywhere. i think that they make small metal pieces inside the board for each squares so that it will stay in the squares
love your videos! hope this give you ideas!
Hey Bob, my name is Connor, and let me start off, by thanking you for your continuous inspiration that you have given me and others. You are a true innovator and engineer, with an originally creative mind. Its amazing that you stick to this passion, let me say, it's a great passion to have. I like your thinking of trial and error, and trying things for the first time. The world needs more thinkers like you. never stop what your doing, keep pushing forward, and keep in mind that," The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln.
Keep it up Bob and let me know if there is anything that I or others can do to support you, and your passion that inspires thousands.
On a sided note, what music is playing in the background? Its very enjoyable.
+connor Behrenbruch thanks so much Connor, I really appreciate the kind words!! The music is actually a loop I made, as is all of the music in my videos. Thanks!!
Awsome video... Although that CNC kills all the joy for unplugged shops like mine
Nice job Bob, this would be a great way to make a Backgammon board also.
like it. only thing I'd change would be to paint the outline of a checker board in on the quarto board and you could use it for both. very nice though
Love your work Bob. As you can tell from my logo, my name is Bob also. Great videos. You are part of the reason I have started to make videos. Keep it up.
Awesome, thanks Bob!
great work
Hi there from Portugal,
Nice board game :D
Obrigado(Thanks)
Just home (Ireland) from a holiday in Portugal, beautiful coastline and beautiful weather
I'm glad you like it :D
I'd love to see how you would make a full-sized Go board.
You should continue making board games I really like your vids about them
Beautiful!
My favorite game, been playing it on computer since 1986. I can't imagine playing it with a real board however.
Nice ! That would make a unique and lovely birthday present... Mine is soon ;)
For the game pieces, I thought you would be using some lathe to get the round shape, and then cut it into slices. But, CNC works well also, if you don't count hours of sanding :P
