From start to finish is a documentary about crokinole from the playing to the building. It also features Willard Martin's story. I am very proud of this documentary
I can't wait to get my hands on one. Recently started playing the game on a really cheap Walmart board and I'm absolutely addicted to it. I've watched a ton of World Championship Crokinole videos on youtube.
Beautiful work! I am going to try and make my own crokinole board. I just can’t figure out how to make the round guard. Looks like you had some sort of thin wood that you bent around the edge.
I agree it is unfortunate that this isn't clear in the video but there are other videos that cover it a bit. His process is much more efficients and produces equivalent or better results. The only part not clear is how does he make or get the this strips.
@@phaedruscj3330 I ended up finding something called "Bendy Ply" at my local lumber store. It was a very, very bendable, thin plywood. I laminated two pieces of it together and bent it around the outside of my board and it worked well.
@@theburnetts That would be ideal. Ripping 1/8 strips somehow on my table saw is not within my capability yet. I have only seen the flexible ply online under various names and only at Home Depots site which indicates no longer available. I have found nothing so far in eastern Kansas. I found some web sites that offer (made by laminating the layers parallel rather than cross wise) but exceed my budget. Thanks for the reply!
Would love to start playing this but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a thing here in the UK. To buy a board and ship it here is just far too expensive. I'll have to stick to my game app on the phone. I wish I was more DIY capable so I could attempt my own but wouldn't know where to start.
@@huwadamson Yup. I heard great things about this board. So I bought one. Can't compare it with other boards because it's my first one , but I gotta admit.. Smooth surface. It's made with love and you can see it. Great board. They even have a hang system for it. Bought it today. Will hang beautiful in the living room
I offer the same service just visit my blog dynamicdezign.com/screenprinting/ and also visit my website dynamicdezign.com/ that helps you a lot and also feel free to contact me at wilson.dynamicdezign@gmail.com for any query
www.crokinolegameboards.com/ Mr. Willard retired but before doing so passed on all his processes to Jeremy Tracey. Tracey boards are the boards used now at the major tournaments and having just gotten one I can attest that they are phenomenal.

It's not sand, it's gliss powder. They have different types for different speeds. It helps to make the disc glide smoother and faster. You don't need gliss powder, but professionals consistently use it. There is a vibrant debate about it's use in the crokinole community.
Round is recognized by the world crokinole championships. A round side rail or rim has a definite advantage. The position of your lower palm or wrist is always the same distance from the start/5 line when you initiate your crokinole shot. www.crokinole.com/faq.asp

A true craftsman!
Wish my family could afford one of these we love family board games

Love the story, love the workmanship, I want to try the game. Perhaps build a board in my shop.
A board made of marble would be nice.

Try crokinole.de - not cheap, but cheaper than postage from Canada, and a great board

Can you link some information about the craftsman? I wonder if he would make one for me?

I want 1 so bad
I'm interested in making a crocinole board in my shop. I grew up in Ontario playing. I would love advice
That's really cool. I might have a go and make one myself.
can you give me all the necessary measures to build it? from the structure to the lines on the central table?
Anyone know if he is still in business?
Trying to order on his website, but it will not work.
He retired, but if you look up Tracey Boards, they are his successor
what size is the tournament game?
There is no way he uses a marker to make the lines.
Hi, Im from Brazil and would like to know how can I get this board?
Tks

I have never played with sand on the board, is that standard?
It's not sand, it's gliss powder. They have different types for different speeds. It helps to make the disc glide smoother and faster. You don't need gliss powder, but professionals consistently use it. There is a vibrant debate about it's use in the crokinole community.
@@Jacob_SonOfThunder Interesting, do they reapply the powder during the game?
@@heyimamaker Yes, they have a constant supply in the gutter that they use to rub the discs over.
I'd buy one from you if u still make them
always wondered why the difference
why round? not octagonal

Abi Türkiye de bu oyunu yapan yok.Bize kardeşlerime yapıp gönderir misin.Tesekkürler
Laminate board? Really?
That's a simple one... Material stability.
