    Marbles & Jokers II

    I finished up the CNC work today.. It stopped being fun around noon yesterday. Also around noon yesterday I figured out I work way too cheap.
    Anyway, all I have left to do is a little sanding. Pieces are white oak & cherry, 16" long X 3-5/8 X .800 thk, 12 each.

    Those really look nice, Bruce! And don't we all work too cheaply - right!?

    Looks like first class craftsmanship but I am dying of curiosity. What is it? I work cheap too but if I wanted to make the big bucks, I would have kept working as an engineer. Right now, I am doing what I want.

    Art, it's a marble game for 4 to 8 players. That's about all I know about it.

    Tom, did you make them two sided with the pin & hole, or the knuckle type joint?
