For a few months now I have been thinking about making my own home-made gaming board and today I have finally started on it. Firstly I had to decide on what I wanted my board to be made out of and what I wanted it to look like. I settled for a board made out of two 48x24 pieces of plywood, with the landscape made out of chicken wire and plaster. The plywood and chicken wire is not to expensive, but can still work just as well as an other material.

The first thing to do was to make the base of the board. This stage was very easy and involved just about no work. I decided it would be best to add some form of support to the board to stop it from buckling, so I added eight 1/4x2x2 planks around all the edges of the board except for one 48 inch long edge on each board. When I finished I had two pieces of wood that when placed together would form a 48x48 board.

What I have done so far.
The next step I need to get to is to get the chicken wire and then plaster it. |
