ouija board

[breadstick]

Finished this a few weeks ago. Put it together on the fly, so I didn't really have a pattern.  Backer is whiteboard and letters and symbols are stained poplar.  People at the festival seemed to really like it.

 

I was on a very short time frame, so I would have changed lots if I had the chance.

Very well done Nathan.

[breadstick]

Thanks guys.  I set up at a Pagan Pride festival and made a few things to sell.  It was pretty well received.  I might make one into a coffee table at some point.

Nice work. It took me a minute to see the clear sheet on top, so I was wondering how the planchette was going to move over the raised letters!

Hey I make those every now and then for fun; I never thought of doing it like that with the clear sheet of plastic. I cut the letters out of the board and then fill them in with resin. Looks nice!

I was going to do the resin initially, but I never used it before and didn't have enough time to practice.  I definitely want to do it later. It'll be much easier to get everything straight.  What type of resin do you use?  I've read that some can scratch really easily and I don't want to make something that will look bad in a month.

 

If anyone wants to do it like this, don't use a table saw to cut the plastic.  First, it throws bits all over you and hurts.  Second, the edges are jagged.  I should have gotten a cutter from the hardware store and done it right, but time was not on my side.

I use easycast, mixed with a little acrylic paint to tint it to whatever color I want, I spray the whole board with a sealer and put felt pads on the planchettes to avoid scratching. The resin is a lot of work, although it's more forgiving than you might expect; mistakes can be sanded and redone. Your way is much easier.

Not my thing but well cut.
