More Meeples

Image
I've had a lot of requests for smaller batches of meeples with different tokens in them, so I made some :) I'm selling these and the original packs in the shop now (or meeple svg here )

Massive Heredox

Image
Ed Saperia , inventor of Heredox and a million other cool things  asked me to make a large version of the Heredox tile game for garden parties. It's made from 12mm exterior ply that was cut at B&Q on their big saw. The symbols however were laser cut from 3mm poplar and affixed to the top of each tile, with laser cut markings on each tile to show where the symbols should go. The whole game was then strapped up into a carry case which has the rules engraved on it. As a project it took way longer than expected but it's a really cool item I got to make so that's pretty rewarding.

Gaming Markers and Tokens

I just cut a batch of gaming tokens for Tree, these are apparently for the game " Guild Ball "

Signs and Premises

Image
Just Add Sharks  moved a few weeks ago, we are no longer in with Kitronik  and we now have our very own unit in the wholesale market in Nottingham. It's great to have our own space to work from, we've already filled it with laser cutters and I'm now beginning to fill it with laser cut thing too. You're all welcome to visit us at any point just drop us a line first to make sure we're in.  

Baymax Birthday Cake

Image
It's not only laser cut stuff that gets made in our house, although you'd be forgiven for thinking that. Eli turned 5 this week (where does the time go) and he wanted a Big Hero 6 cake so I knocked up this Baymax head and shoulders. It's all cake based and then iced with ready roll icing (sugar paste), internally I used Cake Frame , left over from my Fraggle Rock adventures , this just holds the head in place. My first attempt at real baking and the Madeira cake  was super easy to make and very tasty. 

Project #6: Minecraft coffee table complete

Image
The Minecraft coffee table is now up and visible. There are lots of pictures and a detailed description of the build process available over on the Kitronik Blog . This project idea lingered for a good 12 months and having the support and backing of Kitronik really made it possible to put it together in super fast time. Go check it out now

Carcassonne Coasters

Image
This drinks coaster is made up of 4 Carcassonne tiles, they've all been cut as one tile and then varnished (to provide some drink resistance). I accidentally recut the edge when I flipped the tile over so there are excessive burn marks around the front. I'll be making these up as a set of 6 (each coaster different) if anyone is interested drop me a line, customer interest tends to get things made faster :)
