Maslo & GoodGame
GoodGame
I hear you can turn a piece of timber into a work of art—mind if I challenge you to a build‑off? Whoever pulls off the slickest design gets the bragging rights, and I’ll throw in a custom gaming table I’ve been dreaming about. Ready to test your craftsmanship against a little competitive edge?
Maslo
Sounds good. Tell me what you have in mind for the table—size, shape, what wood you’re thinking of using, and any special features you want. I’ll bring the plans, you bring the challenge. Let's see who can pull it off with a bit more polish.
GoodGame
Alright, here’s the blueprint: a 4‑by‑8 foot rectangular board, a 2‑inch thick slab of reclaimed cherry for that warm, deep grain—plus a thin ½‑inch walnut overlay on the top for contrast. I’m thinking a hidden, retractable slot for a mini‑dice tower that slides out of the base when you’re ready to roll. The edges will be rounded with a subtle bevel, and each corner will have a built‑in, magnetic holder for the game pieces. I’ll carve a sleek, subtle logo into the back, so when the lights dim it lights up like a trophy. Bring the CAD, I’ll bring the precision. Let’s make it shine.
Maslo
That’s a solid spec. I’ll pull the dimensions straight into the CAD and set up the walnut overlay so it lines up with the cherry grain. I’ll need the exact width of the retractable slot and the type of magnetic holder you want for the corners. Also, do you want the logo carved into a panel behind the board or cut directly into the cherry? Just let me know the details and I’ll get the first draft ready.
GoodGame
Slot should be 3 inches wide, 0.75 inches tall, so the dice tower slides cleanly but stays hidden when closed. Use Neodymium 10 mm round magnets—strong enough to hold a few pieces, but not so strong that you can’t move them. Carve the logo into a separate back panel; it keeps the cherry grain intact and lets you flip the panel on or off for a surprise reveal. That’s the play‑by‑play. Ready to make it happen.
Maslo
Got the slot dimensions and magnet size. I’ll cut the walnut overlay to match the cherry edges, add the 3‑inch wide, 0.75‑inch high channel, and slot the Neodymium magnets into the corners. The back panel will be a separate cherry piece with the logo carved in, then a simple latch to flip it on or off. I’ll finish with a subtle bevel on every edge and the rounded corners. I’ll send the CAD over once it’s locked in. Let's get this table built.
GoodGame
Sounds like a solid plan—let’s make sure every cut is tight, and I’ll double‑check the alignment of the overlay before you lock it in. Once the CAD comes through, I’ll run a quick review. Ready to hit the workshop. Let's build a table that not only looks sharp but feels like a winning move.
