Okay so here is this super shitty board game I made. The game is called Wizard Sprint, because I'm the best at coming up with names. The rules of the game are simple: you have to get from one end of the board to the other and back, whoever does it first wins, however there are a few twists.

Look how great this looks

At the start of the game, each player gets 3 cards from each category, attack, defense and movement.

Example of an Attack Card

On the start of players turn, they can either use a movement or attack card, and then roll the die like normal to move. A defending player can use a card to defend against an attack, but they don't get to see what card their attacker is using until after they play a defense card.

running dude

Add some color and a border, bam you got a card back

Colorize that shit

Like So

Did you know that sculpting planes out of old cans is a thing that people like to do?

Did you know I am really bad at it?

Thanks to the randomizer you now know both of these things.


Fresca! The best material to make planes.





GOD I NEED MORE PLANESTUFF.


Flatten those can dudes out, and glue them flat with a hot glue gun.


Glue them three wide.


Cut out a wing stencil. I wanted mine to resemble a Spitfire's wings.


Trace the stencil with an eraseable marker.


Cut it out with scissors.


Cram it across the body of the can.

















Looks awful. Rios beat me by 2 minutes. fuck you rios.

    Hey everyone I made pong in JavaScript, as an introduction to animations and inputs from the keyboard for myself. I might add some more features to it later, and update this post, but right now it is pretty standard. I made a computer player, who should be beatable(gonna be real hard though), there is no score cap, and use W and D for up and down. Check it out

Mike won the first FYYCDT challenge with his PVC bow due to its originality and functionality; outdoing Rios' more traditional branch bow. Rios did compete, he just didn't post yet (look I know the rule of the internet is "pics or it didn't happen," but this happened, ok?)

The winner of FYYCDT gets a prize to be determined and created by the challenge issuer and to fit the theme of martial prowess I decided to make a shield with a house sigil for the winner.

Materials
Wood (3: 1x5x6 and 1: 2x4x6)
Screws
Button Plugs
Belt
String
Miter saw
Jigsaw
Screwdriver
Paints
Primer
Painter's Tape
Router

Bisect those 3(1x5x6) to give you 6(1x5x3) MATHS!

Line them up lengthwise and clamp em in place. Find the center point, measure about 14" of string and swing an arc, drawing the circumference of the layout

Add your halved 2x4 onto the board and get them situated real nice like

Square those 2x4s off so you know you have a right angle and then trace the board as your reference

I gridded out each individual plank with countersunk holes to prevent the wood from splitting, and then drilled the 2x4 into place

Cellar door project complete

Flip it over and look at the front at your (poorly) lines and get your jig handy

Jig, jig like the wind! I really struggled to make good cuts, but I was able to sand it later to my liking.

Here's the back all sanded and wiped down ready for some stain.

I went with a dark walnut stain and did my first coat, let it set 5 minutes and then wiped down the excess with a rag.

OH SHIT LOOK AT THE DEAL FOR THAT PALM POLISHER

They kinda look like little muffins

I wanted to make the button plugs look like metal, but I was honestly really disappointed with the sheen this type offered, it didn't create any of the texture from the can top

See? It's all shiny and non-textured, I sanded off the sheen with some fine grain sand paper.

Now to prime, make sure to tape off the edges of your stain. I used spray primer so cover everything to prevent dusting.

Primed with two coats

I bought a little color paint sample because I needed a small amount and kinda dug the color.

Two coats of paint

I freehand drew a bear paw on the shield and then added the painter's tape, cutting out the design to make a stencil.

Notice how I didn't cover everything, don't be lazy like me, put some newspaper on that thing, prevent any stray spray paint.... Straypaint?

Peel away. Peeling anything is so satisfying, glue on your hands, saran wrap, scabs, painter's tape is no exception.

Check out the back, we need to grip this thing. So pick a belt to ruin and get to ruining it.

OH NO, MY PANTS

To keep the belts in place I used some left over wood to create brackets that I routed a belt sized groove in to pinch the belt while not cracking the wood.

Stain those blocks, what are you some sort of savage?

Screw those blocks in place, and keep a little bend in those belts or else you won't get your hands and wrist in there.

Pop those button plugs into place with some wood glue and bammo, you're done.
