Creating the Bumper
- Find a material that is sturdy enough to support the material of the game board, we used corrugated plastic (must be of size, 20 in diameter)
- Using the 24x40 Omtech, cut a circle that is larger in diameter than the game board in order to fit the discs
- Take task board and cut two strips, total length should equal circumference of the circle made in the two steps above(desired height)
Crokinole Game Assembly
- Using strong glue, center the game board on the circle of corrugated plastic and glue it down
- Using your task board and strong glue, bend and glue the board on the outer edge of the corrugated plastic disc
- Once dry, glue your eight pegs down into the eight small holes
