I made a Travel Skittles Board!

This one is much smaller than a standard board, so I called it Travel Skittles. I'm working on a video of the whole process of making it, but it's not finished yet. I'll post a link when it is, or you can subscribe to my youtube channel and sign up for a notification when it's posted: www.youtube.com/markhayward

(Edit May 19)
Here it is!

Wooooo.felicidades mark

Looks great. I have been wanting to build something like this but have no time. Possibly this fall.

[MarkHayward]

I really had to force myself to do it. This project took about 3 months, since I had other things I had to do, and still had some set-up and maintenance to do on my shop. Starting is half the battle for me, but then you have to keep plugging away at it and actually finish. This is a lot of why I decided to reinvigorate my youtube channel: I needed an excuse to get down into my shop and make stuff. Now that I'm making videos of me making stuff on a regular basis, I'm going to get a lot more done!

Well done, sir. Looks like it would be fun to play. I can no longer view the pics here but saw them earlier. Thanks for sharing the project with us.

A portable skittles is a good idea.
As butterfingers said the image is not visible anymore (I guess the google link expired). You can try the forum new "Add image to post" feature.

Done! Thanks Jorge.

Very nice!  I like the concept.  I wonder if you can travel with it over to Miamisburg in August.  It is a long trip, though.

[MarkHayward]

Ooo... maybe! I put it on my calendar! I'll do everything I can to come, but I might have a conflicting gig.

The video is finished! Check it out, and feel free to share it with all your little buddies if you want.

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Good job Mark.

[MarkHayward]

Thanks Jim!

Nice video!
Quality work. Your workshop is well equipped.

What are the odds of finding a mint skittles board on a crumbling house by the river?     

PS: The reader behind you didn't complain when you made the fuse blow.  My kind of girl!

thanks for this great document
I enjoyed the last sequences when you try to get a bouncy top
you know this ability for a top to bump and rebound has been a lot discussed in relation with
toupie hollandaise tables
