Board game nerds rejoice! This beautifully simple laser cut project uses only one material and is an extremely buildable and customisable project that is easy to add your own style to.

We Have Used:

1 Check out the dxf:

All parts of this make are cut from one material – we’ve used Finnboard, but you can use any 3mm thick material of your choice.

2 Begin glueing on one side:

Lay one of the curved side pieces flat and grab the three internal panels – these are called baffles! Glue them in place using PVA as shown.
