Double Twelve Domino Set - Part 1

Hello Everyone!

First I'd like to wish everyone a very healthy, happy and prosperous 2011!

Like I have promised before, here are a few sneek shots of the double twelve domino set.

All the parts layed out to make the maple top and contrasting walnut bottom. I have grouped 4 tiles together on one rectangular piece of maple.

Using my right angle alignment jig (as seen in my book Simply Wood) to make sure the paper pattern is pefectly positioned on the maple as it is glued down.

At the drill press drilling many, many holes!

Still at the drill press! This time I'm using a countersink bit to champfer the drilled holes to add some dimension to the plain hole.

My gluing station. Gluing the maple top to the walnut bottom using my trusty right alignment jig.

Please return for more sneek shots!

Thanks for looking!

Double Twelve Domino Set Intro

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since we last met, nonetheless I have been quite busy in the workshop. Since I had to meet a very special deadline for Christmas I have not had the time to really do a full in- process picture documentation of my most recent custom order.

I did however sneek in a few pictures and I will share them with you in a couple of posts.

What I have been working on is a custom set of hardwood double twelve domino set with a sliding lid box. I have done a set before, but it is differs from each other in many ways. The first one only had 28 tiles to make up a double six set. The second set have over 90 tiles to make up a double twelve set. The tile itself is a bit different in the way that the first set had a cut-out line and a dot in the middle of the line to seperate the top from the bottom of the tile. The second set was a bit simpler with only a v-groove line in the center of the tile.

The above photo depicts the double six set that I made. Please check back to see the reveal of the double twelve set at a later stage!

The boxes are different as well. The first set had a maple mitered box reinforced with walnut keys, while the second set had a maple finger-joint box with a divider on the interior of the box for a few pens or pencils.

The double twelve set was meant as a gift to a very lucky set of parents on Christmas day!

I hope they liked it!
