Wahoo/Aggrevation Game board
Gameboards are 16.5 inches square to start and then routed to 16" diameter circle. My wife and I wanted a smaller board than standard to make it easier to carry around. One side has 4 player board and space for engraving personalized inscription and the flip side has a 6 player board. The design was done on shaper studio. Studio has very limited methods for documentation of fonts used, routing depths, or routing offsets

Instructions
After glueing up walnut, I planed and finish sanded so that I would have very little sanding to do after routing and engraving. Cut finished board into 16.5 inch square. I started by choosing to do the 4-player board first just in case I did not like my engraving and wanted to plane the board and start again. It would be a shame to do all the work and then not like the final product because of a mistake on engraving. My SVG file has the 16.5 in square with it's origins set to X=0.0 and Y=0.0. After setting up origin to proper grid, I loaded the 4-player SVG and started the engraving. I barely etched the surface with my engraving bit so that I could make small changes and test to see how I liked the depth until I was pleased with the outcome. It is difficult to set the engraving depth exactly the same when manually calibrating depth. After all engraving finished, I cut all the holes. Once the engraved side was finished, I flipped the board, made a new grid and loaded the 6-player svg (Don't cut the outer circle until both sides have been routed} After the 6-player side was routed, I cut the outer circle with about 4 passes. Then, I sanded the outer edge to perfection before rounding the edges with my standard router.
