Board Gamer Coasters

All right, here goes, subject to the standard terms described here:

Meeple Coasters - v3 JTB.zip (81.2 KB)

Assembly is pretty straightforward:

  1. Cut the wooden parts from desired Proofgrade or other plywood. I used 3mm Baltic Birch, but Medium Proofgrade Maple Ply would probably yield very similar results.
  • Everything should fit within a single 12x20 sheet.
  • Remember to set the plain meeple outlines to SCORE. Everything else is a cut.
  • The holder includes depth options for 4, 6, or 8 coasters (assuming your materials have similar thickness to mine). Just print the largest sides & bottom if you want a full set of 8.
  1. Cut the foam parts.
  • I used 2mm EVA. See Birch Ply and EVA Foam Coasters for suggested settings.
  • These use the same cut pattern as the outer wooden edge (the plain rounded square).
  1. Lightly sand & finish the wooden parts. You’ll likely want several light coats.
  2. Affix the foam to the wooden coasters. I used a water-resistant spray adhesive, sprayed onto the back side of the wooden coasters. That way, the adhesive doesn’t get onto the visible portion of the foam.
  3. Assemble holder using your preferred glue.
  4. Enjoy your enhanced gamer geekiness. :sunglasses:
