Woodnshop is pretty good, you might also consider Green Valley. Tends to run slightly less expensive than Woodnshop, but not too much of a difference. For next project, perhaps.
I do a cost analysis vs Inventables somewhere in that thread I think. It’s not even close, GV trounces them on cost.
I’ve used blue painters tape when I’m in a pinch. The vinyl transfer tape is nice because they come in 6" wide strips/rolls. I’m sure they have other sizes too.
Very Nice! I got the yellowheart that I used for my Catan Board (Here), on Amazon.
This one looks like it might be a good fit.
It doesn’t look like they have the project boards that I originally purchased. I got pieces that were 3" wide x 24" long x 1/4" thick. There were 3 Yellowheart, 3 Purpleheart, and 3 Bubinga pieces in the pack. The unfortunate thing was that the original Catan Resources are just a smidge over 3 inches wide, so I had to scale the entire thing down by about .25". In the end it wasn’t too noticeable, but it introduced a LOT of additional work.
That really came out looking great! I can’t wait for my forge to arrive so I can put together my own board. Like the others mentioned, great wood choices!
Where do you get your transfer tape?
I use this stuff and it has been working like a dream for me. And at $.12 a foot the price is hard to beat.
NEXT STEPS FOR ME:
When we’re ready to play, I can simply pull it down from the wall & lay it on the table. The other benefit is that the magnetized tiles will prevent the board from shifting around during aggressive game play 
Excellent ideas! I like the individual player boxes and magentized storage sheet. 
Finally picking this project backup! Here’s my first iteration of my custom player pieces. The idea is that settlements simply lay flat on the board, but once a settlement is upgraded to a city, the game piece sits on an elevated pedestal.
Doing my best make everything friction fit, mostly through good old trial and error!
The settlement pieces will all be walnut with different geometric animal vectors scored on both sides of the “token”. Each animal/player will also have a different color acrylic ring/gear cog border to make it easier to decipher between players on the board. The pedestal is acrylic as well. Trying to decide if the pedestal will all be the same color, or if I should color match to the various player colors.
Looking forward to any feedback, suggestions, or comments!
Looks awesome! Trial and error is my favorite method for friction fit too. My only question with the cities is does the board start to feel to busy? Only way to find out is play a few games and there’s never anything wrong with that.
I find it harder to discriminate during game play if pieces are marked with patterns rather than color. Color lets you easily scan the board to see what’s where – with patterns you have to individually focus on each piece. Or at least, that’s how it works in my brain. 
Great progress. Looks fantastic.
More progress!
Added magnets to the number chits and got a magnetic chalk board. The magnetic number chit fit into a hole in the center of each Catan tile, which will hold it in place. This will prevent the game board from shifting during gameplay and allow me to hang the board up in the wall in between gaming sessions!
Cool solution to display that awesome board!
