I started this project not long after I got my glowforge. It was maybe my 2nd or 3rd project. Talk about the deep end of the pool! @ahvaness was very helpful in trying to get me past some snags I encountered. Your game looks outstanding. Mine wasn’t quite up to either your or his standards, but my granddaughters (twins) loved the sets I made for them. I’m working on two more for my two God daughters.
It was a VERY educational process for me. I don’t have a woodshop, so the box design turned out to be one of the stumbling blocks. So…I decided to find a box design and copy the engravings onto that. Now I can make boxes for things I want and can add artwork to just about any idea!
The engraving on the coins is one of the longest processes in the build - Four sets of games require 840 coins!
Lots of work to build, but lots more enjoyment out of the process and the giving.
p.s.: I had several (12!) mistakes making the title deeds…slap on a sticky backed cork layer and viola! Coasters!

yeah, i can see this being a really tough “early” project. and i’m amazed that you stuck with making FOUR of them. i enjoyed the final product (as did my gift recipient), but I’m not planning on slogging through all of that engraving again

Late entry – How did you do those coins? Are those just straight up engraved onto the front? With no burning??

they’re engraved on both sides and spray painted with silver, gold, and bronze spraypaint. there’s some burn, but it’s covered up with paint.
