Hi all,
I have been interested in the game of Go for a long time, particularly the Japanese variety where there is a focus on lovely equipment for this oldest of board games.
The main part of the game is the Goban, or Go Board. I have a beautiful 480x450x80 solid swamp-kauri board at home, but the reason for me joining this forum is to find out how to make some simple MDF boards so I can teach classes of kids this fantastic game.
Can anybody tell me how I can get access to a bench saw to cut a large sheet of 6mm MDF into 30 rectangles? Each board needs to be 305mm x 329mm.
I have no woodworking tools and since it is a one-off job, I was hoping their were workshops in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs, or maybe a kind bloke who could cut them up for me. That said, I have not been about to find either (including an hour searching these forums) and so I am here humbly asking for some advice.
Thankyou in advance for any wisdom you can offer. :)
