I'm making a bagatelle game for my kids, this is what i mean for those who are'nt old enough to remember one :wink: ....
Bagatelle
I have a basic idea of how i am going to make it, but i would like help with a couple of things please.
Firstly, the holes that the ball can fall in, sometimes these are metal inlays but i can't figure out how to get these, so the alternative is to make the holes myself. Whats the best way of doing this? Big enough to fit a steel ball or a marble in.
Secondly, the thin wooden walling that goes around the side to keep the balls on the board, it looks like a strip of something, but i'm not sure what would flex enough to bend round and back on itself without snapping.
Any advice with this would be most welcome. I've almost finished a Shove Ha'penny board for them, i loved this game as a kid so i thought i'd make one myself.
Ideal for those rainy days in......and we seem to be having a few of those at the moment!
Thanks,
Calv.
