Piece on TV showed a shove ha'penny board.
I liked the idea, has anyone seen a design (dimensions, # strings etc) for such please?

I have some - most pubs (last time I played) had replaced them with .... no idea what,can you still find half pences. may have to update with 5p as about the same size
I couldn't resist having a look for mine, here it is. The space between the lines is one and three eighths of an inch wide and the lines are knife marks rather than inlay. The Annie's Room area is a one and a half inch radius half circle.
Thanks Mike.Overall width 12 5/8" length 22" distance from bottom to first line 3 1/2"
Side margins 1"
It's made from 3/4" birch ply with hardboard for the curved top edging.
It think it was part of a batch made as Christmas presents for the kids about 65 years ago in the joiners shop where my late father worked.

And in mine.Somewhere in one of my very cluttered sheds, There is indeed a quality street tin that has a load of old coins in it.
<grin/> I meant wear and tear rather than breaking it!The shove end. Annie's room is definitely the Bulls eye.
If the customers can break 18mm birch ply its a rough pub you frequent!
