T@B Checkers

dinzzy

I
My wife’s brain child.  She bought me a CNC Machine for Fathers Day and commitioned me the make T@B Checkers for our November anniversary.  Completed at Christmas as we were all distracted and busy with our son’s wedding that took place in our back yard.  Here is the final product that we will be using at TABAZONA 2018 for our first camping trip of the year!

@dinzzy, this is really awesome! Since we're quite a distance away and can't be there, I'm puttting our order in!

Ok, what would you use for T@B chess? Tiny T@Gs can be pawns; T@Bs decorated with horses = knights; T@Bs decorated with bishop hats on the side = bishops; T@Bs with smokestacks and decorated with stone siding = rooks. Of course T@B 400s would be Queen and King. 

I can't figure out where to put the clamshells. Tailgaters watching?

Sounds like you have a new project, @Ratkity! We'll need photos...

@Ratkity, ok, so I've put an order in for @dinzzy's t@b checkers, and thought your description of t@b chess pieces imaginative, fun and even a bit brilliant, so, I'm ordering those too. I get the first set in regular production. Thanks!

Ratkity

w00h00! you can keep @dinzzy's mind and hands occupied while his wife hovers. LOL. T@B chess, it's the new corn hole (Bean bag) game of the campground! (oh and the major cuteness of T@B checkers!!)

SOoooo.. @dinzzy, I have a question....When you "king" someone, do they get a 400 instead of a 320, or do they just stack 320's?

dinzzy

We just flip them over when they get “KINGED”!!  That reveals the TABSHACK side!  Although replacing it with a 400 is a cleaver idea.

O.M.G. !!!! So clever!  too cool
