Design
The playing area of a Crokinole Board is 660mm in diameter. Dimensions for the other measurements were a bit harder to find and I took them from the blog of Stephen Houser.
| Playing circle | 660 mm |
| Outer line | 610 mm |
| Middle line | 406 mm |
| Inner line (with pegs) | 204 mm |
| Line width | 3 mm |
| Center hole | 35 mm |
| Center hole depth | 6 mm |
| Ditch width (area around playing circle) | >51 mm |
| Disks | 32x10 mm |
I decided to make the board in the shape of an octagon, which allowed me to save some material as only the center area needed to be made from a solid piece. The ditch and board could be made from 8 identical pieces of scrap Valchromat.
