[Commercial] Tomahawk - measure stick
« on: November 02, 2015, 01:03:53 PM »
I don't like measure tapes and prefer solid plastic or metal rulers. Also, I love practical and "in theme" gadgets. I've decided to make a ruler for French-Indian War games - the motive of choice was tomahawk! Laser cut in plywood (it's better than MDF, because it has wooden facture), scaled in inches. I've made few prototypes and after some minor changes I'm quite happy with the results. Now it looks like that:



I'm going to make some for our bunch of players anyway, but I'd like to know if anyone would be interested to buy one. Price is 5 euros apiece.

Looks great. I'm sure it would come in real handy. I might be interested in getting some if shipping to the US isn't too bad.

Letter to USA would cost 7$ for up to 0.5 kg or 11$ for 1kg. With something to toughen the pack of 6 pieces will weight 0.5 kg.

I've just sent drawing for laser cut - only 2 copies just to check if dimensions and quality are right. I will publish some photos on Wednesday and if everything is correct I'm starting to fulfill all orders.

Pictures:




Cut from 3mm plywood which is too thin - just too easy to bend. Proper ones will be made in 4mm.
