Can anyone help me find a cheap goban/go board set???
I’ve been looking for a cheap, reasonably priced Go set so that I can learn and practice the game. I would play online, but I’m uncomfortable with the prospect when I’m such a beginner.
I want a 19×19 board as opposed to the 9×9 or 13×13, so that I don’t have to buy another board later on. A double-sided board is okay, but a vinal one is not. I would also prefer that the stones be double-convex instead of single.
A better solution might be to get a computer program that lets you play Go. I made my own Go board out of paper and pennies. I spray painted the pennies white and black. It turned out OK, but when I showed it to my Chinese friends they thought it was funny because I used pennies. They said I should have used Chinese coins because the value is less.
I think Books a Million and Barnes and Nobles sells Go sets.
Fireworks Finale Board Set Up.
This video demonstrates how to fire multiple fireworks cakes that usually are supplied with Visco Fuse. If you have a 12 position wireless firing system you can see how you could make 12 of these boards and fire them one at a time to do a complete backyard fireworks display or a small professional display. We are starting to head into the dry season for fireworks here in Pennsylvania and I just wanted to get a video in. If all goes well this board should fire somewhere for New Years Eve.I am still not sure where that somewhere is yet.I’ll try to post it when I fire it.
