Tic-Tac-Toe Board Game

One piece of wood approximately 1.5 in. × 6.5 in. × 6.5 in. (4cm x 17cm x 17cm). In my case, I am using a piece of walnut.

Two wooden dowel 3/4 in. (2cm) in diameter. If you only have only type of wood for the dowels, you can paint one set of pegs a different color.

The size of the board and your pegs can easily be modified to match the materials you have on hand. This project can be completed with just a basic hand saw, a drill, and a drill bit. However, I have included pictures of other power tools that can be used to speed up the process. Buy it from Catch store with Catch coupon code.

Using a hand saw, table saw, or miter saw cut the board to 1.5 in. × 6.5 in. × 6.5 in. (4cm x 17cm x 17cm).

Cut these lines to a depth of approximately 1/8in (0.3cm) using either a hand saw or a table saw.

Drill holes 3/4 in. (2cm) in diameter, approximately 3/4 in. (2cm) in depth. If using a drill press, you can set the depth stop. This will ensure all the holes are drilled to the same depth.

Ideally cut five pegs from a darker wood, and five pegs from a littler wood. However, if you only have one type of wood, you can paint five of the dowels a different color.

Ideally, you want the pegs to go in easily. If you have a huge selection of drill bits, drill the holes slightly larger than the pegs. Since I did not have a bit slightly larger than the dowels, I enlarged the holes using a Dremel with a sanding attachment.

If you have access to a router, you can use this tool to round the top edges.

In my case, I applied a linseed oil to the walnut wood.

Now enjoy the game with your family or friends.
