Custom Coin Board… Table! With Legs!
|Good morning!
So last week we showed off my new custom coin *board* that a friend of mine gave me in a trade, and as I was complimenting him on how helpful it’s been for me lately he shot me a picture of his latest creation…
A custom coin board…. TABLE! With Legs! (See above)
And boy has he outdone himself, haha… Unlike the original creation, this one comes with removable *cups* for even faster access, so now you can easily fill ’em up and swap them out without having to dig your hands into the squares to manually scoop them out! Genius!
You’ll also notice a smooth clean “sorting area” for easier pouring though, and then a raised edge for good measure so no precious babies fall overboard…
And then of course there are its legs!! Which collapse for easier storage!
Now this puppy only has *12* slots vs *50* so it’s not as expansive, but sometimes you’re only dealing with a handful of coins or countries anyways so in those instances it works great.
In fact, my friend says he usually starts out his sorting projects using THIS coin board first, and then whips out the other board second for more detailed sorting since that one has all those extra slots. So basically a 2-step sorting process – how fun!
Here’s a picture of the original board again for reference:
And then here’s a couple more of the board table, sans coins to better see it in all its glory ;)

Pretty cool, right?
What a great way to harness one hobby to improve another… You have outdone yourself again, my good woodworking friend! Congrats!
And similar to my note with the other board, if this is something that could really help you in your own coin journey, pass me a note and I’ll see if my friend is willing to make another one. I hear he’s a sucker for foreign coins! (Hint hint)
PS: We’ll be back to our usual *coin* posting next time… I just couldn’t pass up the chance to show off yet another great invention! Coin collectors are the best!
