Great job but are you able to share the pdf or vector file for the artwork? Did you use your own Laser Cutter/Engraver or did you hire this out? If the latter, what did it cost? Thanks for sharing this. Doug
I agree with you that the physical action of the token originates with the one or more of the 'operators'.
I have never 'played' or otherwise experimented with one of these devices. I was sufficiently scared away by my Father's recounted story:
He and his cousins were mucking about and got a very precise message: MY NAME IS BILL HANDYSIGHT I AM COLD and nothing more.
They thought no further about it until they received news reports that at the very time they received the 'message', a man by the name of Bill Handysight was dying on the side of the road after a car accident. He never touched a Ouija board again!
As an exercise in engineering, I designed a token/puck that needs a minimum of three operators, such that if one operator becomes dominant and deliberately tries to impose his own will, the result will be jibberish--a friend dubbed it "the consensus machine".
It's cool that you can do this kind of craftsmanship, but messing with OUIJA boards is flat out stupid. I highly recommend that, should you make one, do not use it.
I made this because I think it's a really nice object and a great weekend project, I really don't use it just because I do not believe in all that BS about ouija boards.
