Back in 2018 I built my first version of Shut the Box. This build was part of a gift exchange with my brother and his wife.
The theme of this exchange was to create using something that had belonged to our parents. I chose to use parts from their electric organ. It is next to impossible to find a buyer for one of these and it was destined for the dumpster.
I made use of the switch paddles and speaker cloth. Actually the rod that holds the paddles came from the organ as well. I bought the stick on numbers at a craft store. The wood is from locally harvested cherry.
I made two sets and kept one pair. The other pair was the gift.
There are no build pictures on this project which makes for a short post!
Thanks for the comments! Corelz - It is nice to remember when playing this Scrappile - If you mean flip over all the numbers I have never won either. If you mean get a better score than my opponent then I'm about 50/50
Those are beautiful games and it is s good job of recycling. When I do it I call it scrounging for material!! I like the way you put in side boards to catch the rod with the flippers . I built a couple and had to assemble the box and rod and flippers all at the same time. This is a smarter Idea and I think I'll use it if I build any more
