Re: Your Go study space
I seem to recall such a cover being sold by Samarkand, but their store went offline a few years ago. You might want to contact Janice Kim about the cover.Phelan wrote: Edit: I've seen a legged board protected by a clear plastic cover, and I was interested in having something of the kind for mine, to keep the game undisturbed. Does anyone have something similar, or know how to get/make one?

Re: Your Go study space
Just a thought: there a places that make custom turnable (record player) acrylic covers, and I bet they'd do one for a goban.

Hmm, thanks for the thought. Don't know if I can find one around here, but they are more likely to do one, yes.

Re: Your Go study space
Just make sure to get at least an inch of clearance on each side, and have it made taller than the board. No sense scratching up a nice board.judicata wrote:Just a thought: there a places that make custom turnable (record player) acrylic covers, and I bet they'd do one for a goban.
Re: Your Go study space

Sorry for the quality, its from my cell phone.
The board was a gift from my wife a few years ago. She found a coffee table at a Good Will that was missing the glass top, and replaced the rattan surface with a piece of oak plywood, and used a wood burner to engrave the lines. You can see foot stools underneath it at that are just the right height. The picture is taken from my computer desk in my study. I also have a small (4 1/2" thick) traditional floor board I recently acquired downstairs in the living room, but I prefer this one.

Re: Your Go study space
Walking around with my iPhone, sitting on the bed with my laptop after the rest of my family goes to sleep...
I had a dedicated table from ikea, and a board on top of it a few years ago, but space ended up at a premium.

My study space looks a lot like Christos'... I'll be sure to say hi if we ever bump into each other there. (Although I would be very surprised.)

Re: Your Go study space
I don't exactly have a designated space, But I have a writing desk that I use for general study. It's kind of cluttered around it.
