Great project!

The only problem I have with it is that it is play-only table - i.e. not very good for studying, since when you sit on one side it is hard to reach the stones on the other side. Which means you want this for playing and you also need another board for studying. Or is there a smart way to adjust the design to make studying and game replaying easier?

Based on previous discussion (see posts 3-6), the stones should be on the left and right sides of the table, not directly in front of the player. This should make it possible to use both sides when studying.

Oh, I see. And you can probably also put both colors into the same drawer, which would make it even easier. Sweet!
