https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LquVHWj3sz4 Check Wood Wars 3D out on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/woodwars3d/ I like to use this blog as a little peek behind the curtain, to share with readers not just information about the video, like some sort of extended description, but about how the video was made and why certain choices in the video happened. With that in mind here’s some trivia …
Announcing Wood Wars 3D initial public release
Two years ago I started work on a table top game with 3D printed components. It was called Wood Wars 3D. A year ago I had developed the game enough that I thought it was time to take it to the next level, so I launched a kickstarter to fund for the construction of sets Wood Wars 3D. What can …
Wood Wars 3D update
I know it’s been a long time. In case anyone was wondering, Wood Wars 3D is not dead. It’s just in that long tale of polish that as anyone who’s made things knows can eat up a ton of time. But I’ve been dedicating time to it and it’s nearly ready for a big reveal. But before that reveal, here’s …
Manufacturing Wood Wars 3D part 1
Last week I set about to find out how many Wood Wars 3D sets 1 3D printer can produce. I always estimated it as 1 set per day, but I didn’t have any hard data. Spoilers, I may have overestimated. Day 1 I manged to start 3 sets and get one of them almost completed. I was using dual printing …

Wood Wars 3D Intro Video and Contest Announcement
A second video in the same week? Well, there’s a good reason for this one. But, yes, my video content has been increasing while my text content has severely dropped off. I hope that’s okay with everyone. This is Wood Wars 3D. I realize I haven’t done a super good job conveying the idea that’s been in my head this …

Wood Wars progress update
In a word, Wood Wars is coming along nicely. The base armies are compete, but there’s still so much to do. I’m working on writing the rules so play tesing can begin in earnest. I’m gathering data on manufacturing costs and researching how exactly to have a successful kickstarter. I keep getting asked the question of if I’m going to …
Wood Wars Boar
It took 2 hours to make the boar head and I’m guessing it took as long to make the rest of them. Probably more for the elk. Don’t know why I mention that. I just want it documented somewhere how long it takes to do this sort of work, not that I didn’t love every minute of it. The gang’s …
Wood Wars Wolf Archer
On the left, the new wolf head on the old soldier body. On the right, on a new archer body. Nailed the overhangs on this one, it prints without any slop, and I think it looks great. I really enjoy playing with distinct looks for each of the heads. The bear is almost spherical, the deer is aloof and antlered, …
