This looks like a great project for laser cutting, but I'm actually more interested in the peg-board itself. I would love to have a big one for the kids room that was compatible with the BRIO construction sets.
Ha, I didn't even know BRIO had a construction set. We have the BRIO train and lots of LEGO here, but that somehow never crossed my radar. Now I kind of have to get one :)
For a bigger pegboard, I'd almost certainly go the plywood route, ideally with access to a CNC drill or a laser cutter through some community workshop. The hole precision mattered more than I expected, and getting a whole board right with a handheld drill was surprisingly tedious.
They are great sets. I would worry there would be lots of small splinters coming from the holes with plywood, at least with pine it looks like it would be an issue. Do you use pine or poplar or birch or bamboo or something else? Thanks.
