I just recently finished my Space Invaders cutting boards, and I have to say, they turned out awesome. I don't have my digital camera with me right now, so I can't post a picture just yet, but they are seriously sweet (and I made an extra one to sell, so let me know if anyone's interested). So now that I have finished that project, I am about to start on the next thing, which is aTriforce cutting board. So here are my current plans:

Photobucket

So I have one question for all the Zelda geeks out there (and anyone else that might have an opinion). In the original Legend of Zelda game, thetriforce is a right triangle (as in a 45,45,90 triangle) made up of four smaller right triangles (or I guess technically three smaller right triangles and one right-triangular void). In every other Zelda game, comic, bad cartoon, t-shirt, tattoo, etc. that I have ever seen, the triforce is an equilateral triangle. So the obvious question is, which one do I use? My natural inclination is to go with the equilateral triangles, because that is by far the most common version, but I could see an argument for the original as well. Either way, it's gonna be rad to the max for sure, and I'll probably make an extra one of those, too, so speak up if it turns out that this is the one thing that you feel has been missing from your life.

Pingu is extra classy. You can tell by the top hat. And the sparkles.

is that all endgrain glued together? and what are you using to cut the zelda board, cause it looks like your idea requires the thinnest saw blade ever or a laser cutter

So, to get started, Billie stood in front of the computer in the kitchen, closed her eyes and counted to twenty while Oliver, at a laptop in the living room and Joseph in his house waddled off into other Club Penguin rooms to hide.

I think equilateral is the way to go. It's way more common and aesthetically appealing. I can't even find a picture of the triforce from the original game to compare, but definitely equilateral.

I'd definitely go equilateral. It's sort of the way to be.

And being that you're making more board designs and extras of those boards...
Is there any chance you'd end up possibly selling some of these extras?

A Zelda themed cutting board is not the one thing that has been missing from my life. It IS however, the one thing that has been missing from my boyfriend's life and I would LOVE to purchase one for him. Please, please, please. You can get in touch with me at playful dot pixie at gmail dot com. Please do.

Thanks for the positive feedback! The pieces are glued. I used Titebond III, which is a waterproof glue that is FDA approved for indirect food contact.

You should tell Invader about your cutting boards; he's the French artist who puts tile mosaics up all over the world.

Based on the title screen, it looks more like a equilateral triangle than a right triangle: www.consoleclassix.com/Xtreme-Zelda.html
