So my weekly group met last night and I brought a new little craft I made to help with the fact, that while I'm the DM, I really don't have many miniatures. So I took a piece of 1/2" plywood, I was originally going to go with 1/4" but decided that it might be a bit too flimsy during transit, then cut it into squares matching this diagram.
I then sanded the surface, gave it a primer coat of white paint and then used Rust-Oleum 241140 Dry Erase Brush-On Kit to give it a nice customizable finish.
Out of a 24"x10" scrap of plywood I had laying about in my garage, I was able to cut out a total of: 8 large sized templates, 8 huge sized templates, 4 gargantuan sized, and 2 colossal sized squares.
After trying it out tonight at the game, in which they actually worked pretty well, allowing for combat situations to be set up fairly quickly, and since all my players seemed to think they were a good idea, I figured you'd like to see them as well.
Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but if it isn't feel free to move it to where it belongs.
Thanks, or really didn't require much work, and the only tools you really need are a tape measure(if without a tablesaw) a pencil, and something to cut the wood with, I used a table saw, but I'm sure if you're careful you could get away with a circular saw, or god forbid, a handsaw of some sort.
You might consider reposting this in the MINIATURES forum, althought with a more indicative title.
Despite the vague nature of this thread's title, I clicked anyways, and then skimmed. But once I saw the word "craft", I decided to read. I'm guessing it was a nice piece of plywood and not the kind I put on the walls in my garage. Whatever the case, that's a nice looking finished product. Well done.

Thanks, I'll move it over there now
