I got mine several months ago and I love it to death. I will now make decorated cookies for no reason at all, because it's really no trouble......as opposed to before, when I had to have some motivation to want to go through the hassle of dealing with the dough. I have used it for all manner of dough projects in addition to cookies too. And the clean up is a breeze. Love that thing! Now if I only had cupboard big enough to store it in........
I leave mine under the sofa in the living room. I have an open floor plan, and the kitchen is right next to the living room, so it's just a few steps away!
Question:
Do you still roll out on wax or parchment paper? Or directly on the doboard. If on the doboard, doesn't the grease from the dough get into the wood?
You don't need wax or parchment paper, just a little bit of flour. If you don't have one and you make a lot of cookies I HIGHLY recommend it, you won't be sorry you bought it.
I ordered mine yesterday and it's already here!!! I'm gonna try it out tommorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i heard about it a few days ago from bakinccc ....
i have not ordered it yet. (cost) a little too high at the moment. but after reading all the posts i may have to cave. but i just ordered rings from amazon so i will try those first. but my bday is also coming up and i will tell hubby. i normally get books but LORD knows i dont need anymore.
I was intrigued to know what a Dobord was.
Wow - i have never seen one of these let alone heard of them.
What a brillante idea.... 
Will go back and see if one of the sites ship internationally.
Again i say - what a brillante idea.
The things i have seen and learnt since being here is just wonderful (costing me $$$$'s but wonderful all the same 
) 
why can't we have everything on tap like in the USA -
Can someone tell me how exactly this works. Is it just one frame on a base that adjust heights or is it several different "frames" that are interchangable depending on what thickness you need? Hope that makes sense!
thanks so much
It is a large board that has removable side rails. You loosen the rail on one end so you can remove it, then adjust all the rails along slots/guides in the side of the board to get the depth you want. I hope that isn't too confusing!
Yes it's a piece of wood within a frame. The frame can be adjusted to four different depths from one eighth of an inch to a half inch I think it is.
"Under the sofa" sounds like an unusual place to keep food equipment.

But it works great! I kept the original packaging, so I slide it into the plastic sleeve, stick it back in the shallow box, and under the sofa it goes.
The only other place I've seen that carries the Doboard is Cake n' Crumbs http://www.cakencrumbs.com/productslist.asp?pid=39&sub=cookie%20accessories
I think with shipping it was a slightly better deal from Armchair World and that's where I ordered mine (it shipped fast). Still swear by that thing and it's the best thing to happen to my baking Andrea

Mine came for Cake n' Crumbs, too! I can't believe how much use I've gotten out of this one item! LOVE having it.
I have a couple of questions about this:
1) do you cut the cookies right on the board after you've rolled the dough out on it, or do you transfer the dough somewhere else before using the cookie cutters?
2) The cookie tutorial on here by Antonia74 recommends cutting the cookies on a silpat covered baking sheet and then chilling them in the freezer, and then popping the chilled cutouts and moving them to another silpat covered baking sheet to minimize distortion of the shape. How does using the Doboard fit in with that process, or do you do something else to keep from squishing and stretching the cookie shape as you move it around?
TIA
Sagebrush-
I use Penny's cookie recipe so I don't have to chill it. I'm going to buy the Dobard this week(after everyone said it was great) and I'll just take my cookies from the Dobord to the oven.
Hope this helps.
I have to make 600 cookies for my daughter's wedding favors so I'm hoping the Dobord will help me and my helpers out!
I adore my Dobord!! I roll out the cookie dough on parchment paper (with saran on top), then slip that onto a cookie sheet and into the fridge to chill. Then I take it out and cut the shapes--sometimes I have to re-chill before baking depending on how long it took me to cut the shapes--
hope that helps
My dh wants to make me one. Any suggestions? What type of wood would he use? Would it need any special treatment? How does it go together? Would it just be easier to buy it?
Thanks!
I know I am a little late to the party, but I have an almost new Dobord to sell (I'm the one that used it to make favors for my daughter's wedding above). It is the greatest thing, but I haven't used it since then, but have oiled it and kept it in beautiful condition.
I was just wondering if anyone knew a site where I list it? Thank you so much for any help.
