Has anyone made a custom cribbage board?

[TomP]

I am very interested in making custom cribbage boards. Is the x-carve capable and has anyone done this? I don’t have my x-carve yet but would like to make them when I get some experience with the machine.

A member of a woodworking forum I’m on frequently has been doing custom cribbage boards. You can contact him on Family Woodworking or possibly on his personal website, Burro Viejo Woodworking We have a CNC sub-forum on FWW, if you’d like to join us over there.

I was thinking of this the other day. The X-Carve should be more than capable of creating these boards.

@Rusty

The X-Carve should be more than capable of creating these boards.

The man I mentioned has made several custom cribbage boards on his SO2, which is virtually identical to X-Carve.

feel free to ask, that’s how we learn.

That one looks awesome. I was thinking something a little simpler for my first try though, once I get some experience with some simpler projects. Maybe an oval shape board with family names in the center.

A busy life and pretty much just “for sale” items when I get the time has derailed me from making these. Still something always on my mind though. Any updates or has anyone here made a cribbage board recently?

Need a bit of help with cribbage board template - Inkscape help

I successfully carved a test cut (from Easel) with just the holes of this board and they turned out great. I told Easel I was using a 1/32" downcut end mill but I actually used a 1/16". Today, I spent a couple hours re-doing the image adding lines. I’d like to have the dots be a separate layer from the lines when I import this svg from Inkscape, so that I can change the depth for the holes and lines. So far, I’ve not been successful. Any Inkscape gurus able to help with this conversion s…

Finally finished the cribbage board

A while back, I asked for some help laying out this design in Inkscape. Thanks to those who responded. I ended up re-doing the design in my vector editor of choice (don’t laugh) ArcMap. After several attempts at exporting directly to .SVG, I was able to get something workable in Easel. For this, I had to do the “select by cut type” and delete, do the holes, undo, then select the other type, do the lines with a v-bit, undo, etc. Kind of a pain, but it turned out okay. The top swivels on a p…

Cribbage around the lake

This was a lot of work and turned out nicer than I thought it would. I digitized the bathymetry lines in ArcMap and I also layed out the cribbage lines using a few GIS commands. I suppose that means that all these holes are geo-referenced. I’ve never made a cribbage board before, so I didn’t know how deep the holes should be. They cut just fine with the small down spiral bit but I didn’t set my depth deep enough so I had to use a hand drill to deepen them up. I also cut a …
