cribbage players

Any cribbage players on this site?  Just over a year ago I bought a CNC router mill for my upcoming retirement (to keep busy & hopefully make a little cash)

I have about 200 cribbage boards I have designed over the years and now I can make them much nicer and much more easily than hand drilling 240-480 holes

Since I have had the machine I have also designed up (and made) quite a few other things.  I really like the 3D 'carving' capabilities of this thing.

this is the machine I bought, along with a 3hp spindle, and a few of the other accessories.

  • I do not play Cribbage, but I could one day be coerced to relax and have a drink and play some with my family or friends. I do have a question though if you do not mind related to woodworking.

    Do you know of any reputable forums that commission custom woodworking projects? Small scale, nothing big. Like a new wooden case for a pair of 8" or 12" Mitutoyo calipers so I can toss the cheap plastic ones.

  • I do not know of anything like that.

    I do not do that kind of woodworking either.  multiple pieces, glued together and so forth.

    I could make something out of 1x12 (3/4"x11 1/4") wood.  I don't have any planners or drum sanders.

    It would be a solid base, with the shape cut out, with a hinge holding a second piece on top.

    might not be perfectly flat (no planner) but would be pretty close.

    I pretty much use 1x12 poplar and red oak as there is a semi-local lumber yard that has 'prime' 1x12 in those 2 species all the time
