A couple of Cribbage boards drilled using the new jig (previous project). Jig works well only problems have been operator related.
Maple and Walnut Cribbage box with pin hinges.
Walnut and White Oak board with sliding dovetail storage for the pegs.

Your work is beautiful. The use of Walnut trim really makes the board stand out. I give your project 555J!

Nicely done! If I played cribbage (I know how…just don’t have the time) I would certainly love to have a board like that.
Thanks for sharing it with us….

WOW, these are excellent ! Your craftsmanship shows through for sure. Love the wood combination but even the quality more. Well done!
I’ve been playing cribbage for 40 + years and have always enjoyed it. Have wanted to make one and am really looking at your hole drilling jig.
Have you tried any with a curved track? If so, have you made a jig for that?
Thanks so much for sharing

Very nice Job!! A couple of questions for you. I like the way you store the pins. It looks like it takes a pretty good recess, so I don’t know how the cards fit in the interior of the “box” without interfering with the pin storage area. The dimensions must be deeper than they appear. Would you mind sharing the dimensions, etc? Thanks,

Thanks for all the great feedback.
Gene,
I have an Illustrator files for 2 and 3 track curved boards. When I get around to making them I will probably just use the jig for the “straightaways” and free hand the holes on the curves.
Don,
The board with the dovetail peg storage does not have card storage.

Motoman,
Hinges are made from 3/16” brass rod.
Scotsman,
It is not a hard game, but best learned from someone who knows how to play.
