Making a Cribbage Board with Inlays
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- In this video I make a cribbage board for my long-time friend who is turning 80 on July 12, 2023. We are going to drive up to Toronto and surprise him with it. The board is 18" x 5.25" (457mm x 133mm) made from six different types of wood, four of which are used for inlay. The board is made from highly figured quarter-sawn sycamore. The tracks are inlaid with walnut, cherry, and padauk. His initials are inlaid with ebony. The sixth type of wood is a piece of Madagascar rosewood at the bottom of the base.
The board has storage for a deck of cards and pegs in the detachable base. The cribbage board attaches to the base with concealed magnets.
If you don't know how to play cribbage, you can get an explanation of this and many other games @TripleSGames. You can watch his cribbage video here: • How to play Cribbage

That's a wonderful tribute to you friend and I am sure it was well received and appreciated! !! !!!
Beautiful work!
I don't care what anyone says..... CNC doesn't take away from craftsmanship. As an up and coming woodworker that will start out by making cribbage boards, I now have a benchmark to strive for. Well done, sir.
I may consider making one. Now days its hard to find someone to play with. Most who have never used a CNC have no idea how much time and effort it takes to make anything. Good job showing the time involved even if only the machining time and not the additional setup and programing time. I'm currently working on making a set of chess pieces on my CNC for a board I made using your board building process.
Are you using a fourth axis to do that? I'd be interested to see how they turn out.
Beautiful...but..wow..lot of work.👍
My hometown is Chicago. My grandfather taught me how to play cribbage. We used a cribbage board made for him by the carpentry shop at the steel mill where my grandfather worked, inspecting and later selling wheels for railroad freight cars. It was made out of cherry and of had very simple track design. Our pegs were cut off nails. Your design is quite elegant and I loved the sycamore grain pattern.
That's a great story. We lived in Chicago for six years and loved it!
Cribbage is also popular in the Navy, especially submarines. My uncle, a US Naval officer in WWII, taught my sister and I as teens. Although he’s s gone, my sister and I still play. A few years ago, I cobbled together a few scrap pieces and made us a board with the playing field in the shape of a S for our respective last names. It’s several years old and has witnessed many a good skunking.
"It's also popular in Canada..." Can confirm. So many wonderful memories of playing this awesome card game with friends and relatives. What a thoughtful gift, man. That's not a cribbage board...that's a work of art that can also be used to play cribbage. First rate work, as always.
Thank you so much. I grew up in Canada, so that's how I got exposed to the game as a child. It was a pretty popular game in our family.
I don’t know if I could bring myself to play on such an amazing piece of art! Such a beautiful piece! Obviously a VERY special friend!🤗❤️😎
Mike do not worry about what others say about woodworking. When the hand saw / table saw / skill saw / band saw came along everyone said the same thing "That is not wood working because you are not using your hands". As with every industry /craft that is out there when time progresses forward new tools come into play to make it just a bit easier.
Beautiful work. If that's all it takes is 30 years of friendship to get one of these, can I start the clock now? LOL. I love playing Cribbage, and this is the nicest board I have ever seen.
I don’t play cribbage but if someone made me a board like that I’d learn! That’s beautiful. I wouldn’t make it mostly because I don’t have a CNC. But if I had a CNC, and had a friend that enjoyed cribbage I’d make one for them.
Outstanding work!! I'm sure he will cherish this board and think of your kindness every time he uses it. Beautiful !!
West coast Canadian here, and every kid grew up learning to play crib
That is a great gesture and amazing work. If I didn't have family from Maine and visit with them ever since I was young, I would never have known about the game.
Truly amazing work, Mike! Beautiful project!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wow! That's a lot of work. Beautifully done.
YES, I would make it! I played Cribbage in my youth!!
Nice
That is unbelievable beautiful. Wow
Outstanding workmanship 👍👍
I’d buy it haha
That is a kingly gift indeed.
Magnificent - no other words
Felicitaciones!! Realmente es una obra de arte! Solo un maestro puede hacer ese trabajo! Muy bueno! Sin duda vas a sorprender a tu amigo con ese trabajo. Por estas latitudes no se conoce el juego, así que voy a ver de que se trata. Te mando un fuerte abrazo desde Lomas de Solymar, Uruguay. Germán.
Wow... Just amazing woodcrafting skills... Can I be your bestman too please ;)
😂
Good job. Don't knew Cribbage...!
un gran trabajo!!!...
Outstanding work! You just raised the bar for cribbage boards, that’s for sure
nice
That is amazing craftsmanship and an awesome video. Great job on both. You didnt list your CNC ma hine nor the software you used. Love it! I cane from canada and have family there too. I want to make a few boards for them.
I have a Laguna IQ that I bought four years ago. They've changed their model line-up, but I think it equates to what they now call their Creator Pro Desktop CNC Router. I use the Vectric VCarve Pro software that comes with it. Good luck with your projects!
@@Woodumakeit that is still the best cribbage board I have seen yet. Would you be willing to share the VCarve files?
My dad would play every weekend with his friends for money at an old small store
That’s the 29 of cribbage boards Mike!
I still remember the first time I scored 29. I was like 13 or 14 at the time and it was amazing!
Question: Why do you insert 2 magnets into each hole? I am about to make my first board with storage and I am researching how to place the magnets correctly. This is a beautiful board! thank you for the great details!
I doubled up the magnets to increase the attractive force. When I tested with a single magnet, it didn't seem powerful enough to hold together. A larger diameter would have worked too.
Hi Mike. Beautiful work! Out of curiosity where do you buy your wood??
I live in Virginia, so I get most of my domestic hardwood at Northland Forest Products and C.P. Johnson Lumber. For exotic wood, I go to Exotic Lumber in Annapolis.
A great gift for a lifelong friend. Well done, Mike. Can you tell me which Laguna CNC you are using in the video? Laguna IQ?
Thanks for the comment! Yes, that's a Laguna CNC that I have. When I bought mine back in 2019, they had the Laguna iQ and the Laguna iQ Pro. I just checked their site and it seems like they only have the Pro version but they've added a new "Creator" line. I'm not sure, but I would imagine that mine is equivalent to their Creator Pro model.
Have you gotten the rotary axis for your cnc? This would be perfect for making chess pieces
15 2 15 4 15 6 pair is 8 plus knobs, nine
In my experience, the slower you move with a router bit, the more it's going to burn. I'm also pretty sure I've heard this elsewhere as a typical thing. However, CNC machines are always very slow, right? How do they avoid this burning issue?
Question : What is the hole spacing ? I first learned to play cribbage while stationed on board the USS Northampton CC1, which was home ported out of Norfolk, VA. Not too far from you. That was in the '60s. (fine kindling)
The holes have a 1/8" diameter and there is a 0.1" space between them (0.225" from the start of one hole to the start of the next hole). Norfolk is not to far away! We've been there several times.
You should sell the CNC files for this.
Hi. Thanks for the video. What model Laguna CNC machine do you use?
When I bought mine, it was called a Laguna IQ, but it looks like they've changed their model line-up. I think the one that I have is fairly close to what they call their Creator Pro Desktop CNC Router.
@@Woodumakeit Thanks very much. You do fine work. Keep it up!
What was the flat depth of the vcarve tool path that you used for the male and female inlays?
For the female portion, I used a flat depth of 0.12". For the male inlay, I used a start depth of 0.08" and a flat depth of 0.04". I almost always use those same settings when I am doing inlay.
