If you’re unfamiliar with cribbage, it’s a great game that uses the board and pegs to keep score. It’s a fantastic two player game but can also scale up to more players. A handmade board only heightens the experience. We love to travel with ours to coffee shops, bars, or getaways. For a quick overview on how to play, watch this video: • How to Play Cribbage: ...

Nice quality boards!
Love the young helper Nick❤
The best!
Great video!
You have inspired me to build these boards for friends and family. Thanks for the content.
Awesome! Have fun!
I love cribbage. My upper generation played and passed it on to us. My sister and I play a lot. We made a scrap wood board and hand drilled the holes into the shape of an “S” for our last names.
Such a great game!
Thanks, appreciate your help
Lindas peças ! Parabéns !
Hi, love the work you do. What is the thickness of both pieces of the cribbage board with storage?
Love your work and videos. Any chance you could share the CNC file for the cribbage board? Please and thank you.
How much do you charge for your boards? How many hours labor are in each one (using the forstner bit/chisel method)? I’ve been working on Fall show items and I think these would be a great addition to the table but I don’t have the time to test the market before the show. Would like to take a chance and make a couple but would love a little insight into what to expect in the Southeast US market. Love your videos!
Have you ever used Odie on your boards? I’m ready to wrap up a Black walnut maple board and I thought I’d give it a try. Appreciate your help!
I have used it before. Decent product for food safe projects. Doesn’t hold up as well for others. But stopped using after the owner repeatedly blasted hobbyists and garage woodworkers. Long history with lots there, so stopped using it. Plenty of other good finishes out there. Walrus Oil furniture butter I’ve found works almost identically. Great company. Great product.
I noticed even on your 4 player boards you only have a one deck slot. You went thru every thing so rapidly I couldn't tell how deep that slot was.
I make these for our Lions Club….for give aways or prizes at our Club sponsored Cribbage tournaments
Thanks. Will study the rules of the game, we don’t have that kind of game here in Russia. I see that you work in your garage …. Are you facing any problems with your neighbors ? I mean the noise from your machines, no complaints? ))
I have a cnc working in a garage, old ladies Love to come and complain ))
It’s a great game and worth learning. We have a good relationship with the neighbors and try to be respectful of when to run the loud machines.
WHOOPS, my bad. I slowed the feed down and I seen only two and three player boards. I also use steel templates for the patterns.
