Cribbage board hole pattern

[Rick P]

I have a cribbage board hole pattern that is round to fit on a 15" diameter board. The pattern is in a bmp file. Is there a way to have the CW machine drill all these 1/8" diameter holes?

Yes you can make 1/8 holes with 1/8 drill bit. You would need to add them in the pattern.

15" is just a little large. You might be able to do it. 14.5 is supposed to be max width. As for the holes, just manually placing on the bitmap may not be very accurate.

I cannot resist a layout challenge. This took awhile. (I can edit if something needs a change.)

Amen to that, and that go for a lot of other folks on this forum.

WOW...WOW...amazing !!! The only thing to change would be adding another 4 holes at the start. Cribbage patterns start with 2 rows of 4 holes. Each player has two pegs. I hope that makes sense. The needed row of 4 holes is at the bottom of the pattern, just to the left of the centerline. Currently you have one row of 4 holes in this spot.

How on earth did you do this so nicely ?? I tried to visually place a CW drilled hole over the faint image of a jpg hole, but it was very difficult to get them lined up straight by eye...in fact I think it was impossible.

Thank you...thank you ! !

I should add...a St. Paul policeman asked me to make this cribbage board for his wife's birthday. I am going to carve the CW pattern of the NAVY seal logo in the center. This policeman's son is in the NAVY. I was almost going to tell him I just could not get the hole pattern to look good. Now I can get this cribbage made for the June 16 birthday. AGAIN...THANK YOU !!!

I did not even notice the missing holes. (I am not a cribbage player) I will fix that when I get home as well as post the file which shows my method.
