  2. Default here is a couple to look at

    Here are a couple to look at. They were posted in the forums in the past. There are a couple of people who do a lot of cribbage boards so hopefully they will chime in for you. You can cut and past elements from the boards I am giving you as well. Have fun and let us see your finished pieces!

    Got the board pretty good now I want a pocket on the back for the peg -no problem - except = how to run a slot on 3 sides for a cover to slid into. can't find a router bit to do it.

    After you mill your pocket, I would use a router table and a dovetail bit to finish the sliding slot. At present, there is no safe way that I know of to accomplish this task on the CW.

    I wasn't thinking of using the CW but a key cutter or slotting saw with a bearing?? But the wedge of the dovetail bit is a good thought!

    I use a dovetail bit but I use a jig that I clamp onto the board, not a router table. BTW I use the same jig with a straight bit to cut the pocket.
