Anything worth doing…

… is worth overdoing, and I hate to waste a perfectly good new workflow. :wink:

I’ve been a little obsessed this past week. :innocent:

Great looking cribbage boards!

You didn’t cut the holes with your glowforge did you? I would think that would have to be on a drill press

Look great!

I did - both designs are medium PG ply over thick Draftboard with matching holes cut on both pieces. I recently hand drilled a custom board and vowed not to put myself through that again. :sunglasses:

That makes sense, slick idea to get the needed depth.

I too have done a few cribbage boards with hand drilled holes. A nightmare I don’t ever want to do again!

Rockler has a jig you can use to get the placement of the holes correct. It’s in acrylic and has the holes grouped like the boards do so you only have to move the jig a few limes. But you do need to drill 300+ holes. Makes alignment & drill perpendicularity easier though.

Here’s a link to the post describing that project: https://community.glowforge.com/t/bespoke-cribbage-board-wedding-gift

My drilling jig approach was inspired by the Rockler jig mentioned above. 391 holes, to be precise…:wink:

I’ve done a few and cut the holes with the laser. It worked pretty well once I got the settings right for the material.

I have a straw cleaning tool for my metal straws that worked perfectly to poke out the cut outs and also clean off some of the char dust. https://www.amazon.com/Straw-Brush-Cleaner-10-ihch-5-inch/dp/B07DNNT27X/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
