I've been asked to build an item(s) for the Christmas party. They have a raffle and also give prizes for games, etc. A coin bank was suggested. Does anyone have a link to plans for unique items that would show off my machining skills? CNC mill and lathe are available. Thanks, Randy R
I just finished drafting up the cribbage board Smid shows in his "CNC Programming Handbook" on the CD in IntelliCad [Autocad v.2004 format]. [Hole spacing was a right b***h]
Features such as the hole locations, "29 outline," index lines, corner rounding locations are all on different layers. Smid sized it for 7 X 9 X 3/4 inch maple, but no reason not to make it out of aluminum. I can see machining except for the "29" outline and "division lines," color anodizing, and then machining the "29 outline" and index lines. I am modifying the arc dims for the older machines/controllers with a 1 quadrant arc length limit if this is a problem.
Send me a good email address is you would like a copy, or I can post to my web site if several people are interested.

Ive always wanted to make the deer figures scaled down from the 4X8 plywood pattern, to say small ones for the desk, out of 1/8 Al? I have the full size DXF if anyone is interested. Its the 8pc pattern with antlers,legs one deer up & one down eating? The Wife's been buging me for years to make some for the yard, but last year she found a pair at a garage sale- cheap!. Yah I'm off the hook! Hmmm The Ti things have me thinking, gotta whole bin of scrap.
to download Smid's cribbage board as cribb29.pdf, cribb29.dwg which is my layout in AutoCAD/InteliCAD v.2004 with hole spacing and cnc dimensions such as start/end and center points for the arcs and graduations. Lots of layers. I couldn't figure out a way to get a tabular listing of the peg hole locations, but you can pick these off using [PITA but doable]
Also came across another 2 player pegboard straight layout that I included as a dxf file.
You will need winzip, pkunzip, etc. to extract to pdf,dwg, and dxf files.
If you are into cnc browse the page where the cribb.zip file is located for more "stuff"
