People seemed to like them, but they wanted a more continuous hole layout like I do with my larger portable boards, so I found a pattern that fit the size of the board and I made a few more out of different hardwoods.
I was still not happy with the way the pegs flopped around in the holes, but I did not have an 0.0781" (5/64") drill bit long enough to go as deep as I needed. I figured I could use a 1/8" end mill and make a channel deep enough to get the 0.0781" hole deep enough, and it worked, so I now have a board with an internal slot with the holes to hold the pegs securely without the rattling around.
I am going to unapologetically copy your project. Very nice work, love being able to ābring backā vintage style items that arenāt as widely available anymore.
List? singular? Thereās the inspiration folder in my dropbox, the old notes I kept in Evernote, random saved posts on facebook, a handful of saved images on my phone, about a dozen different pinterest boards, a trello board or two, and now 39 fricken ancient game boards
