Author Message   Cruisin Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 08:27 pm:        I was at a friends house and they have a game that one of her uncles invented. It's kind of a cross between cribbage, sorry, and cards. The uncle made a few of the boards for the family, but we had such a blast, I want to make a few up for myself. I started playing with the emachineshop.com software, and it's looking...interesting. I have several holes in my board already, and I'm not looking forward to trying to figure out the rest. So that being said, I knew there are some great people on here that have material and tools to do the game justice. I can give more details, even sketch it out on paper. Ideally I would love it to be machined out of aluminum, but I have a feeling nobody would be willing to do it for that cheap. Wood would be okay if that's what I can get. Originally I envisioned it being about an inch thick, with the underside machined out to lighten the board. Potentially as big as 18 inches long and six inches wide, since it can have six players. It would involve some thin machining on the top for the peg holes, the home and start boxes, and numbers for the holes... Anybody willing to give it a shot? I don't have a lot of money, but would love to see what can be done.   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 09:15 pm:        Email me the sketches and dimensions, I can't promise fast turn around but I have been slow at work. All I ask is that I can keep the files to add to my design portfolio...   Herobluebuell Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 10:11 pm:        If spiderman can't get too it you could email me the sketches and Dims and i could do my best for ya.   Cruisin Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 09:39 am:        Thanks guys! Spidey, I e-mailed you a rough sketch, with some details...let me know what you think...am I crazy?   Spiderman Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 09:52 am:        Well the game doesn't make sense to me from the basic synopsis but the design is simple and easy enough... I will start playin around with it today but for some reason we are picking up here lol   Cruisin Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 10:29 am:        Yeah, when I first heard it, I was a bit confused. Once you actually play it, things get fun, and it starts to make sense.   Gunut75 Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 12:52 pm:        I have a CNC mill open at my shop right now. The only limit I have is time. If you want to email me a sketch, I'll let you know if I can get this done in a timely fashion. If its peg holes and pockets, I can get it done for quite cheap. If you still need help, let me know!   Sleez Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 01:49 pm:        i can't offer any help in the machining, but i am interested in the game!?   Cruisin Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 07:33 pm:        Well, I'll give more details once I get a better drawing of the board...I think I've written up all the rules.
