1) Submitted by John, from Pueblo West, CO. on 11/1/2009 Customer Rating: I used the template to make a cribbage table for my daughter. She wanted 4 tracks so friends could all play, and using the track template it was very easy to adjust to add another track on either side to make the 4 tracks.I found that using a fine point sharpie permanent marker worked better than the paint stick with the marking template.

2) Submitted by Dad, from Indianapolis, IN on 8/7/2009 Customer Rating: I have used this product to make 3 boards so far. No problems so far just make sure you use a fast enough drill speed - 1000 rpm plus lean and clear drilling. The line template should be used only after sealing the wood in order to provide a surface for the paint to adhere to. I use two coats of spray shellac lightly sanding to 1200 grit between coats and followed by one coat after 30 minutes of allowing the paint to dry.

4) Submitted by Charles Stromme, from Cottage Grove, OR on 12/5/2008 Customer Rating: I bought these products in about 2006 or so. The template is fine, not perfect, and I've made a dozen or so boards with it for gifts. The holes tend to wear out and open up but a lighter touch (than mine) might be the answer for that. The bit is fine. I bought two of the fine pens and the line template but the ink ran (spread) on one of my first boards, spoiled it, and I won't use them again. Yes, I should have tried them on some scrap first. Later, I did try them on scraps and couldn't find a species they wouldn't run on when applied. As an alternative, add skunk holes to the drilling template which is what I did later on, just something to indicate where the skunk lines are. That would make a much better template but at the cost, I suppose, of selling pens and line templates. The other lines are simply decorative and you may or may not like them. They don't add anything that I value, I don't use them and I don't miss them. I use double-sided tape to attach and that works fine for me. Although this product is less than perfect, if you use it with just a little care and use decent wood with a careful finish you can make cribbage boards that your friends will be happy to receive. I just dragged mine out the other day to make up a surprise commission for two of them for gifts. That more than paid for the original cost of the template. All in all, I would buy the template again if I don't have an aluminum version made up locally. BTW, the Rockler premium pegs are the best I've ever used and should be the only ones you consider.

5) Submitted by Myron Bernard, from McCormick, SC on 5/6/2008 Customer Rating: I fastened the template with a small piece of double-sided tape in each corner and used the self-centering bit to drill the holes. Extremely easy. I used a scratch awl with the line template and then painted in the the grooves. Looks great. I also drilled a hole in each side of the starting end and turned a small tapered peg to use for peg storage.

6) Submitted by Matt from MN on 1/2/2008 Customer Rating: To hold the cribbage board template down I used two number 2 or 3 screws with washers (one on each end). I laid the template on the piece and drilled a hold thru one the template holes (where one of the pegs would go) with a 1/16 bit. I used a screw with washer and screwed it right to the piece. After I was all done with the drilling of the holes, I removed the screws and drilled the last two 1/8 inch holes where the screws were. The screws were smaller than a 1/8 of an inch so you'll never know. Worked great.

7) Submitted by Bob Piche, from Ottawa, ON CANADA on 12/23/2007 Customer Rating: Regarding the templates and to fasten them to the wood. What I did is lightly hammer tiny nails in the cribbage holes in the corners (4), Then I used the Rockler 1/8" insty-drive self centering bit to do all the holes leaving the four ones where I put the nails in to do last. That was easy!!! bob
