Rockler’s XL Cribbage Board Templates make an 8×28" game board big enough to play without my “cheater” glasses when scoring, and the easy-to-grip optional metal pegs (no. 49537, $16) add a nice touch. Plus, the templates make it easy to crank out lots of game boards to give as gifts. The kit comes with two templates, a special spring-loaded ¼" drill bit, and two registration pins. You drill the first group of holes with one template; then use the other five times in a step-and-repeat process drilling only the straight-row holes, and then a sixth time drilling all the holes on that template. The registration pins align the template each time with holes you just drilled, and even though they hold the template pretty well, I still clamped it to avoid any miscues. —Tested by Dave Campbell, Editorial Content Chief
