The patterns are from a puzzle book, forgot about it till I saw the post on The Triangle Peg Puzzle.
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4185

There are 3 games

9 Peg straight line - 2 different colour pegs
15 Hole triangle
21 Hole triangle

The more holes, the more complicated

I just used some scrap-crap SA Pine.
Drilled the 15 hole first

Not that great, lots of tear out (new drill bit)

So, how to deal with the tear out?

21 Hole - Mix some Gorilla glue with water and then paint each hole which had been marked with a centre punch.

After drilling the holes looked a lot better, very little tear out.

Both will be painted so the whole piece was sealed with a mixture of Gorilla and water.
An 800 grit sanding and then spraying.

I’ve found the best thing for drilling small holes with a good finish is a nice sharp end mill. The work needs clamping in place ideally though.

I find Lip & Spur bits good for clean holes however the quality varies hugely.
Drills from Wealden have much wider lands and become my favourite. I go nowhere near Chinese ones now
Wealden sell them individually in 1mm steps up to at least 20mm.

Sorry that does not help you much Phil :oops:

Easy to grind your own from HSS drill bits but you need a decent square edged grinding wheel - Rob
I no longer work for Axminster Tools & Machinery.

Bob, I have some, but not the right size. Will have a look next time a go a-shoppin.

It will more than likely be Chinese stuff.

When I made these from Mahogany years ago, very clean holes with a bit out the drawer (general bits for wood and metal)


Rob - I have a grinder but would need to replace the wheels :(
