Metal slide to hold criggabe boards pegs in storage hole

Sorry about the spelling that would be Cribbage not Criggabe

I think I'd look (starting at my local hardware store) for brass and stainless shim stock. In a real pinch I might pick up an inexpensive set of feeler gauges and buff off the thickness markings.

Time to make a trip to the local scrap metals yard in your area.

Get a small sheet of brass shim stock, say 020"-030" thick, and cut what you need.

Probably even get the yard to shear, say 1" wide blanks, which you could then cut to length and finish with a file.

Have fun.

It's a woodworking project right? Use a wooden slide. Use a small dovetail bit in your router and rout a slanted groove along the edge of the cavity. Rout an reverse slant on the door and you've got an all wood cribbage board. Make it snug and lube it with some wax so it slides easily. I made the cavity in mine large enough to hold a deck of cards and the pegs.
