My wife and I are avid scrabblers and want to make our own board. We have the latest one commercially available, but it's not so great. Looks good, but has a lot of problems. Unlike the earlier version, the ridges-separator splines don't hold the tiles in place.

Here is a shot of the current board. Does anyone know where I can find plans for building a snazzy version? Or any suggestions?

Another question: what kind of tools can one use for making such small items as spline separators? Is there a miniature table saw or some such? Seems like this is a general problem: how to work very small items precisely and without danger.

Best,
