Nice job so far TLC! I started a chess set many moons ago and never could match up the pawns well enough to keep going. Someday I'll get a round tuit.

Those are looking good so far! I have a chess board on my to-do wish list. Been hoarding some special pieces of wood for the project.

Looks really great so far. I'd love to see your knight when it's done along with how you did it. I'd love to make a really nice chess set one of these days...

Those chess pieces look great. I made a set a couple years ago but I want to make another one now. My pawns weren't consistent in size and the beads had a lot of tearout...probably because I made a beading tool out of a screwdriver.  A chess table/board and a new chess set are on my roundtoit list. |

A chess table/board and a new chess set are on my roundtoit list. all i got is some curving tools and yes i use the screw drivers too. ill finish the rest of the pieces this winter. as long as they come out close its ok with me its just for looks in my living room. |
