Tim, I really like how you did the multi-axis turning for the knights. Very effective!

Nice looking set, Tim! Just a thought---did you get the idea for the offset turning of the knights' necks from the ShopSmith website?

Howdy. Correct. None of this is my own original idea. And their pieces look a whole heck of a lot better than mine.

Thanks---I thought that knight looked familiar. I remember my father making these something like 25 years ago... I think he used maple and padauk. I don't believe he made more than like two or three sets, one of which was a gift for my uncle.
Gadzooks, I can't wait to get the money together for my lathe---I'm thinking about doing chess pieces as well, and am considering larger diameter pieces. I was wondering how I was going to make a chessboard without any real flatwork equipment other than a handsaw and miter box, but then I realized that I can most likely get some good veneers that would make for some interesting possibilites for alternate boards.
