Re: Portable Chess Set W/ Storage
Very nice. I made this set a while back and sold it very quickly at a Farmer's Market. I also made a custom set with animals that was a take off from this set. The customer wanted animals that they had worked with in their careers. A lot of time and work, but customers were very pleased. Thank goodness it is only a hobby for me. I didn't get nearly as fancy with the board, but yours is exceptional. Your pieces look very good as well. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Portable Chess Set W/ Storage
Very nice work! Very impressive combination of CNC and manual craftsmanship.
I presume the pieces were made using double sided carving method. If so, this is a very good example of the technique.
I saw mention of the 'files'. Where would I find the 'files'?

I have plans for the board w/storage and can make a plaster of paris mold for casting the drawer embed w/rubber epoxy.
I have converted the vcarve files to mm and added two piranhas per cut also.
If you would like these plans and mold PM me.
