I'd like to make a chessboard. It should be easy enough. Take 32
squares of one color, 32 of another, glue them together and frame it.

But .. HOW do I make the super-clean cuts needed for a piece that small?

For example, say the squares were as small as 1" on a side. How does
one make so clean a cut?

Also ... what if I were making the board in an elongated fashion, so
that the squares were slanted a bit instead. Now, there would be even
less tolerance for the cut.

While it can be done, that is one of the worst ways to make a game board.

Without going into a long detailed post, see if you can find/watch a
WoodWorks segment, perhaps something on diy.net, where David J. Marks did
his gameboard segment.

You will long the tricks if you can find it.
