Chess set plans for the lathe

And I wasted my time clicking on this thread thinking I would find someone

rather than a critical statement of someone else's attempt at craftsmanship.

I certainly would never agree to play with that set, in any game that meant
anything -- the knight looks *way* too much like a bishop.
This was not a criticism of anyone's craftsmanship. Rather, it's a clear
statement that the plans are unsuitable for their intended purpose. A chess
set in which knights can easily be confused with bishops may perhaps still
have some artistic merit, but it's absolutely useless for playing chess.
