Fun and games in the workshop
Rather than go for a big furniture project this Christmas, I though I
would try something a bit more dainty... How I got on: http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?title=Chess_Board (the usual wiki warnings apply - first draft, not read it yet, and probably full of typos!) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Perhaps your next version could avoid the overhanging board edge and fold so that SWMBO can tuck it into a suitable bookshelf:-) -- Tim Lamb |

A beautiful job John, I particularly like that you have left enough thickness in the deck to allow it to be re-surfaced when it wears :-) -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

But in the top photo looks to me like the white king & queen are swapped - either that or he is wearing a dress! I thought it would look better if I slapped the pieces on their for the photo... it was only later I wondered if I had set them out correctly! That kind of answers the question. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
