They are all done with a scroll saw. It's a long story, but I decided once to build a chess set and it took me 5 tries to get the right tool. Then I had to get the right pattern, and low and behold, I just signed a contract with a publisher to write a book about them...
This blog and the contents are an outlet for my creative energies using a scroll saw. I am a pattern designer, for both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional objects. I am a woodworker and love the wood I work with. I'm learning the differences in the wood and what will work and what wont. I will occasionally provide free patterns for scroll saw enthusiasts, but all will carry my copyright.
Just a guy gettin' by in this world. Family, cars, kids, hobbies, issues... the whole package. Look, life is complicated. It's messy, it will never be clean and pretty. So each of us have to deal with the hand we are dealt, and NOBODY get's dealt 4 of a kind.
Wow! What a gorgeous chess set! How did you make the pieces--are they carved?
