Meezo Posted September 19, 2016 Share You'll be better served by getting trusses. Cheap, plenty available and already treated. Plus, the prep work to get them to the right dimensions is FAR less. never thought of it as option, thanks will consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha - sorry - no idea who can make it in CT - must be someone who makes pallets http://www.barose.co.za had the pictures on their site - maybe they will know - looks like they are CT based.

V12man Posted September 20, 2016 Share Anyone with a handmade chess set? I've got an itch that I need to scratch ... been threatening to build one for 22 years now ...Guess it's timeYes - ebony and ivory - hand carved - LOCKED away for the next 30 years - inherited from my grandfather and stored at my dad's house - away from my chess playing kids. I think he got it during WW2 in Pakistan - the pieces are super intricate and quite big - king is about 100mm tall - actually quite difficult to play with they are so big, although the board is a standard sized board. Also have a few wooden travel box sets I bought in India 0 about 150 x 75 x 40 when closed - but the pieces are not wooden - think they are some sort of metal.

DJR Posted September 20, 2016 Share Anyone with a handmade chess set? I've got an itch that I need to scratch ... been threatening to build one for 22 years now ...Guess it's timeI made one from African Rosewood and Wild Olive, I think about 20 years ago. Turned it on a small metal lathe to the "classical" shape. The difference between the black and white pieces became less obvious over the years as the Olive darkened. I'll take pictures when I get home tonight. Edited September 20, 2016 by DJR Pants Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Boy Posted September 20, 2016 Share I've Googled and Pinterested so many chess sets I'm seeing things ... lol.

kosmonooit Posted September 20, 2016 Share Nice! speakers always sound better if there is a nice bit of finished timber visible Talking of speakers, I want to build a big bass bin for a 18": driver, found a few options for designs but the designers generally specify fancy plywood: ie 13 laminate 18mm Birch Ply I have asked around a bit with the usual suspects and drawn blank vacant looks. One gets that shutter ply (which has its uses) and marine ply, generally thinner. Anyone have idea when I can get this?
