    Default Looking for Chess pieces templates

    Hi all,
    Have started building a chess board and have been inspired to turn the pieces (trying).
    Am looking for some plans or designs.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Regards,
    Olas.

    Tried turning chess pieces just after I started learning turning! I got 11 pawns in oak with six "kinda" matching! Maybe I should have another go now. As Always I was just making up the designs myself.

    As an aside It would probably make a good "turnfest" project! With 50 blokes turning we should be able to get a set.

    hi Issatree
    have not checked out that book but will check it out.

    tea lady- that's the problem I think I might have. I have seen on another forum that a duplecator/template will help to get them all the same.
