Ah the procrastination of thought. Just a little spin on words.
We all do that at one time or another. From what you have accomplished so far really has been amazing as this is not a small task to make all those pieces and with added doubles to get them looking similar to each other. It would be interested to know how many extra pieces you have made just to get a full chess on the board.

Steve
Love your progress on this set and fully understand the apprehension with the knights.
With the lead ballast, had you considered filling the hole with melted lead? If the hole is belled out it would automatically stay put without glue and I think you would be able to actually get more lead in. Lead has a very low melting point so would not affect the finish on the pieces.
Probably a late suggestion now.

The melting of the lead did cross my mind, It would have been a great excuse to get a torch, but it was a step too far for this project. Perhaps the next one? OMG!
