Great looking chess board. I watched all seven parts and downloaded them for future viewing. I would be great if you brought out dimensioned plans for your board. Great work on the board and a terrific camera-man filming it.
Steve. I have an ivory chess set that I got when I was in Japan on leave during the VietNam war. I understand that you can't even get stuff made from ivory anymore so I wanted to put the set in a really nice case. Your plan fir the bill perfect. I also leanred a lot of things I didn't know. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I'll let you know how mine turns out. Thanks to youor son also. He's going to grow up to be a fine man.
