I just got the book Making Wooden Chess Sets by Jim Kape and I have a question on cutting the piece's that I unsure of and I want to make sure I get it right before I get started and mess things up. It has to do with the base of the piece (please see photo) I'm not sure how to cut the or even if I need to cut the left hand (left hand as your looking at the photo). I know there are some of you that have make chess piece's from this book so I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this. I looked over the book but I can see anything that will help me. I've done compounf cuts before but I'm drawing a big blank. Thank in advance for the help.
Once I get the basic cutting down I'll have another question on Cutting the Knight. I really hoping I can make these chess piece's. I dont play my self but my Grandson Scott what to learn and my older brothers son is a big chess player. Oh one more question on stock have anyone used 1 1/2" square turning stock to make the pieces?
