Members dkuehn Posted August 24, 2014 Members Report Posted August 24, 2014 I recently started working with leather as a hobby. I have made a couple of drink coasters out of tooling leather and decided to have a go at making a chess set. Here are some pictures of the result. I certainly learned a little while making this and hope to continue to improve my skills on future projects. Quote

Members Scorpion Wood Posted August 25, 2014 Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 Wow that is really superb. Did you have patterns for the pieces or did you come up with the design? Quote
Members dkuehn Posted August 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 Wow that is really superb. Did you have patterns for the pieces or did you come up with the design? I made them up as I was going. I looked at some of the links at the bottom of this page. Man, there is some beautiful work being done on chess sets. I'd love to get even half the skills some of you folks have. There is some amazing talent here. Quote
Members dkuehn Posted August 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 It also has an inside section to hold the chess pieces. There is a dowel under the table to push up on to lift the chess board out. Quote
