My friend is a machining technologies major up at school and has a custom chess set that he made in class. It is pretty sweet. The pieces are all cylindrical but stack on top of each other because one side has a recess that the bottom of another piece can fit into. They also have pictures machined into them on one side. He also machined the board with some interesting designs in each of the squares. To my knowledge he did it all by himself for a college machining class.
