Re: pic: Chess piece
That's really neat. It seems that all year, our advisor (Scott Ritchie) and a few of us on the team have been talking about how great it would be if we could custom create a whole chess set, board and all. Hopefully it's something we'll get around to starting this summer and finish before I graduate next year. I just want to get one game in...

I could see the pieces being made out of machined aluminum (Black would be anodized). Don't forget about making a storage unit or display table for it. You need drawers or a case for storing the pieces, to make it complete. A certain aerospace firm paid you-don't-wanna-know-how-much for its employees to create a chess set as a gift to one of their VP's. The chess pieces were tiny models of ultra-high tech aircraft with which the VP's division was involved. They were created by converting CAD drawings of the aircraft into chess-size CAD drawings. Next, the drawings were rendered into plastic chess pieces using rapid prototyping (stereo lithography). Then they were plated. The model shop made a beautiful wooden board with drawers to go with it. It was reported that the recipient was very pleased with his gift; for an aerospace person, it sure beat getting a gold watch! My point is, you will probably have to use less than cutting-edge technology to create your chess set, but you can use what you have, combined with your ideas, to make something that will cause people who don't have one to salivate. ![]() |

Re: pic: Chess piece
MyLittleMechman - it looks like you really need to graduate, without me to occupy you everyday, you sure got into trouble fast enough!
Great job with these. It would be interesting to see if a group of people each made a piece, and got together for a game at a competition in the future? Possibilities are endless. ![]() |
