Chess Set / Table

Remember this is 1969 decor at its best 😂...  I made this chess set in 1970... Over the years and a move to America; the set "got lost" ... with 4 grand-kids, time to make a new set.  I'll use Poplar and Walnut

Saturday Morning Cuppa.....

 

American Walnut and Poplar ... Nice contrast

Flipping the Cutting Board over made the transition painless ...now a fresh surface to work with. UPDATE: "Moved back to Imperial Scale ... I'm not a metric scale user!"

Placed the Box in the Deep section of the Clamp Parallels. This for the Long Side glue up... Worked GREAT.. Used longer Clamps; Irwin & Bessey.

NOTE: Place Clamp System to Top of Bench, easier to use Long Clamps. (see pics)
