Hi,
Very early beginnings but thought I’d share the photos as I go…
Just learned the basics on the wood lathe and metal lathe recently so thought I’d combine them and attempt to make a chess set of mixed metal and wood pieces…
First prototype pawn done! Lots of improvements to be made in terms of shaping, fit, complexity, accuracy, etc but it’s a start. Just aluminium and a bit of very hard off-cut oak so far but once I get the hang of it I can progress on to some posher materials 
1 down (almost), only 31 to go and probably the same in ‘prototype’ experimental rejects…
