Chess Set Table
Nov 07, 2008
I built this Table, Chess Set and the Chess Board as a gift for my Dad on his 80th Birthday.The Table is Poplar-The finish is flat black enamel with Black Lacquer. The corner pediments are all brass-except the top sphere-which is a maple wood ball with Gold enamel and Clear Lacquer.
Although I am a “woodworker”, I have an interest in metalworking. This interest goes back to my college days when I turned several metal chess sets on a lathe. I was bitten by that bug recently and turned another set.
This set is turned from aluminum-the finish is enamel.The set needed a board so I made one and the board needed a table so I made a table. Sometimes things can get out of hand! :^)

The Chess pieces are all aluminum except the bases for the knights which are cold rolled steel. The finish on the chess pieces is sprayed enamel.
