Wooden Chess Sets You Can Make: 9 Complete Designs for the Scroll Saw
Wooden Chess Sets You Can Make by Diana Thompson, presents nine chess set designs that can be made on the scroll saw. It's an easy-to-follow guide for the young, beginning around the shop. The book is an introduction to compound sawing, which the author describes as a technique of making two cuts on one pattern to create a three-dimensional piece. The patterns are presented so they can be cut out and adhered directly to 1-1/2" stock. The chess set designs include a woodworker's set with the pieces resembling a saw, drill bit, hammer, pliers, screwdriver and screws. There's also instruction for making a chessboard. The 66-page softcover sells for $14.95.
