    If I played With those knights, I would resign immediately if my knight is taken.

      If you're careful, then there is no reason why you should lose any of your fingers. Only idiots like you would lose fingers on power tools.

    This is why I never even tried to make a chess set; anybody can make a pawn, etc. But the knight is something that simple copying from a template CAN NOT produce - it takes an artist! I salute the beauty of his work and I even admire the simple equipment he uses to produce these beautiful pieces!

    Beautiful workmanship. Great to see someone else using calipers on a live piece to set the diameter. Exactly how I work with a lathe. Interested to know how you check the scraper profiles after sharpening. Does each sharpening produce a slight variation in sets I wonder so you make sure to sharpen only between sets?
