Full brass side of my chess set. This side went much faster than the aluminum side mostly due to the fact that I knew what the heck I was doing this time. Total time including both sides is now up to 600 hours.

This chess set(including the aluminum side)is the best set of chess pieces I've seen made out of metal.

Well even though I used 20 Gauge wire for both the brass and the aluminum sets, the brass wire I found out was actually 0.02mm thicker than the aluminum. With the pieces being as rigid as they are, even that extremely small difference in wire thickness made a big difference in how every piece had to be constructed.

Yes I had started one a while back in chainmail but just making a large sheet was to boring to keep my attention. Heh rather ironic I thought after having the patience to make 16 pawns. But since then I decided to not just make a board but a chess table with an inlayed stone board. I would be working on it right now but I don't have the access to a wood shop till September. I should have the table done by the end of December, along with the two chairs that will go with it. And with any luck I'll also have one of my sculptures finished who will be sitting in one of the chairs playing chess.
