Anybody got one? Do you use a picture and software or do you have a pattern or original to follow?
I'm still preparing my battle plan to make the chess pieces and the knights are a problem if you want to make them really nice looking horses. The rest of the pieces are simply turned on the lathe and I think pretty easy. I suppose you could embelish them with some carving too but that damned horse cannot be turned except for the base. i have been thinking dremel but the CNC carvers , especially the small enclosed ones that sometimes sell for $900 or so are tempting.
