New project time.

I have a stack of high school kids coming in for an "industry visit" next week and I thought I really should prepare something for it.

I have been wanting to make a billet chess set for a couple of years now so I scrounged up some scabby aluminium and started drawing up the pieces.

I have to order some decent material tomorrow and I should have the rest drawn and programmed by the time my material arrives.

These are 2 sample pawns I turned up today. They look a bit shitty as I was playing around with speeds and feeds and had to polish some machine marks out.

Yeah, really shit, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I wish I had a metal lathe, and the skills to use it. :oops:

Can't wait to see the other pieces done! :helloo:

They would rather watch you blow some shit up than check out your pawn collection.

One side will be anodised.

Just have to find a decent power supply to set it up
