Aluminum Chess Set

I designed and built this set of minimalist-style chess pieces.  Materials and tools used were one-inch aluminum barstock, an Okuma CNC lathe with live tooling, and a wire EDM (to cut the groove representing the bishop’s mitre).  All pieces are anodized and have green felt bottoms.

Cut Spoon

Simply a stainless steel soup spoon with an arrow symbol cutout.  I designed the symbol, programmed the wire EDM machine, and did some minor finishing work.  The spoon was cut in 2002, but the graphics below were made in 2009 and 2010.
