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.

  

More to Come

The above items do not tell nearly the whole story.  I'll continue to add posts about past, present, and future projects, and as I do there will be many more examples of all my different work.

My goal is to post once every week or so, so keep that in mind as you decide how often you come back to look for updates.  (Or just subscribe to the RSS feed for my site - some browsers can do this automatically, if you don't already use another service.)
