Build a chessboard so fine, it’s fit for a king or a queen!

The uniquely designed chessboard top works with natural wood movement to keep the top stable. Two built-in drawers are perfect for hiding away your chess pieces. Plan is a reprint from issue 48 of Today’s Woodworker magazine.

The plans I received are full color and high quality. The detail views and plan drawings are excellent, clear, and easy to understand. Though I used my own chessboard grid idea, the project turned out great.

I built this board from the magazine plans in high school shop class. I was glad that I could find the plans as I want to build another one(8 years later). Everybody that sees it loves it! It's fun to build and the drawers for the pieces make it fancy...I made the dark squares out of wenge and the rest of the box out of walnut. You won't be disappointed if you build this!!!

I purchased the chess set plans along with chess men and lumber kit. I thought the chess men were of poor quality and nearly sent them back but decided to keep them. The plans were fairly good in describing how to make the parts.

I ordered the chess board plans and the chessboard lumber kit. This review is for the chessboard lumber kit. I thought the kit would have included all the lumber needed as shown in the plan, however the kit included only boards for the squares of the chess board. I was disappointed to say the least.

I recently carved an intricate chess set and board, but I was intrigued by these plans.
It may take a while, but it looks perfect to go with this carved, not turned, chess set and I am looking forward to completing it.

I bought it all for this kit! The plans were colorful, but incomplete and poor. I had problems with the fact that the kit included only wood sent for the chess top. The instructions could at least indicate the type of wood used for the sides and drawers in the author's set. The chess pieces were cheap. I returned everything.
