So I finally wrapped on a fairly lengthy project.

300+ hours in to this project includes

3d printed chess pieces on my muve3d.net 3d printer
3d printed Mostly Printed CNC (MPCNC vicious1.com) machine for routering the grooves and cutting the wood from a solid 34mm piece of oak.
and of course a lot of time staining, editing videos etc.

I think it came together rather well.
see for yourself
