Hi
A friend and I have just completed a giant chess set and intend to play our first game in a few days.
The board is 90 square metres or nearly 1000 square feet.
The chess pieces are made of solid oregon timber, hand turned on a wood lathe.
The heights range from 1 metre or 3 feet to 300mm or 1 foot.
The total project has taken nearly a year.
Are there any other home made giant chess sets out there?
