Making your own chess set

I am setting out to make my own chess set. It is a themed set using miniatures from Citadel.

Has anyone here done something similar? I am looking to get some pedastals for the pieces to raise certain minor pieces up. Any suggestions on what to use?

Thanks!

I saw some plan in an old magazine when i was in grade 9 or so. I wanted to make them out of steel on a lathe but my brother said it would be to hard.

So I built a pool table instead. I made other stuff in high school on lathes though. Screw and nut, waterproof container, hammer, foundry stuff etc...

Go back in the threads. There was something on this a few months ago.
