    If I played With those knights, I would resign immediately if my knight is taken.

      If you're careful, then there is no reason why you should lose any of your fingers. Only idiots like you would lose fingers on power tools.

    This is why I never even tried to make a chess set; anybody can make a pawn, etc. But the knight is something that simple copying from a template CAN NOT produce - it takes an artist! I salute the beauty of his work and I even admire the simple equipment he uses to produce these beautiful pieces!

    You are certainly a modern Michelangelo of the chess creation craft. The fact that each piece is created with human contact and not a CNC machine surely will resonate from the piece to your hand. However, I think my game will suffer as my main focus will be on the beauty of the pieces. While in Spain many years ago I bought a set (wooden, as they should be in my opinion) and thought it was nice - after watching your video I think that set might become firewood after I find and get one of yours! No, I’d better reconsider that firewood thing as I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable actually playing with your set, let alone allowing someone else to handle it.
    Absolutely fantastic work!!
