White's pawns are in the wrong row.
What's up with that?

Beautiful and interesting. Some cool touches - they can be disassembled, the board held together by spokes and tension. The board edges are rims - how did you straighten the rims??
What spokes/guages, tension - Did use a tensiometer or just by pitch? (just kidding). Seriously- both visible board edges appear to have nipples-are the spokes threaded both ends? |

I said it last time you posted this (a few years back at least?), this is simply remarkable. Absolutely love it!!! A one-off build I assume? Campy should have made these.
Have you shared this with the mother ship? I bet they would love it …. Last edited by wgp; Yesterday at 07:30 AM. |

That is simply great!
I must echo WGP's comments: Campy missed an opportunity here--they should pay you for the idea and make it.
I must also say, the campy vs shimano is great, and wish that was pictured. I'm assuming it is far too labor intensive, but if you could do a simpler design as far as creating the pieces, you could probably sell quite a few. I don't even play, but my son does; and I'd get him one. I'd also have one on our coffee table, even though my wife would make me dust it! |

Chess
thank you for Compliments
I got the rims from Velocity, they sold me the extruded rims before they machine rounded them. Yes i brazed spokes together so both ends are threaded. The pawns are in wrong row just for one of the pics. I have shared this with Campagnolo just over this weekend, will see if they might reply. I can only make 5 sets like this with the parts i have, A second set that is nearly done. thanks all for looking Gary |

That is so cool, that's one of the coolest works of art I have ever seen!
For your next one, use Campy for the White side, and Shimano for the black side! LOL!!! Last edited by froze; Yesterday at 08:14 PM. |
