How to design and make a wood carving knife. Interlocking Chess/Checker Board Puzzle. For this project, you will need: Wood* - 16' of 1.5"x3/4" strips 6' of 2.5x3/4" strips Tools - Miter saw (optional) Table saw (mandatory) 1/8" kerf table saw blade with lots of teeth (better for making lots of fine cuts) 3/4" dado blade for table saw (optional, but definitely recommended!) T-square or some type of ruler (digital calipers are nice to have, but optional) Power Drill/screwdriver Other Materials: (2) Hinges (2) Latches (8) 2" screws Dark stain (I like MinWax's Gunstock, but it's up to you!)
Varnish (I wouldn't recommend varnish, but it does make things shiny....) Chess pieces! *Note: Be careful about selecting wood that is straight. Illusionist Heart Locket. Wooden Centrifugal Puzzle. Build Galileo's Bicycle.
