Chessboard Project 2010: Part 1

I am undertaking a large project in 2010 as already mentioned a few posts earlier. I am making a chessboard complete with two sets of chess pices. The pieces will be the popular Staunton style, and whilst I haven't decided opn whether to go for glittery, marbled colour or button inclusions yet, they will be all made from resin with felt bases. The board will be made up from 64 50mm squares of 3mm acrylic in black and opal and gelcoated onto a sheet of 2mm frosted acrylic.So far I have 10 squares cut, though the saw hasn't cut them perfectly straight. I'm hoping this can be fixed with a bit of gelcoat "grout" when put together, otherwise I will be on the grinder machine for some time!
