" Jimmy DiResta has made a name for himself crafting beautiful knives and axes and other unique items like this AK-47 guitar. His latest project has him busting out the lathe to shape some customized chess pieces out of brass.  Once the models of each piece are shaped and smoothed out, DiResta uses them to make molds that allow him to quickly pump out white and black pieces for play. The entire project takes a bit of time considering he has to repeat the process for each of the six different types of chess piece\u2014the knight requires some particularly impressive band saw work\u2014but here are some highlights for you to enjoy.
