Hardware chess set, number 2!

I made this chess set for my honey out of hardware!  I guess you could call it steampunk?

More dieselpunk than steampunk I would say but I love it either way. Good job!

Dieselpunk!  I don't think I've even heard that one before.  But I like it Thanks!

They're both from the same "root" - cyberpunk - but focus on different time periods/elements.

Dieselpunk is 1920s through the early 1950s.

But I really do like this set. I've been looking to create similar sets myself.

Very very cool. Are you going to make a board to go with them?

Very cool!

I have seen a set similar to this one before online. I know the guys that I seen went an extra step to age the nuts and bolts. Awesome. definitely need to make a board for it.

My little geeky son and hubby would love this. His little sister broke one chess set that was wooden then he got a GLASS one as a gift (it has a glass pane board Hello. Little kids??) This would be an awesome alternative.

I want to make a board, but I'm not sure I'll have time before his brithday.  I'm thinking of some flashing in a frame marked out with electrical tape.  Either that or tile something with 2" square tiles, but those add up pretty quickly.  I may have to wait for Christmas to add the board for the set

P.S.  This is the second one I've made.  Here's a link to the first, for my dad, a couple of years ago:
