    Thank you for watching. I've had a number of people asking me for chess board plans. Unfortunately, I just made a simple sketch with basic dimensions before construction. Most was just improvised as I made it.

    Before making it, I did look up "official" chess boards and discovered that the squares are 1.5" and went from there.

    Since it's essentially just a box, you should be able to scale it to any size you wish. Also, check out Google SketchUp. It's a free 3D program I've been trying out.
