Very skilled man

I agree with others about the pins for alignment. That's fantastic! I've made a handful of chessboards using 8/4 stock because my chessboards have a non-flat surface (the idea is to more accurately represent a battlefield). The biggest problem I've had is corner alignment and have had to clamp one strip at a time to make sure everything lines up correctly without slipping. Recently, I came up with the idea of dry clamping it all together and then routing a couple grooves along the underside so I could slip in some steel bars for alignment, but this looks much cheaper, easier, and just as effective (if not more so). Thank you!
