DESCRIPTION
This project started in 2018 when I designed and manufactured 10 copies of a 2D, laser cut, Glasgow-themed chess set, which I sold in Princes Square, Glasgow.
In 2021 my mate Michael and I then set out to try and design and manufacture a 3D version.
The product is a custom chess set, with pieces based on iconic landmarks around our hometown, Glasgow, from mostly around the Clydeside area.

“Got this for my son, no longer living in Scotland, something to keep and cherish as a memento of student days in Glasgow. I'm also proud to pass on such a beautifully designed and produced piece of Scottish work.”
