Magnetic Wall Chess, with custom board

Step 2Cutting the main board!

Cutting the main board!
Firstly, you need to print off some template goodness
Templates(all the pdfs you need are found in this directory!)

Picture 1- So, using your favorite program print off the four corners, so you get something like this

Pictures 2&3- Stick these corners together, and then spray mount them to the dense board (make sure you use a temporary adhesive.

Picture 4- I started by cutting along the long curved edges leaving the corners as shown

I then took off these corners leaving me with the board cut out as in picture 5!

Now is a good time to use the first board to draw around onto your second piece of the dense board.

Cut this second piece out the same as the first.

ps. as with all the cutting in this -ible many stroke with a sharp blade works best!
