Magnetic Wall Chess, with custom board

Step 6 Adding the Grid

Picture 1- Start off by printing the black and white grid (templates on link above)

An optional step here is to laminate each sheet - i recommend this, as it holds the magnets in better, and provides a better playing surface!

Picture 2- As with the template before stick these sections together using tape - i used scotch magic tape as it has a longer life.

Picture 3- Corners stuck together and excess trimmed off

Picture 4- Measure and mark the center on your dense magnet filled board, using a pin hold the top in place

At this point it is hard to line up the corners, i recommend shining a bright torch underneath allowing you to see the edge of the dense board. (this is how i mangaged it)

Picture 5- tape down one side of the sheet to hold it in place, then carefully lift up the other side and glue it down, un-tape the first side and glue down the second.

Picture 6- Turn the whole thing upside down, and cut off the extra around the edge!

That is the board pretty much complete.

Finishing touches may include adding felt on the underneath, or little feet.

Next we move onto the pieces!!
