How did you cut out the chess pieces? What was the bit size?

Thanks for sharing! I modified your designs to make a larger set from cherry and purpleheart. Love it. If I were to do it again I think I would try etching the grid after cutting the profile. Also, I'd recommend to anyone making this to cut the profile with a 1/16" or larger bit, not a 1/32".

The links for the chess board do not work. Are they still in Easel?
