Post pictures of your chess pieces/boards that you made yourself

The last photo of Fischer and Spassky is from the Piatigorsky tournament. As a coincidence yesterday, my grandson and I were playing through the moves of that very game. I have typed out several notable game of the chess masters and he and I play through the moves as a way to teach ourselves the game. It is indeed sad news to hear of the passing of the former World Champion, Boris Spassky.

Ohh looks like a Leningrad Schoolboy/Shkolnik set!

It should not be on this thread for self-made pieces. Yet, it was meant in memory of Spassky and the friendliness he brought to chess. It's a set beloved, I have posted it on pac-man chess tetris when I found it:

But now back to this thread and the wonderful arts & crafts from the posters themselves

Great thread spotted. Thank you all for contributing! Creating chess pieces by yourself is a great deal in itself, no matter the level of output.
