    Chess Set

    I got the drawings and code from a gentleman who teaches at a college in Kansas. The drawings are in Metric and say "Peter Smid CNC Programming" in one corner. I have lost his name & E-Mail address so I can't give him proper credit. But Sir, if you read this "Thank You Very Much!!"
    The pieces are turned from 1" dia brass and are up to 65MM ( 2.559" )tall. I converted the code to English and ran them on our Haas SL-30. I would share the code with his permission.

    Most likely from one of his books, and copyrighted info. I think it's in this one.

    Would the G-code programs written by someone else using Peter Smid's drawings be covered under Copy Right laws. Since I don't know the author of the G-code programs I will withdraw my offer to share the G-code.
    I'm making this chess set as a gift for my grandkids.
