Howdy Shawn,
The only Electrical Woodworking Tools here is a Jigsaw and Hand Drill that I
can attach to a Stand Craftsman made if I wanted to use it as a Drillstand.

Got a Handsaw too.
Actually .My Wife can saw a straighter line than I can, but She can't measure
worth a hoot.
The largest project we made is a Doghouse out of 3/4" plywood.
Oh, I forgot, the Wife can hammer a nail without bending it.
The Top of the Doghouse I measured a 6 inch overhang for it.
When we put it on top of the frame I measured where to drive the nails so they
would go in (about) the center of the frame (using a Square Ruler) and we got
the job done.

You are hand carving Chess pieces , that sounds like much more than I would try
doing. Good Luck!

In the Navy another guy and I were assigned to the Compartment Cleaning Detail
for a month and He showed the basic Chess moves to me.
That was years ago and my Chess skill is still at the basic level.

Good luck learning Chess.

As a kid when I played Checkers with my brother we would get Colored and White
Buttons out of the Button Box for our Checker Pieces.
