Itself is referring to the pieces, but since pieces is plural, itself should be pluralized as well:
" ... most of the pieces that I make are unique in themselves."

- Good luck! Hope your digits are healing .. hrm, um, at least you're not a hand model! Yes, thats a positive way of looking at things ...
