this is incredible!... watched all 7 parts. learned SO MUCH. just want to thank you for making such great videos. i would love to see the process of the chess pieces being done if you get around to that

I watched all 7 parts. I can't believe how beautiful the board is. I'm amazed. You should start selling them.

Hey there,

Really an amazing job you've done there! It looks great and must have been so much fun to do! I thought about going to bed early this evening but I just had to watch the full 7 series!

Again, great job and good luck with the pieces ;)

Cheers,
Christian

Steve, you made my Sat morning. I watched all 7 vids. I'm working on a chess board with my son right now. It's just going to be a 1/4" piece of masonite. He's 8 and this proj is all about the layout of the squares, masking tape, razor cuts and layers of paint to get squares then poly and sand the top.
I also had a grandpa that had a wood shop. He made furniture and picture frames.
Thanks for making the vid. I do a lot of vids and I know how much work it is.
Good luck in future projects.

I really enjoyed this!

You're a natural teacher.

more...more...and yes make the pieces, i hope your stuff will use in a world chess match.

yes I liked it dude

I've got my second wedding anaversery next April, me and the wife both love chess so I would love to make her a chess board. Watching your videos has been insperational. I loved you from the start when you said you didn't have a propper work shop. I'll post some pic, tahnks, DAZ!!!

I worked on it over the course of about five weekends, whenever I had time. The finishing process definitely takes the most time.

how long did the whole 7 steps take u??? a couple hours or a couple days???

Beautiful work!

I'm looking forward to seeing you make the pieces.

Got though them all, great stuff.
I'd like to do it but have no machinery, so i'm going to try and do it (or something similar) by hand.

Given me a great start though
Cheers

Mike
