I made a custom chess board using pine bearers - offcuts etc .
All the cuts / mitres had to be clean & accurate , to allow for a clean finish.
I used a quality spray gloss varnish to complete the project which complimented the cedar stain & pine finish.
i love that all of the commentary has an exclamation point after it, very enthusiastic
Thank you so much ! I'm glad you liked it , hey please check out my latest video , ( whiskey gift box ) .
That has got to be the best chess board build ever! Talk about just keeping it simple but maintaining that elegant look at the same time. Great job thanks for sharing
WoW !! thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 ....Tom you've made my day ! "Cheers"
I agree with Tom, nice job! Going to make one per your build. 👍
I still come back once in a while and watch this video. Did you make it on the fly or go by plans?@wallytrinc9885
@@tompresley639 hi Tom , No Plans ! once I made my mind up with the square sizes , & glued them on a backing board, I then added a fancy frame , then added drawers (2),,, winging it as I went along,,,, sorry for the late reply mate ...
That's pretty much how I do my wood working projects...lol@@wallytrinc9885
This is a beautifully designed and crafted piece. I just watched a similar project from a regular far eastern woodworking site poster, and though their ideas and designs are excellent, there is no comparison in the finished project.They don't finish any of their projects, and all the joints and nail holes are clearly visible, whereas yours are not, producing a far more asthetically pleasing and professional result. The contrasting splines and corner drawer supports are a wonderful extra touch, as are the way you've matched the grains on the squares. You also use far better quality wood, and I'd rather pay that bit extra than look at one of their projects and be continually disappointed with the 2nd rate finish. EXCELLENT!
Cheers ! Ray , thanks for the in depth analogy, you certainly do have a great eye for detail ( grains on the squares)..... would you believe most of the wood (pine) was waste offcuts , to be thrown in the wood bin !!
The thing that got me into woodworking was my desire to build a chess board, and I started off with the same exact tools. So many content creators act like (or outright say) you can't possibly make anything decent without the best tools/materials. You had a goal, set out to do it and worked with what you had and you made a piece that easily rivals others made with far more expensive tools/materials. I respect the fact that you didn't let your tools or available materials limit your imagination. A true craftsman. Seriously, great job, it's a piece that will surely be appreciated for generations :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a ( heartfelt ) comment , I appreciate it ! ... yess a completed project with simple hand tools is so rewarding to make , regards Wally
Very nice. I don't play chess, but the construction of the box and drawers has given me some inspiration.
Thanks , We both have something in common , I don't play either !!! I made it as a special gift to a family friend , " Cheers "
Lovely looking checkers board & drawer , I am very impressed with your skills 🔨🪚🛠
Dude, fantastic job. Exceptionally clean work. Very impressive.
Thanks so much, really glad you liked it 🙏
I’ve watched many chess board builds over the years and only now came across yours. Easily the best. And the main reason, aside from your craftsmanship? The quality of the product from construction pine! Just about every woodworking magazine, youtube video, tv show, etc. pushes the narrative that we must use expensive or exotic hardwoods. Nonsense! You could teach them all a valuable lesson. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you ,,,, I really appreciate your feedback . I'm gonna screenshot your comment and frame it !!!!!
Looks great! Was awesome watching the process
Thanks very much for your kind words , I'm glad you enjoyed watching , cheers !
Beautiful, elegant and functional. Congratulations!
Thank you so much 🙏
Wonderful work congratulations, I have already made several boards using sheets of wood and I learned in practice that it becomes more interesting when we place the wood veins in the same position, that is, all 64 squares vertically, on your board you have the white ones vertically and the dark ones horizontally. A big hug from Brazil.
Thank you ...... you are the first person to notice & comment about how I staggered the squares hehehe ..... what wood do you use (soft pine). or ( hardwoods) ???? ,,,,, Obrigado - tenha um bom dia ...
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much 🙏
Beautiful result, a job to be proud of.
Thanks ,,, and thanks for recognising my end result 🙏 . Cheers !
Great job, You're very creative and hard working it's beautiful design. Thanks for showing your skills.
Thanks Walter . Making my projects is the easy part , filming /editing to create good content takes a lot more effort , I appreciate your kind words.
I'm speechless. Amazing work, really. One of the best ones I've ever seen on youtube or personally.
Thank you so much ! Positive feedback like yours inspires me 🙏
Amazing board, you make it look so simple. Those splines are a cracking idea, I'd never have thought of that. Just subscribed.
Thanks Juan , Yeah the splines also give the corners added strength , thanks for subscribing , much appreciated 🙏
Very Beautiful! Good Job!
Thank you kindly Sir 🙏
Beautifully done, my friend!!

Amazing looking chess board, and who doesnt love a slow mo or 2
gotta luv the slow mo .
Thank you for not having some obnoxious music playing in the background. I don't think it's needed with this type of video. I love the sound of your tools much better. Sometimes, I have to mute the sound with some videos. The music they play is so distracting n puts me off. Love the end result. It's lovely. 👍👍
Thanks Cathy ,,,,, I try to keep my videos as raw as possible ,,, there are moments though , when my young children are screaming in the background & I need to mute some scenes hahaha
@@wallytrinc9885 lol.
Nice idea!
Beautiful ! Next incorporate timers :)
Looks awesome mate
Thanks mate ! much appreciated 🙏
Have a nice day. This is very inspiring video you shared. You're very creative and hard working it's beautiful design and useful. Keep going waiting for your more video's. Keep safe always. See you around. Stay in touch. God bless.
Thank you for your kind words , I appreciate it very much.
Very nice,Its a shame you didn't show all sizes of the cuts required.
So Beautiful !!!
Thank you🙏
Waly Trim thank you amazing quality chess board.
Thank you , I'm glad you like it .
Это восторг я в восхищении. Браво Мастер
Спасибо, это был интересный проект.
Sending back support my friend...nice demo again
thank you Idol. 🙏
That's beautiful
Thank you so much 🙏 .
Excellent, well done 👏. I'm making this for myself. I'm currently working on one now for my grandbaby. Not nearly as elegant as this one. I'll make this one for her later. 😊
Good on you Frank ! I hope this video inspires you to make an awesome chess board , let me know how you go...''cheers ''
Excelente trabajo. Me ha gustado mucho. Te felicito 👏👏🙂
Muchas gracias amigo, me alegro que hayas disfrutado mi video.
اقل ما يقال عنك هو أنك فنان مبدع .... واصل ابداعك
شكرا جزيلا لك، تقديري واحترامي لك
Love from India ❤too good sir amazing skills 😍 very attractive design
Thank you 🙏 , I appreciate your kind words.
I can see, You do not play chess. That is undoubtedly the gift.
excelente trabajo.... muy bonito tablero de ajedrez
Muchas gracias, aprecio tus lindas palabras, gracias por mirar.
Excelente tablero
I watched a bunch of chess board builds before this one but this one is far superior to all the others. You build this beautiful board with tools that just about everyone has, no thousand of dollars worth of jointers, planers, drum sanders super expensive table saw and CNC machines. You make me feel like I could make a decent board like yours. Just subscribed and am going to watch more of your videos. 👍
Thanks Champion ! , I am truly humbled with your comment ! . I'm the guy who's used basic hand tools all my life , there's a certain skill & great satisfaction completing a project ( hand made)..... I must confess though , that since this build ( chess board) I have purchased both a thicknesser & table saw ...( financed...).... but I can't see myself buying an expensive CNC machine hehehe... thanks for subscribing ''Champion'' I really appreciate it , enjoy watching more of my videos. '' Cheers '' 👍
@@wallytrinc9885 those purchases are perfectly understandable, they'll only add to the projects that you can build.
Really nice!!!
Thanks Bill , much appreciated .
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones 👌
Muchas gracias .....gracias por ver mi video 🙏
Great work brother, I like it a lot. The only thing missing is a carrying case, but still the best Chess board I'd love to own.
Thank you Mr Ehab , I'm glad you like it 🙏
Fantastic 😊
Thank you so much 🙏
Very very nice and cute😊👍
Beautiful 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you 🙏
Très beau design. Projet réalisé avec des outils simples et des matériaux simples, pourtant le résultat est là, c'est magnifique. Good job. Merci.
merci, j'apprécie vos retours, c'est vrai j'aime utiliser des outils manuels basiques, cela me procure une grande satisfaction de créer un projet à la main
Une seule chose maintenant : E2/E4
Excelente!!
parabens Estou aprendendo a fazer com vc.obrigado
Muito Obrigado 🙏
Esta muy bien hecho y muy bonito de mirar. Ahora mismo estoy haciendo mi segundo tablero de ajedrez. El primero hace años que lo hice con sus piezas, pero ahora se me hace más difícil porque ya tengo 86 años y no veo muy bien. De todos modos espero terminarlo en un par de meses pero a veces me entra la duda y no se si lo lograre. Gracias por tu excelente tutorial. Saludos de artesano a artesano.
Gracias amable Señor , es un caballero increíble , que Dios le da la gracia y la fuerza para terminar su tablero de ajedrez , es una inspiración para la generación mas joven de hoy 🙏
espetacular, trabalho muito bonito e bem feito, e adorei a camisa com as cores do Brazil.
Muito obrigado, você é muito gentil, sim a camisa é muito confortável, obrigado por assistir meu vídeo
Looks nice. i would have put leags on it it looks so good 👍
Thanks Casey , I may make a chess board table at some stage .
wow that was great, got any building plans
Thanks , glad you liked it , unfotunately I don't (plans)....all my projects "builds" are sketched on paper , & I progress as I go along .
thxs for sharing
Sehr schöne Arbeit!!!👍👍👍
what a beauty 😍
Thanks so much , it was a fun project !!!!
Looks amazing! My only nitpick is one of preference- I'd prefer a less tall / lower elevation board and hidden drawers. But if someone gifted me this, I'd be over the moon. Excellent work.
Thanks very much ... you highlighted some interesting points ! I respect that.... cheers .
Very Nice 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much. 🙏

Дуже гарно !!!
Just recently came across your video and really liked it. I am planing on building a couple chess boards for two of my grandsons and would like to know if you have any plans available for your chess board design.
G'day Mr Lewis , unfortunately I don't have (plans) ...I'm very hands on with my projects & tend to wing it as I go along....I get asked this (plans) quite a bit , so maybe I need to start doing so . Regards Wally
Great chess board but in the final shots the pieces are placed incorrectly.
Шикарная работа 👍👍❗️❗️🔥🔥🔥
большое спасибо
I have a question about the finish - a layer of varnish makes the wood shiny, but also plasticy. It's exactly what I don't like. I like the feel and smell of the smooth, dusty wood after a sanding. If you leave it that way indoors for many years, does the environment do a number on it or will it stay nice and wood coloured?
Thanks. ...the only materials I had at the time were pine offcuts a aerosol can of varnish & a small tin of cedar stain . The chess board is always indoors at room temperature & not quite 2 years old . The varnish has given the board a slight tinge of yellow ''that's expected with pine '' . I didn't have the luxury of using a material such as Oak, Maple or a Walnut , if so then yes , I would have invested in a quality low sheen oil with rag . In regards to the shiny/plasticy feel , that's a matter of personal preference I guess. In finishing can I say...I always use a 100% natural food safe oil, where food storage items are involved as in my last 2 projects. I value your opinion & question(s) that is why I've tried to give you an honest in depth answer...cheers my friend .
Wally, echt Top.👍👍👍
Bedankt. 🙏
Looks amazing! Is there any way that I could get some plans from your build for my woodshop class?
I don't have plans for this project , other than to say , it's 20.8 " square , 5.1" high ,
@@wallytrinc9885 No worries, thank you for sharing this amazing board! looks amazing!

Thank you🙏
Amazing work! Do you sell such items?
Thanks .... it's never crossed my mind (selling) , woodworking on a KZhead forum is something I do on weekends ''time permitting''...... any idea what a piece like this would sell ?
I am from Russia, it is very good!!!
Thank you so much 🙏спасибо, пожалуйста, посмотрите мои новые видео
Gut....
Hi Wally, I'm using this video as a guide for my year 12 woodworking project. Is there any chance you know how much wood you need to make this board, or do you have any dimensions for the pieces you cut for the board?
Hi , I apologise for my late reply 🙏 .... ok firstly after cutting 64 small squares @ 56mm X 56mm I sat (glued) them on a base ''plyboard'' ...I then added a 1inch frame on the outside ply/small squares ..... the basic dimensions are the the start 0:05 .....I don't have specific plans/dimensions , again I wing/improvise as I go along with most of my projects ,,,, again sorry for my late reply my friend 🙏
@@wallytrinc9885 Thanks wally, thats really useful, you are an absolute legend!
Well, that's the Lizards gizzards!
Com certeza, um dos melhores vídeos do KZhead! Parabéns, Wally! Grande trabalho, com muito esmero!

Great work. Can you please tell me the width and thickness of the board frame. Many thanks. Martin in France.
Hello Martin , 530mm (20.8'') Square . 130mm (5.1'') Height . The actual top board & base both = 28mm (1.1'') thick . Merci Beaucoup 🙏
Thanks for that Wally. Sorry to be a pest but how wide is the frame around the squares? Martin
@@rosieprospect no problems Martin , the frame surrounding the chequered squares is 40mm (1.57'') X 28mm(1.1'') & 530mm X 530mm, Wally
Je vous remerci as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer I’ll be over in the workshop and make a start. Martin

Wally Trinc. I was hoping to see you make the chess pieces as well, but you didn't!
Sorry to disappoint !
@@wallytrinc9885 Are you able to make the chess pieces?
which wood was used to make the chessboard
Hi , mostly pine , with a plyboard top , thanks
You are great artist at wood
Thank you so much 🙏@@nipunsarker-bx1jm
To complete the work, you still need to make alphabetic and numerical designations
Thanks for watching .
i like chess chess are good even if i keep losing
Me too ,,, I need to practice /play more hehehe !

it's a Japanese Pull saw ,,,,less effort to remove material ,,, more accurate than a western style Pull saw ,,,
