That was absolutely freaking amazing! You have to be so proud of yourself to have completed that and on time! It looked phenomenal and I just am in awe of your talent! You are amazing! And what a way to wrap up this year's makers challenge! It was just an amazing week! So many talented creators! Thank you Theo for creating one of the most talked about weeks in lapidary and rockhounding!
Holy Soapstone King of Challenges, what an incredible chess set. This turned out so incredibly well and definitely was worth the insane hours that you put into it. Thanks for organizing the Maker's Challenge and raising the bar ever higher for challenges to come. Rock on and get some rest before you start next year's challenge! Cheers!
You are The King of Lapidary. Absolutely stunning project. The materials you used are gorgeous. You skills are out of this world freakin fantastic!!! This will be an heirloom for generations. Be proud Theo. So amazing.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I'm amazed. I'm so proud of you! Beautiful use of that deep jewel toned jasper. Smart idea to do stone vs. Wood . You truly have an artist's eye for balance, structure, and texture. I'm having a super weekend watching Maker's Challenge videos. Theo, you really have honored all us lapidary enthusiasts by starting the Maker's Challenge. Each year it's bigger and better. It's like the super bowl for us rock geeks! Can't wait till next year's MC. Geeze I'm stoked! Team Kellison...y'all 🪨 ROCK!!!
I think this year's Maker's Challenge was an amazing success!!! All the projects turned out AMAZING!! Well done all!! 😍😍
Gives a new appreciation for those cats who thought it would be a goid idea to build the pyramids.
You've blown my socks off once again! That...was...EPIC!!! What a masterpiece. That jasper was something else. Hail to the master of sticks and stones! The amount of time you put into this...wow. I feel like such a little sheep with my little light haha! I need to start a lot sooner next time. I actually have mine planned for next year already! Thanks again for having me be part of this annual awesomeness of the makers challenge. Can't wait for next year! Cheers for years!!
OMG Theo, you are truly a master of your craft! Absolutely beautiful!💜💜
Dude you are so talented Theo! This is a masterpiece
That was really refreshing to watch. You made something that can be handed down as an heirloom and tell the story of how you made this event that many talented and creative folks participated in called the "Makers Challenge" . Well Done!
That is one of of the best projects yet love the jasper you chose , great job as always , love your channel
You can be very proud of yourself Theo! There are no superlatives to do it justice. You are truly a master artist! Everyone did such a wonder-full job this year, so kudos to all who participated!
WOW, this turned out incredible! I've never seen anyone make a chess set before, thanks for taking us along! 🙂
Theo, that is amazing!! You do know you’ve just created a family heirloom,right? I loved watching the pieces take shape!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍Fantastic!!
Congratulations Theo, the chess set is fantastic! This has been an awesome Makers challenge!
I was hoping you would be using your lathe. Amazing job as always Theo! Got some ideas for your future challenges. Appreciate all you do and hope you keep moving forward. Makers challenges are my favorite.
I'm speechless. Fortunately, I'm typing, not actually speaking. That's an incredible project. I'm patient, but not _that_ patient. I think I'll stick to butterflies.
Nancy and I play backgammon almost every day. I've been thinking about making checkers for our game. I have not considered making the board. Now I feel like a real slacker that I haven't done this yet. You've inspired me to get going on that. Maybe I'll be done by next year's Makers Challenge!
Theo wins Maker's Challenge. I don't even have to watch anyone else's videos.
Wow Wow Wow!
I'm so proud of you! What dedication and persistance!
I was given a soap stone chess set when I was a kid. All the pieces and the board are made out of stone. Awesome project. Well done.
Great job Theo that’s gorgeous. However, I cant see you sitting still long enough to play a game of chess!😂
SUPERB!BRAVO!AWESOMENESS?
that was one heck of a project to try and pull off and you did it ! massive undertaking ! bet the feel of the pieces is real nice in the hand . thank you for another awesome maker's challenge !
OMG, Theo! Did you go to college to learn all this, like carving, and fauceting gems, etc? Or are you just that gifted? Absolutely breath taking work! So AWESOME!!! 😊
Until 17 minutes i was like "why isn't he polishing the jasper? Oh ok fine I guess he is just gonna leave us with unpolished amazing jasper, guess its fine he doesn't love us enough to polish it. 😢" Then 17 min marker came and I was like "Oh, so im just a big jerk dummy.... my bad" lololol
Theo, I know, you know how great your talent is. So young. So much more to come. What kind of future awaits you? Who knows. Amazing!
That turned out so spectacular. You are such a talented young man. You never cease to amaze me.
Wow, Theo, you knocked it out of the park on this one. That is absolutely gorgeous! The amount of work you put into that project was phenomenal.
DUUUUDE! I can’t wait to see this. This is going to be Epic.
True craftsmanship
Absolutely stunning chess set!!! Great job!!!
Every single project was wonderful! I enjoyed watching each video. Seeing everyone's process and finished creations sparks my creativity!
Thank you Theo for hosting the Makers Challenge once again.
Thank you to all who participated!
Already looking forward to next year's Challenge!
I like the flaws....shows it's a one-of-a-kind handmade original
Makers Challenge 2023.......CHECK MATE!!!!!!! 🤪😜🤪😜 Awesome project and another rad year of entries!!! Thanks for making this happen Theo🙏🙏🙏
Oh Wow, Dude! I'll edit this later but, Seriously WHOAH!
Can't wait 😊 Don't play chess but you should find a place to display and use this set.
Oh my..that is so nice!
Theo, you are the master carver! Wow the chess set turned out Beautiful! Looks amazing with the half wood half rock, really cool! And you are so patient😅Thank you for sharing your talent and the makers challenge, so fun, inspiring and interesting to see what everyone does and their process. Really love it, thank you and Alexis and all the makers for sharing their time and talent😊🤩❤️❤️
You have absolutely outdone yourself with this one. Absolutely incredible !
Woo hoo, yippee, hot dog, dang you finished! I like the juxtaposition of the wood against the stone better than your original idea of all stone. Well done to you and Alexis for a job well done. Keep the magic coming. Be safe, happy and safe healthy. 😷⚒
BRAVO! That was excellent to watch. Amazing job Theo, thanks for bringing us along for the journey.
Theo that is absolutely astounding! Fabulous!
Bravo Theo!! The chess set is stunning as were all the other projects this year. I really couldn't pick a winner if I had too. Thanks for doing this for us viewers every year!
* WOW ~ Your project was the most Ambitious of all..
Oh, your sweet talk with Alexis is nice.
Beautifully done, Theo!!! You did an outstanding job on this project!!! I love watching all the challenges!
Thank you ❤❤❤😊
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮wow can't wait to see it
You should use this as your thumb
nail for your other channel!!
Awsome build!!!!!!
The chess set came out looking so good!
Thank you for putting this together and I'm really looking forward to next years Makers Challenge #5
Stone vs wood
Brillant ❤
That's an amazing project, Theo! You should be proud!😊👍👍
Looks absolutely fantastic. Well done. I've loved the whole makers challenge. Thank you.
Wow!!!
Beautiful work my friend 🍻
Even if it takes a long time it is okay. The more time you take the more beautiful it turns out. Thank you for making such a beautiful chess set!
That was a lot of work Theo! But it is so amazingly beautiful!!! Must have taken mucho patience! Bravo👏😊💜✌
Came out amazing. That’s a ton of work but will last a lifetime
Congratulations, that took some willpower and stamina!
Most impressive Theo 👀👍🏻
You should be extremely proud of the chess set and you amazing skill, the project was AWESOME !!!!!!!!!
I don't know which witch side. I like the best the soap stone or the wood they're both remarkable
Everybody did a wonderful job ❤❤❤❤🇱🇨
Just incredible! Amazing work and amazing bar you just set for the other Makers for the next year’s Makers Challenge
VERY NICE job!!! That turned out AWESOME!!! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the jasper you chose for the board. It's an incredible project. I know the stone was a pain to work with, but it was worth it!
That turned out nice. Now you need to break it in.
Totally amazing! Really gorgeous chess set! What a huge accomplishment!
That was freaking amazing!! You are so going to win this challenge!
Did u choose an exotic wood for the wood pieces that’d be gorgeous
That was awesomely fantastic. The wait for this year's challenge was well worth it, as a one off chess game it should be patented as I bet it gets copied. To all the people who were in the challenge, all did a great job. The bar has risen how are you all going to proceed next year the mind boggles.
That was frickin awesome I think this is the best makers challenge you blew this out of the park
Absolutely amazing, Theo!
A very talented young man Theo.... 👌
Awesome job..
Great work brother.
That was impressive.
I’m sure you’re proud, and you should be.👍🏻
So impressive! So unique! Awesome Beautiful. Well done. Thanks.
an artist in action. really enjoying his work. 👍
EXCELLENT ❣️ Thx Theo for organizing Maker’s Challenge ❣️ Enjoyed the whole week and am Now subscribed to All the participants ❣️Keep on Rockin❣️
Way to organize the MAKERS CHALLANGE. Love your chess set. I am going to try and do the butterfly creation from Michigan Rocks. Loved his little butterfly collection.
Beautiful 😍. Rob Abram sent me!
That is awesome man! Turned out great! This is actually an idea I’ve had for a long time as well. I know it will take ages but what I want to do is make a Agate vs Jasper chess set. I have already hand-carved one pawn and it took ridiculously long haha. I used a diamond rotary bit like you did but now I need to figure out the most efficient way to polish it. Any ideas on how to get into the nook and crannies? That will probably be a big obstacle with the knight. I never expected to see someone else do this but it’s nice being able to learn from other’s tips and mistakes and stuff. I’ll probably need to get a lathe if I’m ever going to finish this project lol and even then it’s going to be a challenge.
Absolutely gorgeous. Well done.
Super impressed with the idea of using the lathe on the soap stone! Your work really paid off! Beautiful set!
That’s a beautiful set, and you two are so cute together.
No words
What a gorgeous chess set
The soapstone was brilliant
Good on you! Best yet
You are a brilliant artist!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!! 🙌👍
Theo, it is amazing!
Pure beauty , I’m speechless !
Wow wow wow I'm not often lost for words but man that's stunning 🎉
Amazing craftsmanship. What a bc piece to have in your collection. Thank you for always sharing and encouraging us all to think outside the rock
A+ for you. This is beautiful. You should be proud of yourself! TFS
Wow , amazing job, for me you are the winner
That is so Awesome, words do not do it justice. That is worth thousands of dollars!!
Very very nice Theo. I know that took some serious time to do. Great job.
AMAZINGD!!! Thanks for all your hard work and showing us your process. You are soooo creative.
I have no idea how to play chess, but holy moly, amazing work!!!
Wow, just WOW! Freaking awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
Omg I can't believe all the effort, patience, skills, determination, endurance and dedication it took for you to make this and finish it on time my goodness that was a marathon!!! Congratz and actually although the initial idea was two types of stone I am totally loving the contrast between the wood and the stone!!! My favourite of them all duh way to go you ROCK 🧡🧡🧡 Do you or Alexis play chess?🤔
That was most impressive!
Wow that's awesome, most beautiful chess set ever!
Impressive project! I like this challenge you put together, I look forward to it! Thanks.
