He Crafts an Epoxy Resin Chess Set Revealing a Foolproof Method
Warning: Important Health and Safety Notice:
Resin is an industrial chemical and as such should always be treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken. Here is a video I have made on how I keep myself safe: • Stop Making Yourself I...
For gold, try coloring the resin red instead of yellow. You will get a deeper gold. When I paint, I paint red first before I add gold over it. Learned this when I was learning how to do medieval illuminations.
The chess board and pieces turn out brilliantly. Gave me come great ideas.
My husband was just talking about making chess sets. I've sent him the link to this video! Perfect timing! Big Squishy Hugs!
Hello Mr. Steve... I am a resin artist as well and I have a better idea for painting the black lining of the chess board. You could use a card to scrap the paint all at once into the lines. It works faster and is effective
Also a needle nosed tip bottle is amazing with nearly no clean up.
I would do it with a squeegee that has a hard side where you put like a very thick couple of lines of paint and then you take the hard side and run it down the paint and make sure you get all the paint through all the lines and all the paint that you don’t need you make sure you got the paint through the lines can go back into the paint bottle instead of wasting all that paint. And then take the squeegee part and use that to get the excess paint that’s left over and there you go and then anything that’s left can be washed off with the baby and there you go.
That looks amazing. Looks like a Gryffindor chest set. Great tips. Thank you for sharing ❤
Gorgeous set, Steve! Thank you! Love the 'X' tip for every other square. Your son is a lucky guy!
I am so glad I watched this first! Excited to start my own tomorrow!
Apparently commenting during the video hurts the creator. Waiting until the end to like and comment is how the algorithm counts engagement...
Love the look of that chess set!!! And that black detail pushes it over the top.
Great tips! Looks great 😊 . Hack from me, when you are going to use a mica powder, pop the powder into the mixing jug then spray some 99.9% alcohol onto it to dissolve the mica a bit and then stir, helps remove clumps and bubbles too
The best chess set I've seen done, well done Steve ❤
I made a set of Boards in the House colors of Hogwarts… I printed out the Logo for each house and place it in The center of each board… I sold them for $100 a piece at a craft sale 2 years ago… I got a several orders for them as well… they make great Christmas gifts too :)
Wow, great results. What a lovely gift for your Son. He should be proud to own that handmade with love from his father.
New subscriber as of now 👍
My son and my granddaughter play chess. I am going to study your tutorial and make this a Christmas gift for them! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful creation! Texas USA
Gorgeous! The black lines really make the red and gold pop. Thanks for the tip about using pigment and mice together for richer colors. 😊
This is absolutely stunning! Just a shame I haven’t got anyone who plays chess so I can make one😂 Keep doing what you’re doing Steve. You’re a star!
LOL! Your son keeps nicking so much of your stuff! Great videos! Loving them.
I have no idea about chess, but it looks rreeaallllyy nice 🎉
I make and sell a lot of these chess/checkers boards.The problem I had at first that the board itself would warp in the shop because they turned off the a/c at night. To solve that problem I purchase an unfinished frame at a local craft store, then place the board in the frame and pour epoxy over the board just enough to cover. Let it set for two days, add glitter or paint in coordinating colors, then finish pouring epoxy all over the frame and board. Not to brag, but it solved the warping problem. I love watching you, you have taught me so much and I,thank you.
That really turned out beautiful. Love it! Loved the colors ❤. Your son is going to love it too
I love how bright and glossy and perfect this is! Can't imagine why YT wants to make it hard for it's most prolific producers. Seems these big sites have to flex all the time.
That turned out so great! I love the gold and red combo!
OMG….that is absolutely gorgeous! 🥰💕
That turned out PERFECTLY GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow that turned out so beautiful. I love the colors.
Perfect Timing! I just bought this mold and was contemplating how to use it. Thank you Steve.
Wow, Steve! Great job and wonderful tutorial. Blessings you for all you do. ❤❤❤
Nail art tape makes good lines on a chessboard.
Firey looking awesome set! Love the squidgey/widgey always makes me smile!
WOW your gold looks amazing! I never seen such a shinny gold in resin projects. Starting my chess board today I decided to jump on the computer and look up others mistakes hoping I learn to not make the same. SO thanks for this video,
Thanks for showing this! I've been struggling with the board so it helps to see this!!
Wow Steve! It turned out gorgeous! I do have this mold and I have been very intimidated by it. Once again you gave me the push I needed to have a play with it. Thank you so much for this and thank you as well to the member who asked about it 🤗 ❤
The very first board I made, I did the exact same thing… not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!!! So, nope… you are not alone in filling the next square with the same color! lol
Like the idea of the x mark
Luv the black outline with the white border ❤
I do have this mold and it's so intimidating that I haven't done it yet. I think I may be able to give a shot now 😊. Thanks for the tips.
✌️❤️🤣 peace, love and happiness
Those colours remind me of Griffindor from Harry Potter. A chess board was the first large thing I made with resin, and there were 23 pieces that were defects!!😂 until I perfected them. Loved the information. Thanks, steve. Lv from Cumbria ❤
Thank you so very much for the great video. I learn so much from you.
Oh thank you! I'll definitely try these as soon as I'm able!!
That's just not what I expected and explains some of my mistakes! Love learning from you.
Gorgeous
This turned out great!!!! The mica powder was perfect. And I'm fessing up - I have put the wrong color into an unintended space several times 😂. Good thing I love abstract looks 😉
Thank you for the many tips and tricks. I've been wanting to make one.
Best one I’ve seen made! Well done Steve xxxx
That came out amazing ❤love the colors
Really great work Steve! Thank you!
Thank goodness for the children 😂😂 bc my kids are loaded up too! Along with my kids’ friends & whoever else takes an interest LOL
Great chess/checker set Steve! Love the color combo ❤. Now I’m thinking black & red with gold ..or black & gold with red exterior 😅
Possibilities are endless. Great fun!🤩
Looks amazing Steve, hope your son loves it x
Thanks so much for this video Steve, I bought the Let's Resin mold as well, and actually plan to make a board next week, so perfect timing. Love the tip of x marks the spot, so helpful 👌 Definitely love the squidey widgey already so I won't forget to do that😂 And the baby wipe tip was new to me as well!! You are awesome Steve❤
Brilliant. I have just bought a kit. You explain it sooo well
Ohhh my heck that is beautiful
Oh i got that set! This is perfect timing!
Oh yes Steve, I have done that, put the wrong colour resin in the wrong part, so annoying, LOL. Thanks for the great tip, I love it!
🎉Wonderful tutorial 😊
I love this color story! May use it for a Gryffindor chest set! It’s always so disappointing when you demold those pieces and a bubble stop them from forming all the way!
Beautiful
Looking good 😊
Thats lovely! Really well done
Awesome as always!
Thanks for sharing.i have done a couple chess boards but will incorporate some of your tips on making the pieces. Thank you! ❤
Brilliant!!!!!
Great job 🎉 it turned out perfectly! Beautiful set 😊
I'll own up to it lol. I only have done it once but I've still done it😆
Gorgeous!!
Gorgeous chess set.❤ And that red! It's actual, proper red! Love it.
The crosses are such a good idea. Main issue I have with chess sets - and so have only tried twice, is demoulding the pieces. I've pulled their heads off some, totally failed to unmould some and they ended up, still in their mould, in the bin..... So good to see your approach to this. I might try again soon. Thanks
I love your channel!!! Beautiful work
Looks awesome!!!
Acrylic grouting. Love it ❤. For hubby’s 50th I made matching Spurs chess, draughts and dominoes. Like you, the chess pieces are SO much better when you squeeze the life out of them 1/3 full 🎉🎉
As far as views go... I have to look for you these days and I'm subscribed. If I don't click it right away, it disappears from my feed. And it's crazy that if I look at something different my feed is filled with more of the same and wipes most of what I wanted to see.
That's amazing! I wish i had the patience to do projects like this. I have a domino mold set that i still never tried using. Lol
That’s really nice!
WOW!! That was a nice looking chess board and pieces.
As an aside, I did check out your link for Let's Resin (don't know why I haven't before now) and was amazed at the prices.
Thank you for the link.
Wow!
I wondered about coloring the squares with interference/chameleon powder and then dumping black over the whole thing
That turned out amazing! Steve can you use table top resin for the chess board using the same technique you just showed us? I love how that gold & red turned out! ❤ You did a beautiful job as always.
Wow love it 🥰
It’s the time of year. Lots of people go on holiday and views drop, unless you’re retired like me lol
That’s gorgeous. Your son must love it. Do these sell well?
Very nice!
Awesome
that is so cool
Nice 🥰
What no glitter Steve?!! 🤣🤣 Beautiful outcome. What would that sell for?
nice job!
How much do you charge for the chess sets you make Steve? Your son's set came out really smart. I really like the colours he chose. Let's Resin moulds really are superior aren't they! Have a lovely weekend!
This is what I’m having trouble with. I’m trying to make a sports team for my son
Done it many times
❤❤❤
💖
I am one or the worst(or best?) at getting a checker pattern off. You are NOT alone😂
Looks lovely. Thanks for another quality video.
Quick question...what quantities of resin are needed for the set?
I am new to resin and have not tried a chess set, but I have put a quilt square in the wrong spot, and sideways to boot!
Absolutely beautiful!! How much would you sell this for??
Can you use the same baby wipe technique with other indented molds? I find that a lot of my indentations that I wanna color don't tend to hold the acrylic paint much =/ often comes out patchy looking
The mold definitely wasn’t square. Did you do anything to fix that? Or did it straighten with the weight of the resin?
👍🏻👏🏻😊
I would 100% get it in the wrong square at least once
✌❤
Do you think these would sell well on Etsy and how much would you charge for them?
I think I may be having a blind man moment Steve my love. I just cannot seem to be able to add the chess seta nd change the country from US to UK? x
I have trouble with it being uneven
Have you tried to use resincrete for this set? If you have, can you make a video? Or does it not work with resincrete.
It should work, but I imagine it would be terribly fragile compared to resin. It's harder to get bubbles completely out of eco resins. Plus, demolding the chess pieces would be a nightmare, I would think? I'd be afraid all the heads would pop off! 😲😵
Gosh...I sound like a Debbie Downer, don't I? I'm sorry! It's just that those potential problems popped into my head right away. I love Resin Crete, so if it can be done that would look so cool!
