you are such a boss. I'm 17 years old and i love wood working i don't really have anyone to teach me so i watch all your videos. this 7 part series was one of the greatest woodworking videos ever. i was wonder what got you inspired to start wood working. thank you for the videos I'm trying to watch all 151 videos, keep on posting!!
I normally don't even bother posting on RUclips videos, but for this one I just cannot ignore the competancy and expertise put into this project. I've never seen such a shiny finish, not even on glass! I'm looking to become a woodworker for either a hobby or a job and would be honored to pick up some of the skills used in these videos, as well as all of your other woodworking videos. Thanks for sharing these methods with us. It's much appreciated!
I sat down to watch your first project, 2 hours later I'm saying, nope, can't do that, but it was so great watching you. Thank you. And thank you Wyatt.
I learned so much through all 7 videos. A great project! I don't know if I would attempt something this complex just yet, though. Definitely gave me a lot of inspiration. I also always wondered how to get a glass-like finish on wood, and now I know. I really can appreciate now how much work goes into some of these projects and why hand-made furniture is so expensive. Well worth the money! I love watching all your videos, Steve. Thanks!
Steve you amaze me with your work. I watched this project about a year ago and it's what got me into woodworking, I'm now addicted to it, I just built the wheel barrow project for my uncles garden. Thank you for all the work you do and keep up the good work.
I learned more about finishing than anything. The drawers, case, inlay and top are all beautiful but the effort and confidence in your finish are absolutely inspiring. You may be a hobbyist, but in no way are you an amateur. Bravo, Steve!
Steve I just wanted to say thanks for you taking the time to make these videos. Most people have no idea how long it takes to even make the video let lone the woodworking project. You do a really great job at both. Thanks
I love all of your seven videos - Your son is lucky to have a father like yourself.... Thank for the videos - That was a great project and a awesome finish....
Wow, just watched all 7 films for this project. I have to say this is one of the best chessboards i have ever seen made. Your attention to detail is exceptional. You have gained another subscriber. Keep on making these wonderful projects.
Wyatt did a great job with the camera! The hand rubbed finish is awsome. Don't think i'll ever get there, still building functional things that get abused. The whole string of videos is very professional. Great Job!
Steve I'm going to have to say that was by far the best tutorial on how to do a finish. Yes I watched all seven but the final few on the finish was the icing on the cake. Thank You
I watched all 7 parts. I can't believe how beautiful the board is. I'm amazed. You should start selling them. Incredible job. Thank you for making these videos.
I'm quite impressed with the project as a whole, the quality of the construction shows through in the finished product. The finish you applied is remarkable .... you did not take any short cuts and it certainly shows. The filming was also very well done! Thanks for taking the time to do this. Tim
So refreshing to watch these older videos long before the enthusiasm and passion dimmed from the churn of the making big youtube bucks. Camera work obviously wasn't as refined back then. It's been a wild ride. Enjoy your retirement.
Steve, I`m a recent subscriber and I happily, joyfully, blissfully sat through all 7 parts. You`re the best! I learn some new tip or trick every time I watch your vids. Please, please keep up the good work.
Absolutely beautiful I enjoyed all seven episodes, and am awe struck with the way this turned out. Makes me feel inadequate in my ability to do woodworking. I have a chess set that I purchased back in the 60's, although they are plastic, they are sculpted with a lot of detail. A chess set such as this one would complement my chess pieces. I have to admit, I did build a chess table with piece holders, and it turned out great. It was for a friend when I was stationed in Katterbach, Germany. The uniqueness of the chess board was that the center 4 squares were about 1 inch tall, the next square of squares was 1 1/2 inches tall and they kept going up by 1/2 inch on each successive row and columns. When playing with this board, it was totally impossible to lose any pieces because it was a 3 dimensional board. As far as I know, my friend that I made this for, still owns this chess set. The tables and the piece holders stacked one on top of the other. I should have taken pictures of this when I had built it. Ah, hind sight is always 20/20.
i just watched all 7 parts and I'm amazed! you put so much time and work into this! It turned out absolutely beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this process. Thank you!
This was very educational. I really like your style of woodworking. I am an amateur (very amateur) wood worker and I find you to be the most helpful. You have a knack for teaching. Thank you! And yes, I watched all seven!!
I wish I had shown the lining better, too. Basically, it's just a lot of fussing and trimming of the felt to get it to fit properly. Glued in with contact cement. The sides aren't quite as buffed as the top, but pretty close. It's harder to get long, smooth stokes in the more confined area.
What an amazing adventure in wood work. Thank you for sharing your experience. All 7 parts were equaling engaging and informative. Now I know what it takes to make "glass" on wood.
Yes, I hunted down every part of this series. Believe it or not, I was looking for exactly this technique for that wonderful finish but nothing was as good as this one. Thank you, Steve!
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.
Just went through all the seven parts back-to-back and you are truely inspiring. I wish I had the space to put all the tools needed to woodwork and take up beautiful projects like this. But someday I will and will share it with you. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
I just finished art 7 !! Thank you Steve!! It’s amazing to see and understand how much WORK goes into properly finishing the project. So much value in this series! Super grateful for your content. God bless, keep rocking!!
Very nice series. Yes, I say through all seven episodes plus I took notes. This has inspired me to make one just like yours. Instead of walnut and maple, I used padauk and maple. The border is zebrawood and the inlay around the periphery of the board is ebony. I wiil finish this and give it to my son as a Christmas present. Thank you for sharing this with all of us novices out here.
i sat through all seven,i saved all 7 to my favourites and i will re watch all 7 as i make my own following your guide.Outstanding work and keep these vids coming in please.
Usually I have the attention span of a goldfish, but I found it easy to sit through all seven of these! Amazing work mate, all the hard work definitely paid off, that's the best looking chess board I've ever seen.
Absolutely beautiful board! My jaw dropped after seeing how glossy it was. I watched all 7 and like the goldfish watching above, I usually have an attention span of 15 minutes :P
All 7, amazing job, I can't believe you do this for a hobby. Great camera work as well. Wyatt deserves a ton of credit for holding the camera so well through out. Looking forward to the chess pieces. Also just happened apon this looking to make a stool which was also a great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
@imhotep9 I've been becoming a real fan of spray laquer and highly recommend it. The nice thing about it is that you can build up many coats very quickly. Plus, you can still rub it out to a really smooth finish.
Sat through all 7 videos....spectacular craftsmanship that shows through the quality of the piece!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Steve! I watched all 7 and it was one of the best I've seen. I made my first chess board over 40 years ago in high school woodshop. You've inspired me to take on another. Thanks for all the wonderful wood- and camera-work!
This was fun to use the way-back machine and revisit your first videos Steve. You did an amazing job on the chess board and the camera operator also gets kudos. Y'all rock! Yep, watched all seven episodes.
Wow! Quite possible some of the most entertaining videos on the ol' youtube! These videos really fueled my inspiration to build a chess set even more. Really looking forward to watch you turn the pieces. If your taking requests, how about some guitar building vids? Haha
I watched all the videos and all I can say is WOW! That is a beautiful chess board! I hope to make a similar one! Great instruction for us new wood working guys!
You mentioned in an earlier video that you don't have the best tools. If there ever was a testament of "its not the tools, it's the craftman that counts", you're certainly it. Excellent series, learned a lot, hope to use the finishing techniques in my turnings. Thanks.
I am totally blown away. Just an amazing project and great design and planning. Clearly lots of thought. Bookmarked for my future project and inspiration.
Very nice videos. Thanks for the lesson. So much information I'll probably need to revisit most of these at least a second time. And thank your cameraman for me! You couldn't have done it without him.
Finally got around to needing a mirror finish and watching these videos... wow it’s fun to see how things change from your current videos! Looks great Steve, thanks for getting me into woodworking and keeping things educational and entertaining.
Not only did I watch them all I have watched them a second time. As a jewelry maker i have an avid interest in polishing any thing to a mirror like finish.
I sat through all seven parts. And despite that I dont have nor tools neither materials to build such a magnificent chess board, you surely inspired me to maybe build it in the future. Thank you for videos and sharing master experience. Love them
Great video! I've been struggling through a chess set for about three months now and this series answered nearly all the questions I had. Thanks stevinmarin!
Man, that was a sweet video series!! And, yes, I did sit through the entire series. Thanks Steve and thanks to your awesome cameraman as well. I just learned something very very useful!!!! Regards, Tim in Athens
I am from your future. I went back in time to 2008 to watch your 7 chess board videos. I might watch them again when I have more skills to take on a project like this. Nice work.
I'm super envious of your talent and equipment!! :) I'm going to build one for my relative for Christmas after watching this!! :) All 7 videos were so good, I wish there were more to go through.
Steve, I've been watching each video as they came out for the last several years and I thought it was time to go back to the beginning. The chess board series is as great as if you made it today. Well, I have a few hundred more to watch in series, so I'll see you along the trail. Your stuff is great Steve!
all seven parts one after the other and it was brilliant, you really are very good at wood working and an inspiration to everyone who watches your videos!
Steve, loved this chess board project. A few recommendations if your shop has the room: 1. A good cabinet grade table saw and a work bench that doubles as an out feed table. 2. Some dust collection. An overhead collector at minimum. 3. A compressor will help in a lot of ways including keeping the shop clean. Keep the great videos coming.
I subscribe to your videos but hadn't seen these until I did a search for chess boards - my daughter-in-law has asked me to make one. Wow, Steve, how you have changed over the years! And not nearly as much as your camera man has. Even in your early efforts you made a very informative and helpful series. Thanks.
Steve - Thank you for the videos!!! I just sat through all 7 straight and I'm about to see what else you have on here. Your video's are great and I hope I'm learning a lot.
I've been watching your videos for years, but just today went back to check out the first video (All 7 Parts). You hand out encouragement like it is free candy at the store. I started out with a scroll saw, then I found your channel, and wanted to expand upon, just cutting out designs. My next project is your rolling wood cart. I'm excited to try my hand at that. And as always, but must have missed it in this episode. Nice Mystery Spot bumper sticker. Cheers!
Sat through all seven episodes... I find this project obsessively interesting and am entirely grateful that you took the time to share it with us. I covet your skill.
Wow! Yes I made it through all 7 videos, for an amatuer you make some pretty nice stuff. I watched and tried to make the outdoor red oak doormat but mine didn't turn out as well. I may try this at a later date, but need to get more practice first. Good job Steve!
Excellent series. Watched all seven, and thoroughly enjoyed them. We've been wanting to make a Parcheesi board for quite some time now, and many of your methods can be applied to that. Especially enjoyed the finishing process. Great stuff.
Yep...I watched 'em all! Woodworking has always interested me and this was a fun video to watch! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this! Awesome build!
built a board with minor changes for grandson. did not have time for base and drawer but the way I built it I can deliver that later. great videos. i watched all 7, some more than once. bob
you are such a boss. I'm 17 years old and i love wood working i don't really have anyone to teach me so i watch all your videos. this 7 part series was one of the greatest woodworking videos ever. i was wonder what got you inspired to start wood working. thank you for the videos I'm trying to watch all 151 videos, keep on posting!!
how's the woodworking going? I'm just getting started at 24 :-)
I normally don't even bother posting on RUclips videos, but for this one I just cannot ignore the competancy and expertise put into this project. I've never seen such a shiny finish, not even on glass! I'm looking to become a woodworker for either a hobby or a job and would be honored to pick up some of the skills used in these videos, as well as all of your other woodworking videos.

Well worth the money! I love watching all your videos, Steve. Thanks!
I worked on it over the course of about five weekends, whenever I had time. The finishing process definitely takes the most time.
Thanks for watching. One of these days I'll get to the pieces. I'm struggling on the knight...it requires more than basic lathe turning.
Steve you amaze me with your work. I watched this project about a year ago and it's what got me into woodworking, I'm now addicted to it, I just built the wheel barrow project for my uncles garden. Thank you for all the work you do and keep up the good work.

@chesswa I am a woodworker, not a professional chess player.The nice thing is that you can make yours however you like! Good luck!
I watched all 7 parts. I can't believe how beautiful the board is. I'm amazed. You should start selling them.
Incredible job. Thank you for making these videos.

Six and a half years later Steve and this is still right at the top of the list for my favorites of your projects!
That's a one fine chessboard! :)
I had to watch all the seven episode's at once. :)
Thank you very much for your video's.
Greetings from Finland!
So refreshing to watch these older videos long before the enthusiasm and passion dimmed from the churn of the making big youtube bucks. Camera work obviously wasn't as refined back then. It's been a wild ride. Enjoy your retirement.
Steve, I`m a recent subscriber and I happily, joyfully, blissfully sat through all 7 parts. You`re the best! I learn some new tip or trick every time I watch your vids. Please, please keep up the good work.
Yes Steve, I sat and watched all the videos in a single sitting. You certainly have far better equipment than I have in my shed. I am envious!
Absolutely beautiful I enjoyed all seven episodes, and am awe struck with the way this turned out. Makes me feel inadequate in my ability to do woodworking.

Yes, I hunted down every part of this series. Believe it or not, I was looking for exactly this technique for that wonderful finish but nothing was as good as this one. Thank you, Steve!
NICE!! I have never seen anyone walk through the hand rubbing process like that. WHAT A FINISH. Just AWESOME!!!
@xxxxhixxx I haven't had any splitting, but a 5/8" top is probably a better idea. I was being cheap!
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.

Just watched all 7. Been watching you for years. That was the best video for getting that piano finish that i have seen. You Rock!
I love the super glossy finish as opposed to the satin finish. This was an amazing project that turned out incredibly well. Enjoyed all 7 videos!
Watched all seven and learned a lot. Thanks for posting ... and thanks for giving the cameraman some credit! He did a great job.
I just finished art 7 !! Thank you Steve!! It’s amazing to see and understand how much WORK goes into properly finishing the project. So much value in this series! Super grateful for your content. God bless, keep rocking!!
@TheDeltaFlight Possbibly. Rockler and WOodcraft carry it.
Just finished your 7-part series, and, WOW, what a fine job! There is a lot of love in that board. You are inspiring, Sir.
Very nice series. Yes, I say through all seven episodes plus I took notes. This has inspired me to make one just like yours. Instead of walnut and maple, I used padauk and maple. The border is zebrawood and the inlay around the periphery of the board is ebony. I wiil finish this and give it to my son as a Christmas present.

WOW!!! that finish is amazing can't believe i'm only now getting round to watching this series of videos. Nice work Steve.
its nuts to watch old videos and see how time changes us all.
Absolutely beautiful board! My jaw dropped after seeing how glossy it was. I watched all 7 and like the goldfish watching above, I usually have an attention span of 15 minutes :P
All 7, amazing job, I can't believe you do this for a hobby. Great camera work as well. Wyatt deserves a ton of credit for holding the camera so well through out. Looking forward to the chess pieces.

Sat through all seven episodes...learnt a lot especially about the finishing. Thanks Steve.
You are too humble! For you sir, are no mere mortal. This is truly beautiful mate
Steve this is like my 3rd time watching ALL 7 PARTS to this video! I cant believe how easy you make all this look!!
Sat through all 7 videos....spectacular craftsmanship that shows through the quality of the piece!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Yup, all seven episodes. Loved them all. I must say that finish is a work of art. It's beautiful Steve! I have to try that on a project myself.
Thanks, Steve! I watched all 7 and it was one of the best I've seen. I made my first chess board over 40 years ago in high school woodshop. You've inspired me to take on another. Thanks for all the wonderful wood- and camera-work!
I've watched this series many times and still think it's the best on here for the making of a chess board.
This was fun to use the way-back machine and revisit your first videos Steve.

Excellent series, learned a lot, hope to use the finishing techniques in my turnings.
Thanks.
I sat through all 7 of the video's and loved them all. You truly are a master.
@dekeppes Sure, but i tend to just take a break then. It ain't a good idea to mix power tools and anger!
I watched all 7 parts in one sitting. Thanks for great camera work, Wyatt!
Wyatt is awesome!! Thank you for taking the time to teach this.
A masterclass in lacquering! Thanks so much for that. I'll be putting it into practice this weekend. And yes, I watched every episode too.
I am totally blown away. Just an amazing project and great design and planning. Clearly lots of thought. Bookmarked for my future project and inspiration.
Very nice videos. Thanks for the lesson. So much information I'll probably need to revisit most of these at least a second time. And thank your cameraman for me! You couldn't have done it without him.
It still amazes me that you can make wood look so glossy. Great Work!

Can't believe I got so hooked watching this. Good job all 7 episodes are captivating. (I don't think my wife would agree though!!!!!)
Thank you
paul
I'd like to let you know that I watched all 7 and to see that beautiful finish at the end was worth the wait. Good work Steve!
Yep, made it through all 7, Steve. Great looking board! And I love the finish!
That table board came out really really nice. I really enjoyed watching this, good tips, nice editing and good music.
Great video! I've been struggling through a chess set for about three months now and this series answered nearly all the questions I had. Thanks stevinmarin!
Man, that was a sweet video series!! And, yes, I did sit through the entire series.
Thanks Steve and thanks to your awesome cameraman as well. I just learned something very very useful!!!!
Regards,
Tim in Athens
I am from your future. I went back in time to 2008 to watch your 7 chess board videos. I might watch them again when I have more skills to take on a project like this. Nice work.
That's a really beautiful craft, great tutorial. Thanks
@The09121971 Thanks. Those band saw boxes are addicting to make!
I gladly watched all 7 videos. My wife watched some with me too! Very cool. Thank you sir! I'm inspired and looking forward to seeing the pieces made.
I'm super envious of your talent and equipment!! :) I'm going to build one for my relative for Christmas after watching this!! :) All 7 videos were so good, I wish there were more to go through.
Sat through all seven parts. Looks really cool and fun. Definitely will have to try it if I ever find enough time.
Steve, I've been watching each video as they came out for the last several years and I thought it was time to go back to the beginning. The chess board series is as great as if you made it today. Well, I have a few hundred more to watch in series, so I'll see you along the trail. Your stuff is great Steve!
Watched all 7. Love it. I see you have improved your safety since making this video. Awesome project. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
all seven parts one after the other and it was brilliant, you really are very good at wood working and an inspiration to everyone who watches your videos!
Steve, loved this chess board project. A few recommendations if your shop has the room:
1. A good cabinet grade table saw and a work bench that doubles as an out feed table. 2. Some dust collection. An overhead collector at minimum.
3. A compressor will help in a lot of ways including keeping the shop clean.
Keep the great videos coming.
@Geissler745 I'm pretty sure Rockler.com carries it.
I am slowly getting into wood working and have loved all of your videos. Not sure I have that much patience for a finish that awesome. Good job Steve!
WWWOWWWW BEAUTIFUL YOUR SON MUST BE PROUD OF YOU MY FRIEND.YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO DETAILED ..THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Yes, watched all seven parts - very enjoyable and a great job Steve!
Now I'm fired up to make one!
I subscribe to your videos but hadn't seen these until I did a search for chess boards - my daughter-in-law has asked me to make one. Wow, Steve, how you have changed over the years! And not nearly as much as your camera man has. Even in your early efforts you made a very informative and helpful series. Thanks.
Steve - Thank you for the videos!!! I just sat through all 7 straight and I'm about to see what else you have on here. Your video's are great and I hope I'm learning a lot.
I happily made it through all 7 videos! This has reminded me of how much I loved woodwork at one time... inspired to dive back into it!!
I've been watching your videos for years, but just today went back to check out the first video (All 7 Parts). You hand out encouragement like it is free candy at the store. I started out with a scroll saw, then I found your channel, and wanted to expand upon, just cutting out designs. My next project is your rolling wood cart. I'm excited to try my hand at that.

Couldn't stop watching I made it through all 7 and that board looked beautiful
Well, I did the seven, so tremendous job, incredible result and wonderful learning, thank you!!
built a board with minor changes for grandson. did not have time for base and drawer but the way I built it I can deliver that later. great videos. i watched all 7, some more than once.
