- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- In this video I made a face grain chess board with 2.5" squares made from Bird's Eye Maple and Bolivian Rosewood (Morado). It has a 3" walnut frame with a 1/8" brass border around the playing field and curly maple edge banding around the perimeter of the frame. Initials for Ray and his grandson Max are engraved with a CNC router and then gilded.

You made this chess board for my dad! It's beautiful ❤️
It was a pleasure making it for him. He was great to work with. I hope he and Max get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
@@Woodumakeit I want one please it's just so beautiful 🥺
Thanks for the Vivaldi. I played Summer and Spring.
@@Woodumakeit pp
@@giannir.3755 Oy
I love the whole video but the end with your client playing chess with his grandson is the best part of the whole thing
Totally agree! I was excited to release the video for that reason. I'm so glad that Ray offered to send me the photos and video clips.
I can see the grandson playing chess with _his_ grandson, decades from now, and the board will probably still be in great shape as a family heirloom!
All of the chess pieces looked kinda black though so would be confusing lol
@@alexsampson2630 true that
best part was when the old man hung his queen hahahaha
A Chess Board that will forever be treasured by the Grandson and passed down for Generations. Well done🤝
The grandson's boyfriend is going to smash the board in a fit of rage during an argument in the summer of 2073. ☹️
@@bobbydazzler6990 boyfriend? you mean son?
I am really impressed with this chessboard build. Now I want to try to build one for my son who has stood by me going through cancer treatments multiple times in the last 22 years. This chessboard is special. Thanks
I’m enjoying 3 things at once: chess, woodworking and music. Thank you!
I liked the content but not the music. It would have been better without it.
@@wayne9287 im gonna have to dissagree on that one.
The music was too loud and annoying. Without please.
@@wayne9287 yall tried pimped up classical music?? ruclips.net/video/2gqET_Erc0E/видео.html&ab_channel=AstralVibe
I had been wondering the entire time why the client would want to select the music which played during your build. Then I realized: He was making memories for his grandson, Max, to remember him by. He'll realize one day what a great gift it is to have such a thoughtful granddad.
The music initially requested by the client was a few tracks from Billy Idol's self-titled debut album that was released in 1982. The craftsman could not locate his copy of Billy Idol "Billy Idol" so there was no White Wedding, Hot In The City, or Dancing With Myself playing behind this wonderful video. Fortunately, the client's second choice, Vivaldi - Four Seasons, was easy to locate and meld into this video.
What a beautiful 40 minute slice of life
We would all be lucky if each of us possessed one skill to the degree that Mike here has for his craft. That board and pieces combo is what most chess players dream of
we all do we just dont dedicate ourselves to one craft too many of us try to do too much instead of picking one skill
AS a chess player i can only say that board is stunning and i would love to have one like it......but even more enjoyable was seeing grandfather and grandson...bonding over a game and enjoying the life changing moments in that home and what it all represents....great video!
I love playing chess. What’s your chess rating, just curious.
I’m a sucker for watching any craftsman work.
I’m especially fascinated by woodworking.
I’m an old school chess player.
I thrive on beautiful music.
And you narrate so beautifully.
So, it was a 40 minutes amazingly spent.
Thank you good sir.
You certainly hit the right video! Glad they hit all your buttons!
A masterpiece ... the chessboard, the storytelling, and even the Four seasons of Vivaldi that set the pace..
Exactly... i was wondering if someone else enjoy the full clip as it is, without jumping forward... is exquisite !
That Maple and Rosewood is a wonderful combination. Especially the Maple comes alive with the finish.
Excellent board. Any Chess - player would fall in love with this Board, just as I did. 🙂
Whoever this guy is who recommended Vivaldi and the classic chessboard look has my respect. What a top guy! Loved it
A great compendium of things , Vivaldi's finest work and the Best chess board film on RUclips 🙂
That is an absolutely stunning piece of wood work. Such a beautiful chess board.
Absolutely wonderful. The Work, the clients, the board, the entire video. So glad you posted this. Thank you.
Stunning board. Loved the video ending when the grandson knocked off the queen with his knight. haha
I call Max “The Queen Stealer”
Come for the master craftsmanship, stay for the Vivaldi.
Fast forward Vivaldi? Of course not.
I never thought i would watch a 40 minute video of somebody making a chessboard…
Twice ;)
The fact that you had Vivaldi the four seasons in the back round brought the video to another level of greatness, and the chess board is to put it perfectly is "beautifully elegant."
Currently deployed and got really into chess while im in the desert. Going down the rabit hole and came to this. Beautiful handywork! What a masterpiece.
Run it will suck your life away, just joking. I love chess!
I am impressed. To the point that price is not a consideration. This is truly a work of art. Thanks for sharing the experience with us all.
This entire thing is... very relaxing to watch
the best part of this video is the match between grandfather and grandson at the end made me smile with the thought that it might be me someday
Incredible. Loved the extended video and and seeing more of the process. Thank you for doing and sharing.
So glad I took the time to watch this in its entirety. So well done in every way ... the video, music, woodworking etc
Magnificent work and I absolutely love Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons as accompanying music. Great choice!
yeah that's exactly what I tought
This is absolutely stunning and your craftsmanship is superb. Thank you so much for walking through this. I learned a ton and hope to carry many of these lessons to my work.
I’ve only just begun my journey in woodworking and watching this video is inspiring. Beautiful work!
What a joy to own and use, a real treasure to pass down the generations.
I’ll try very hard to make one, but without the gold leaf. Your’s is beautiful! 😊
I totally enjoyed your video. Being a woodworker myself, I was amazed at your talent and drooled over a few of your tools. This video was reminiscent of a time when my dad (who passed away 5 years ago) made a chess board for himself and another for his father when I was just a child myself. One board was a present for my grandfather on his 62nd birthday. That board has now passed on to me and will pass on to my son at some point in the future.
You have created a chessboard that will be handed down for generations as well and treasured through the ages! Job well done!
I never thought I would sit through an entire video like that, but I was thoroughly entertained. Your craftmanship is exceptional. Watching them play with the board you created for them was the chef's kiss. Great work.
Really shows the meticulous labor that goes into a work of art! That was quite a journey with the majestic orchestra in the background, your skill and your amazing work shop! Thank you for that!
Absolutely amazing workmanship.
this board is so freaking beautiful. I'm almost in tears because it's so heartwarming and beautiful. Incredible work, keep it up!!!
Only channel that I don't skip any second of videos😂
You, sir, are a masterful craftsman!
Such a joy to watch a master at work. Well done.
I did make it for all three grandsons. they loved it. I made a table 16" high and the board is 15"x 15".
beautiful workmanship
I waited for the polish of the Birdseye Maple. Maple truly is one of the most beautiful wood, once polished. From baseball bats to chess boards. Nice master piece.
Absolutely stunning what a chess board, I have no words to describe it, amazing work.
Brilliant video, brilliant workmanship, and brilliant music - thank you
I for one appreciate Vivaldi’s works, so an extra bonus for watching the video
I dont think I've ever sat through a video this long! Well done!
It's a great piece of music, and a pleasure watching a skilled artisan work, and make such a beautiful piece...
What a work of art. I am truly stunned.
I'm new to woodworking but watching your video has inspired me to make a chessboard, thank you for sharing this piece
Beautiful work! I have always wanted a custom chess board (and set) that could be passed down for generations! It looks like that is exactly what you did here! Bravo!
Perfect size and beautiful work.
Awesome video! A pleasure to watch someone who does such fine work, and explains it so well.
Yes, I would make it! Stunning work, and I appreciate the technique tip with routing the finger slots. I recently discovered your channel, and very glad I did. Thanks so much for the fantastic content and keep up the amazing work!
This is like a master class on how to make a chess board. Very nice work.
This is stunning, love the wood grain and the esthetic of it
Well done
this chessboard is an absolutely beautiful piece of art!!! I would love to have this on on my desk!
The most gorgeous chess board I think I have ever seen,Ray now has a family heirloom to pass on to his grandson, great video!
Such care, precision and craftsmanship. Vivaldi added so much to the video. I aspire to make a chess board for my son. This video provides great insight into the process. Thanks
That chess board is incredible! Seriously well done!
This is truly amazing, and so wholesome at the end!
A very unique and wonderful masterpiece
I would absolutely make that if I had the tools that you have at my disposal. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship and artwork!!! Bravo!!!!!
Wow that is insanely good craftsmanship! Beautiful chess board!! Well done.
Such a pleasure to watch (and listen to.) That board is magnificent.
I love the music in the background, an amazing work.
Your music selections are superb. It's exactly what I listen to when working Jewelry in gold or silver.
Now you need to make a matching clock for him. Great work!
I just started making a small board for my 1st cousin once removed and this is just some beautiful inspiration.
Awesome simply awesome. As a fellow woodworker I have to say i am inspired and I would for sure make this in honor of the impeccable quality and love you put into this board!
I absolutely love your chess board videos. I also like the classical music added to the video! Great work, owning a chess board like this is my dream.
Just beautiful! Fell in love with the board! ❤
What a beautiful board. True craftsman
Great build, loved the use of the ply wood as body for the chess board. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.
Very instructional. Nice project and detail. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.

An absolutely beautiful presentation all tied together with the Vivaldi. Seeing Ray and Max putting the chessboard to use was a very nice touch. Wow.
Absolutely magnificent. I really love the music
Learned something new today with your echnique about the finger slots. Definatly keeping that in the bag of tricks!
Beautiful board btw!
Absolutely amazing board!
It looks like you have to be extremely meticulous and patient not to mention skillful. Great video!
Simply a "Masterpiece"! This video made me meditate on the capacity of human beings to go beyond their creative limits, in addition to bringing together one of the greatest legacies that God left humanity; the music! My most sincere congratulations from Brazil!
It's a wonderful love letter to his grandson.
This is an incredible piece of art Sir!
