Steve, I have been watching you since your chess board video. I have had two brain surgeries since then and and was a woodworker...before. I love you and your videos, you have inspired me, and Jay is awesome too. I'm happy you have gotten together. I have been scared to comment cause i might get something wrong but I had my wife fix this for me. With her help, and your inspiration, I am finally getting back to doing what I love. Thank you.
so how are/were things going for you? still back in the shop? :) nice to read this, even 6 years later
That´s a very good idea for Christmas gifts. Your new website is amazing, I check it out every single day. Thank your for the great videos. Thanks to MicroJig and Harry´s for sponsoring the show.
Thanks for keeping great woodworking content free for all and providing us with great infotainment as well!
Its been a long time since that lathe has gotten some work on it. You make me feel so much better about being new to the lathe myself.
I love the way you do your adds, they are always very creative and I actually enjoy watching. Your woodworking is great too!!!
Holy shit... Hot glue a guide to the saw table... Congratulations sir you just blew my mind. I went a different direction and it worked out, but I will try my best to remember this hack. Freaking genius.
Now, make one-square-long walls, and cut out little motorcycle shapes the same thickness as the walls, so they'll slot into the grooves, and each player's turn = moving the cycle forward or left or right one space, and placing a wall behind.
GENIUS!!
Bonus points: Make the walls out of transparent colored plastic, one color for each player.
Tron ftw! Nice idea
Im honestly surprised you dont have more views on this one, this is a great project. Love your videos.
Cool game. Like the way the board turned out
Good stuff as always Steve, Kids would like this game. Thanks
Never heard of the game before, not a huge board game player, but this looks great! Saw the video last night, had some free time today in between Christmas gift making, so I pumped one of these suckers out.
Really like that a lot steve! I'll be using that as a gift idea for sure!
Great video! Not only does it look simply enough to make, the game it self looks verry fun and challenging! Love you videos and the way you show you sponsers!
Why, hello there good sir. A cherry day to you!
Didn't realize you'd made Quarto! That was on my project list! Oh well... :)
You can always make a laser cut version with audiuno power score board or something.
Zach M True!
I Like To Make Stuff And DRONES!! Would be so cool with UAV's hovering overhead! lol
how funny. i took a picture of this game in a toy store to make my own. and then you came out with this video!
Love the key idea--creative and smart.
Love the new website!
Nice project I never heard of that game before looks like a fun game. Thanks Steve
Just made my dad a version of this game. I also made a lid so all the pieces are easily stored.
Wonderful gift idea...I'm going to make it.
Sweet razor... After your last plug I ordered and just received my regular one from Harry's. I guess I'll have to start a collection.
Congratulation! Very good!
Great idea for the Quoridor game. Making one now.
I'm definately making this!
This would make a great gift. Think I'll make one and mail it to myself.
I love the constant hints at the chess pieces.
Really like your game videos!
Nice game, good job!
Like the look of that game nice job
Great new web site Steve. Thanks for the work you put into it.
Love the board game! Thanks Steve, I'll go to your new Web site.
BTW, why would anyone give a thumbs down on these videos?
What a great project. I can't wait to make a few of these and I'll use Denis Ryan's suggestion about cutting slots to hold the wood walls. I also love that tip about gluing the strip to the table saw. Great job Steve. (five stars ***** (five is the highest)),
i just love your game projects! Would love to see one built with limited tools
great video and idea Steve I Be!! thanks for sharing!!
Very cool to see the lathe spinning.
This was a really cool project. I'm going to try this one :-) thanks for showing it
Greetings from Belgium
Erik
Always love your games..
Cool game :-) congrats on the formeremortals site
STEVE! you need to make an octagonal gaming table with a 2 sided top. one for poker, the other for Quattro, Othello, etc. cup holders would be a must! :)
His shirt! 2:16 LOL!!!
Nice to see you use your lathe again! :D
I Made one of this when I started woodworking when I was about 7 years old my family still plays with it.
Alright, you finally sold me a Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrripppppppppppppperrrrrrrrrrr. Tell Microjig you want a raise. Also I bought my daughter the Lego version of Quoridor a couple years ago and it's a fun game.
i love this game! i haven't seen the video yet, but i'm sure i'll like it as well!!
That actually looks like a really cool game that my young ones could play, might give this one a crack.
Totally! I play it with the kids I work with, aged 6-12yrs, and they all love it. The 6 yr olds take great pleasure in beating me. Because it plays so fast, they'll play again and again until they win. I never cheat them by letting them win, but they do regularly spot a move that destroys my strategy, and beating my honestly feels so good for both of us.
Haha trying the pawn thing right now. Slowly but surely I should have them done!
Yey just made this game, was truly exciting. Made it on the cnc so its not actual woodworking, since i dont have the skill, but i have made the cnc out of wood, so i can pretend its woodworking :) thanks Steve for a great insperation :) happy New year ;)
Well you are working with wood so it is woodworking
I'm totally making this... :)
Steve I dont know if you know but use shavings in your hand to polish turned wood once its done and still spinning. Thanks, much love my californian scottish brother.
Idea for the pieces: plan out the piece shape and create a template for the lathe. Higher repeatability and consistency.
My famliy has been watching you and we made a lot of stuff my friends thought the geek clock was a light
Still waiting for those chess pieces, I think you're quite talented with that lathe.
This looks like a lot of fun. I might have to make one of these soon; thanks for the idea!
Also, it was kind of weird seeing the ad for the Grr-Ripper, then watching you use your hands to push the wood on the table saw. :-P
Nice!
Cool !!
nice work
Hey I'm a huge fan of your work and videos. I stumbled on to your channel by mistake and just fell in love with all the craftsmanship and creativity. I was wondering if you have a link or a video of all the tools you have and use in your shop that help you create these amazing projects.
your channel is great! you have amazing ideas...I subbed to you...Aris here from philippines...God bless...
Hey Steve, I can tell by your enthusiasm about chess that you'd love to make all those pawns and other duplicate pieces by hand! ........ well maybe not, ... but if you check out jimmy diresta's stuff he has a pretty good way to only have to make a single piece and then duplicate them. they don't all come out as wooden parts, but its an easy way out of having to lathe a whole bunch of identical parts.
3:42 I see what you did there... YOU ARE NOT OUT OF THIS YET!
Simple enough! I like it! And my wood turning would be the only challenge. Thankfully the pieces don't have to be matching lol
soy fan de tu canal
I know have a full wood work shop and do I like it .YES my wife has to drag me away
Steve, what's that attachment you have on your can of ... you know?
New it's Decembeard!
Cool
So it's okay as I'm sure you're aware, but as no shave November is coming to a close we roll right into don't shave December. Promptly followed by just mustache January, and facial hair February.
It's shavember!
Steve please make a turning project!
Nice job, Steve. I'll have to add this project to my list. The list never seems to shrink....wonder why that is?
woodworking project suggestion...Kubb, old viking lawn game
Cool game, I like it.
Speaking of making 16 pawns, when are you gonna make the pieces for that chess board you made years ago?
"And finally i'll put on a coat of spray lacquer"
I think you need more wobble in that table saw. :-)
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that!
Would a clear coat spray paint seal bare plywood enough for a cup coaster?
What aerosol finishing product do you use? I have tried all at the box stores and found them terrible. Some bubble, some blob or run...
This looks like a great short project and fun to play. But for the life of me I cannot find your link to the plans. I can probably figure it out with the video but...
Never mind, I found the link on the opening page and I have it. Great looking project.
The lath is a hint at the chess pices
You can see parts of the tardis in the background
Have you ever considered mandrel turning? Or making a pen? Its a good way to get more turning practice.
oh wow, that shirt hahah
1:05 Fix the foot on that wobbly table saw! :-)
I couldn't find the plans on your website.
Do you put blades tooth be tooth or side be side?
the game looks fun as fuck i never heard of it i must try it
Turning identical is a pain in the butt, trust me I've done it
I don't yet own a table saw. Could this be done with a circular saw?
i gave this annoying but rewarding problem in my class when we do wood projects >.> i dont turn my stuff in untill its rounded over and finished with a fine grit sand paper... i might post my top that we just made in class today!!! on the website
I assume the hot glued piece came off easily. Did it?
I recommend building a Kubb set. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubb
It is a great backyard game with some good strategy and skill!
Identical chess pieces would be hard to do.
It turns out they just use pawn shaped chisels
hi stave could you make a glasses from wood?,, thx
Whoever did the German subtitles doesn't know a whole lot of woodworking technical terms.
***** How does the board stay in the frame? I didn't see a rabbit or even any glue holding it in.
NOT FIRST!!!
I made the same board game a few weeks ago! Except I cheated and used a CNC machine :/
I use Gillette instead of Harry's and that works out just fine too. :)
I bet shipping is only free in USA..
Did I see TARDIS bits in the background?
Top video ..you yes YOU made me go buy a table saw and er mmm 2000 British pounds later dammit you Steve lol
