Best board I have seen made in terms of craftsmanship. Love the colors. One major issue. The board cannot be played on. In chess, the white pieces are placed starting on the A1 square and the white queen would end up on the white square. Meaning he placed the letters edges where the numbers should of been and vice versa. I wondered if he could fix it.
I live in Australia 5th generation mining family. Who is now an established chef. I have seen family with beautiful precision tools create obscure technical beautiful apparatus. I also use expensive beautiful tools in a craft to create decadent and emotionally filled food. Your work somehow completely keeps me awestruck and enthralled. Congratulations on providing a truly educational, peaceful and rewarding experience on RUclips.
wow that is actually a fantastic looking board you've made there, apart from the coordinates issues its looks beautiful, although looking at the thickness of the board and the board that the coordinates errors on it, I would consider slicing the board in half and getting 2 boards out of the project
It’s a beautiful piece but as many has already said the square of A1 should always be black. Think you can move the board around and the result will be impressive!!
mtmwood I think there might be a minimal-effort fix here (if you still have the board). Inlay walnut rank and file indicators on a maple background, zip out the ones that are there and put the new references in their place. Could be done in a single strip on each side or circles for each. By reversing the colors, you're not inlaying the walnut on itself, and it will hide the original issue... making it look like it was intended.
@Santo White's queen goes on its own color which means white's H1 square is supposed to be light. The carpenter wasn't paying attention made White's H1 be dark instead of light. A beautiful board marred by a simple mistake. :-/
Maybe that´s why he decided to show it and probably sell it as a cutting board and not as a chessboard. Even the most talented persons can make silly mistakes. Still, that´s a beautiful... "cutting board".
well, no matter how talented you are, even a lot of chess players don't pay attention to that detail :p i've seen a lot of chess games with the wrong pattern...
Andrey, I've been a fan for a while now and finally attempted my first chessboard. I watched a lot of your techniques and give you a nod at the end of the video. Thanks for your great work and inspiration!
About a year and a half ago I found someone who had a walnut log and he cut it into 1 inch slabs for me and I ended up with about 150 board feet, he charged me 300.00 and I thought I got a real good deal. A few weeks ago I was planing it down and hit a few nails so it was off to a bad start. After running it through the planer I noticed all the knots and sapwood so I decided to use some red oak that I had instead for a dining room table and some benches for my daughter. Someday I will use the walnut, just not sure what for now. Thanks for all your videos, very interesting.
Great looking CUTTING BOARD! Only improvement I'd offer is to see the inlay between the field and the border recessed as a blood groove.Yes, the field is off, but a 90* rotation before assembling the border will fix that. Great work though, watching the CNC do it's thing is mesmerizing!
You are an amazing craftsman and artist. Very creative and inspirational. Please keep the videos coming...they give me so many ideas for family presents.
As a subscriber I am still amazed at the artistry of these cutting boards. You have inspired me to make some for my wife. However, I noticed that one of the "F" letters was set below the other letters.
Huge amount of work but a beautiful item in the end. Wonder how many hours. Not everyone will have a CNC machine. I wonder if walnut oil would be suitable as a finish.
Best is a drying oil, normally a mixture of plant oil and linseed oil. Natural oil is made for natural wood. Even if some comments are deleted or not. ;-) I only want the readers here to start thinking if unnatural material is so good in the body.
I used your technique to make my own board and its turning out pretty good. I don't have the fancy equipment, but I'm getting it done. When I finish I will post it on my channel for you to see.
brillante trabajo, es todo una fantástica obra de arte perfecta. me encanta. Gracias por compartir este espectacular vídeo maestro, lindo trabajo, perfecto gracias .
Beautiful heavy chess board but the A1 is always black. Use now the DGT e-Board USB Rosewood. Would like to have a DGT Walnut Chess board but it’s very rare. Had a lot of wooden Chess boards but have not the space for it. Great video to see how it’s made.
I hate to say this because it's so beautiful... The letters need to be where the numbers are and the entire board rotated 90 degrees in either direction.. When setting up pieces, the rule is: white on right, queen on her color. This means that when facing your side of the board, the square at the furthest right on the row closest to you is supposed to be white. This board can be played correctly or called correctly but not both.
The letters in chess are misplaced while playing chess light square (light side) always comes to players right side hence A B C D starts from black and end at H at black Here A is starting from dark square instead of white light square which is incorrect else a nice video so A1 should be a dark square
Also the ranks are numbered from white's position, so white's queen is on d1 and black's queen is on d8. I realize this years ago but hope it was easily rectified.
Andrei, great video. The CNC was amazing. That little bit was the best so far. We just talked about scraps the other video....mistakes happen. I just made a board for a customer and never looked at the second sheet of the plans my wife created. The funny thing is, the sheets were stapled together. I never saw the last two strip of the board. Sooooooo the cutting board was two inches too small. My wife got another cutting board and I had to make another one! Best Wishes Patrick
Patrick Melchior Good morning, Patrick! It half past seven in Russia. I am going to bring my kids to the kindergarten and go to the shop. I make 3D boards #6 and #7 now.
mtmwood kindergarten..... Wow. The boys are growing fast. It is now quarter past 7, making coffee, and today in the shop I'll be milling up wood for some serving trays. Good day Sir.
Excelente trabajo , muy fino y delicado con una terminación exquisita. Solamente un pequeño (?) error : en ajedrez H1 siempre es blanco !!! Donde van los números debiste colocar las letras y viceversa. Aún así repito es un trabajo exquisito. Felicitaciones !!!
The customer is going to use it as cutting board. Varnish is better than mineral oil, more durable, but it is not fully food safe. I use varnish for other projects - ruclips.net/video/uHteRLX2-00/видео.html
Whether the H1 is white or black - I couldn't care less. The woodworking is amazing. I had a look at your website, and see that you are selling your chopping (cutting) boards for a very low price. Perhaps in Russia, $126 is a lot for a handmade item, but globally, I think you could and should charge more. This chess board is a work of art, and I hope that you don't sell yourself short on it. I think I would charge $300-$400 for something like that. Best of luck to you.
who the heck would give this a thumbs down?? beautiful work. Just thought the enamel finish could have been better especially for all the work that was put into this.. great though :)
Amazing to watch this talented craftsman at work. I was yelling NOOOO when I noticed the error. White square is always bottom right for each player. This chess board is now just for decoration. What a shame he didnt do the homework.
+Bo Belga +zorgi He meant "I don't think so pal" as in, it's an obvious mistake, why would you intentionally make a mistake on a cutting board just because it's not a chess board? Personally when I attempt this great demo I'll do it with White is Right, even though I'm not going to use it as either a cutting board or a chess board.
¡Hermoso todo este proceso de ver cómo va surgiendo el tablero de ajedrez de listones de madera!, oye, una pregunta: El video en el minuto 1: 39 y luego, en el minuto 10:52, ¿Esas maquinas que parecen unas impresoras para papel, qué son esas maquinas? / ¿Tú haces las tallas (con un torno) de las piezas de ajedrez también o sólo fabricas los tableros nada más?. Saludos desde la ciudad de Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Dear your work is impressive, from Argentina I look at your work and I am impressed by the skill you have. Now, I should pay more attention. is the second video since I see your work and you make the same mistake, h1 is white not black. Can you imagine that from Argentina you can order a board and do not know if the paintings will come as they correspond? more attention at work. However, it does not take away the excellentness of your work. Congratulations
Best board I have seen made in terms of craftsmanship. Love the colors. One major issue. The board cannot be played on. In chess, the white pieces are placed starting on the A1 square and the white queen would end up on the white square.

Royce Nestor Thank you!
I’m sure it’s been mentioned before by now, the lettering is incorrect. Beautiful board.
Very nice. I like the results of the "new" V-Bit CNC, esp. the right angled corners.
norm1124 I like it too.

Все круто! Нет слов просто! Мастерски и производство и съемка и монтаж. Очень хочется такую ВЕЩЬ!
As far as technique and execution, this is art. Simply wonderful.
I think the colors are inverted. The corners H1 and A8 are supposed to be white, while A1 and H8 are black.
Jon Lapham Right. It is my mistake.
Nothing for the OCD people :) I like it anyway. As Bob Ross stated once, we don't make mistakes, just happy accidents.
CTB Videos Thanks! Nevertheless it will be good for cutting.
Sure, and it's definitely an eyecatcher.
mtmwood I think there might be a minimal-effort fix here (if you still have the board).

What an artisan. Dedicated and remarkable.
D 1 is the white Queens starting Position... and this field has to be white...
Beautiful board with a terrible mistake.
I didnt even notice that but you are right!

Torben Harms-Don't understand???
@Santo White's queen goes on its own color which means white's H1 square is supposed to be light. The carpenter wasn't paying attention made White's H1 be dark instead of light. A beautiful board marred by a simple mistake. :-/
A professional carpenter but it seems he didn't play chess ever before..
Very nice board, just one issue, the bottom right corner is suppose to be white; that way the white queen starts on her color.
+Ronald Easley Zomg hes right ! guess start over !!!!
Maybe that´s why he decided to show it and probably sell it as a cutting board and not as a chessboard. Even the most talented persons can make silly mistakes. Still, that´s a beautiful... "cutting board".
well, no matter how talented you are, even a lot of chess players don't pay attention to that detail :p i've seen a lot of chess games with the wrong pattern...
You just have to flip the board
If you turn the board then the grid coordinates will not match up.
It’s a great job and the error can easily be rectified. I’m sure he’s expert enough to fix that!
Watching you work is just amazing. I cant wait to get my cutting board
Красотень) Твои работы вдохновляют создавать что-то качественное!

A1 should be black, according to a standard configuration!
That cnc machine is the most satisfying thing I’ve seen in my life
Fabulous the machine that makes the letters. Awesome work.

Wow what an incredible board! Is there a tutorial on how to cut the notation out with the CNC software?
I thought that this was a fascinating video. I love your tecnique.

Just make sure if you are making a chess board you don't make it with the pattern in reverse order like he did
I'll keep that in mind.
BRAVO! Amazing what you can make when you have the right tools. My pappy always said you can’t have to many tools! AMEN
Mistake made with numbers, but beautiful work. Always nice to see an artist or craftsman in work?

This board is beautiful.
Oh the joys of a CNC machine & far too many clamps. Edit: We all know we can never have too many clamps. Nicely done!
All I can say is "Wow" and Great job
Beautiful heavy chess board but the A1 is always black. Use now the DGT e-Board USB Rosewood. Would like to have a DGT Walnut Chess board but it’s very rare. Had a lot of wooden Chess boards but have not the space for it. Great video to see how it’s made.
Probably the most beautiful chessboard I've seen.. Just gorgeus! :)
i agree, An art board chess.
Beautiful work I love watching your videos. I never even heard of a end grain cutting board before I started watching. Keep it up.
I hate to say this because it's so beautiful... The letters need to be where the numbers are and the entire board rotated 90 degrees in either direction.. When setting up pieces, the rule is: white on right, queen on her color. This means that when facing your side of the board, the square at the furthest right on the row closest to you is supposed to be white. This board can be played correctly or called correctly but not both.
Спасибо друга за то, что меня так проникновенно моменты уважение и восхищение их работой. Вы великолепны.
João Dias da Costa Спасибо за внимание к моей работе!
It’s gorgeous…🥰 I would love one of these… maybe just with smaller letters and numbers.❤️
Compliments !! Beautiful job.. Only one thing the corner A1 needs to be black.... Anyway a good job !!! :))
Very nice chessboard but shouldn't the black square be on left side first line, I could be wrong
Sencillamente una obra de arte.... Saludos desde Costa Rica.
Woodworking at its best. GREAT job.
The letters in chess are misplaced while playing chess light square (light side) always comes to players right side hence A B C D starts from black and end at H at black Here A is starting from dark square instead of white light square which is incorrect else a nice video
so A1 should be a dark square
Also the ranks are numbered from white's position, so white's queen is on d1 and black's queen is on d8. I realize this years ago but hope it was easily rectified.
You do such amazing work.

Those inlays are slick.
Pity he got them wrong
Mesmerizing when the letters and numbers get made
What a sharp looking board!!!
Is that a mineral oil bath you soak it in? What does it do for the board?
Cole Skaggs Yes. It is finishing.
mtmwood That's thought, if this isn't being used for food, why not a polyurethane or other finish besides the mineral oil bath?
The customer is going to use it as cutting board. Varnish is better than mineral oil, more durable, but it is not fully food safe. I use varnish for other projects - ruclips.net/video/uHteRLX2-00/видео.html

Very nice result - Can I ask why you didn't make the squares from one strip of wood each?
Steve SteveS The side of the square is 50 mm. I need 52 mm in the working process. I can't get this thickness even of 2" lumber, only 48-49 mm.
te felicito amigo exelentre trabajo con el tablero de ajedrez gracias por compartir
Very well done as always! What would be your approach to an end-grain Go-board? Thank you for sharing!
JM Tosses It is not easy to make, but us is possible. The method will be same as Brick wall - ruclips.net/video/nQg6pgeedfg/видео.html
Man you've got some great tools
the right corner should be white, right? or the king and queen would be confusing ok?.
This is a cutting board. What king do you see on the cutting board?
art , awesome but there is mistake unfortunately numbers and letters are on the wrong side
