Chess Table | Padauk and Curly Maple
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 05. 2024
- In this video, I make a chess table made from padauk and curly maple. The chess table is 30" x 30" x 30" high. The squares are 2 3/8" and they have a 1/8" brass border around the playing field. The client's surname is Aldridge which is engraved with gold leaf on the frame. The table has the letter "A" for the feet that are 4" high. The legs (without the feet) are approximately 24.75" long and I tapered them using a jointer, which is a pretty cool way to get precise and repeatable tapers. The chess board and the frame around the table top is 1 1/4" thick. The chess board is removable to make it easy to play elsewhere. When inset in the table, the frame around the chess board and the frame around the table leaves approximately 5 1/2" for a clock, notepad, and pieces that are out of play. There is a drawer on each player side. The drawer boxes are assembled with box joints that have alternating colors of red (padauk) and white (ash) to simulate chess squares. Each drawer has a different colored drawer pull (maple and wenge). The chess board frame has algebraic notation in upper case that is inlaid with maple.
I've had great success using Starbond's CA glues and that's what I used to adhere the brass border to the frame. Get the Freshest CA glues in the market at Starbond by clicking here: www.starbond.com/?rfsn=249403...

Thank you for watching this video. It's a long one! It took me almost as long to put the video together as it did to build the table. I've added chapters to the video so you can click around and watch the parts that are most interesting to you. You can click on the chapters in the description or you can mouse over the timeline. There's definitely a lot of interesting content, so watch the whole thing if time permits. Please like and subscribe if you haven't already done so. Thanks! **** I forgot to add in the voice over that you should always use a blade guard when using a jointer. I removed the blade guard for this video only so you could see how the tapering worked, but I would never do that in normal practice. ****
I loved the table and just the overall process. I just love chess and this was a wonderful build!
Questo tavolo con scacchiera è spettacolare! Vorrei averne uno uguale!!!
Love your chess boards. They are truly amazing. They will become true heirlooms to be passed down. I was wondering what roller you are using to spread your glue? To me it looks like a regular nap small paint roller.
Bellissimo! Meraviglioso! Fra tutti il Suo lavoro è il più bello in assoluto! Mi piacerebbe acquistarlo!
Absolutely beautiful. I think the "A" feet are a terrible design choice by the client (would have looked much smarter with the spherical chess-ball feet or something similar), but that's hardly the woodworker's fault. Incredible work as usual.
Yeah, bad look, and it's just obnoxious. I can't even imagine needing to focus *a chess board* that much onto myself.
I've lost count of how many times i've watched you make a chess board but i enjoy it every time still haha. Thanks for the upload! It's very satisfying to watch your craftsmanship unfold into a beautiful end result
He did not make a chess board you clown, it is a table? Jesus H Christ !
I love these full length videos. So much detail and full of tips. Thank you.
This is absolutely beautiful! I’m saving this to watch in detail later. Fantastic work!
Great table should last for years. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the beauty and long-lasting nature of your work. You’ve explained everything so well to a layman such as myself
Absolutely amazing work! I also appreciate the soft music that accompanies the video.
This is way awesome so thanks Bill, I have played drums for 56 years and you are one of my favorite drummers indeed, thanks for all the talent you shared to us. Glad you are still active its something great to look forward to seeing, thanks again.
I have just found your channel in the last week or two, and I have to say I love watching you work. I have been gearing up to make my own chessboard, and your videos and projects will help me tremendously I think. You are an exceptional woodworker and I applaud your work. Keep it up and I'll have to keep watching!
I am very impressed by the projects that people with manual skills and the high-quality processing machines can produce. This chess table is truly a masterpiece. I'll have to improve myself tremendously to reach this level! The gilding with gold leaf was particularly successful. Compliment!
You provide perfection by the barrel full in this project!! Absolutely beautiful and one that your client will hand down generation to generation with pride. God bless and a Happy New Year.
Fantastic art work !!
Such a privilege to watch this. Thank you Sir!
I really enjoyed this - a really nice project and well produced clip - super professional look. I imagine making several at the same time would be time well spent. Beautiful wood.
Beautiful. I am blown away by every project you take up.
This is outstanding craftsmanship! Very well done. The tapering on the joiner was clever, never seen that before. Thanks for the awesome video ad well!
Excellent work and music selection, thanks!
Wow that curly maple is beautiful! Nicely done, as always.
Thanks for sharing yet another wonderful and detailed work.
Beautiful 😍
I love how the grain of the padauk looks.
Beautiful! A true art work.👏👏👏👏
absolutely beautiful, a real craftsmen
I found your video so relaxing, thanks for your talent.
Absolutely spectacular!
You are a true craftsman! I learned a lot from watching this video!!
So much talent. I wish I had been brought up apprenticed to a craftsman. Chess is magical.
Checkmate !!! Absolutely beautiful !!!
Just when I thought it couldn't get better! Wow, stunning work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Richard!
Very nice! Wish I could have one someday.
Very nice work Sir!
That is truly beautiful Mike.
Absolutely stunning.
So professionally done…… Wow!
Really beautiful piece..great work and I really like the music. 👍
I’m happy to see this kind of project the way how it is created truly a masterpiece that everyone must to see
So beautiful, that padauk wood is gorgeous 😍
Damn dude. You are an artist. Absolutely incredible.... You make it look so easy because you are a master. You must have worked hard to become as good as you are because I feel like you can literally built anything and make it look beautiful
Beautiful! Both the table/board, as well as the video.
The A’s at the bottom of the legs look really funny, and cheapens the piece. Beautiful craftsmanship on the table.
Third time watching this already!
Just can't thank you enough Mike for making the most relaxing, informative, educational, inspirational, creative, chilled out and non- offensive videos out there!
They help massively in times of stress, as well as lovely to watch in good times.
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Stuart. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
That is superb work. Beautiful piece.
Beautiful! I love how the maple turned out after finishing the board.
And yes, I did make two. One is folding and with storage.
Man, you are absolutely amazing Mike!
WOW.That is all I can say! I am speechless. Everything is done to perfection. First time ever watching woodworking project like this.😲
AWESOME, what else. This is a masterpiece and you an artist. Bravissimo
Micky, from Italy
what an amazing product again
This is so nice. I've seen some makings of end board chess tables, and they are just georgious, but seems to be much more work to make.
As a happy amateur chess player I'd be happy to own this one, it's just plain and beautiful 💖
Absolutely beautiful. a Pisces of art
Excellent video, excellent craftsmanship excellent background music. I watch this 2 Am when I was unable to sleep and I was very much satisfying. I can’t play chess but I have just order the wood to replicate this piece for my sitting room. Thank you for uploading
Beautiful work of art. Congratulations.
Beautiful work, beautiful chessboard and beautiful wood.
Nothing touch me more than a game about saving your king ;)
Stunning work. You are truly a Chess Board Grand Master! Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Jerry. Always good to hear from you. 🙂
WOW. Beautiful work.
Very Beautiful! Good Job! Thank You for this Video, God Bless You!
This is truly awesome!
That is a work of art!
I feel you have outdone yourself, Mike! This is an incredible work of art.
Thanks, Herb! I hope my subsequent videos won't be a letdown. At least they'll be shorter. 🙂
@@Woodumakeit I hope they’re not too short! I watch your long builds while I work out on the elliptical. Makes the workout fly by 🤣
Una obra de arte. Felicitaciones!
Mike, I have to say that I am a massive fan of your work. I have recently made my very first hand made 'Staunton' chess pieces ... What I created was far beyond what I thought I could achieve with basic tools ... I took my inspiration from your truly professional work & craftsmanship ...
One day I hope to make my own chess board based on your brilliant designs ...
Many thanks ...
I really enjoy your videos and you have definitely showed me some solid ways of making a chess board but when you showed the cutting of a tapered leg on a joiner I think my jaw hit the floor. I have same 8 inch griz like you and would of never thought to tapper on a joiner. I really appreciate the walk through
excellent video.....and loved the music trickling in
Hi Mike, this is again a master-peace table, even better than the "board with drawers" you made previously. Great work bro, and I like the fact that you pay attention to the details (the drawers Knob for White & Black peace). A great job.
This is a real work of art, beautiful and precisely done. I am also a carpenter and I have one suggestion for you and that is metal sliders for drawers.
And it looks pretty good he says! Lol. Absolutely stunning!!
Love your work.
Stunning Mike absolutely stunning 😍
Perfect job.
Wow... Congratulations, you are a master
That was an hour well spent. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you so much!
What a great piece
Making something with passion is the secrete. congratulations fantastic
Amazing work
I’d love something like this! Wow! It’s stunning! 😮 once I have a house it certainly would fit quite nicely 😌
You are being far to modest when you said " I think it looks pretty good". It's easily one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture \ game tables I have ever seen. Watching you make this makes me want to make one just for the satisfaction of making something so beautiful.
Good lord you’re incredible
Beautiful!!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The A's on the bottom of the legs are a bit much, but, excellent craftsmanship, a work of ART!!!!
Beautiful mike
Awesome video and awesome chess table! You've just added a goal for me! I want to open a youth chess academy in the next 4-5 years, and when I do, I want to be able to build these for the kids to play on :)
Really looking wonderful 👏👏❣️❣️
You are real... a creative person
Muito lindo, parabéns. Que capricho.
Would I make it "NO"
Could I make it "NO"
Did I enjoy watching you make it "YOU BET"
Thanks for sharing
Fantastic!!!
Essa mesa é a top das galáxias!
Absolutly beautiful. Would love to be able to build furniture like that. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas
Gorgeous I have a very large chess set and I'm having trouble finding a nice table with big enough squares
Love your stuff, you make not only great videos and even better pieces. You may want to think about investing in a festool domino tool. I bought the small one for some light joinery but I would love to pick up the big boy for some of the furniture pieces I make that don't require mortis and tenon joinery or the customer doesn't want it. Worth the money and still just as strong.
That's probably a good idea, but I'll need to get permission from my wife. 😊
Just perfect...
This is my dream chess board :) Love from India
masterpieces 👑⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love your channel, I would like to learn how to work in this field.
BEST CHESS BOARD
Absolutely stunning! Question is, how much would you charge for a similar piece?
Like your channel
Great jobs
I learn a lot
Thanks
Love thise long videos
All that table/board needs is 2 little chairs with a medium back to it so it would have it's own niche in the house all it's own because work like that deserves it...And to answer your question: Oh No Way would I make it. I'd do the real smart thing and hire you to do it!! Fantastic workmanship!
Wow nice beautiful job
It is stunning !! Heck yes, I would make it ! May I borrow your shop? lol
