Folding Chess Board with a 3-Color Epoxy Logo

- In this video, I make a folding chess board out of walnut and sycamore and with a three-color epoxy logo of the New York Islanders. The squares are 2.5" (63.5 mm) to give a playing area of 20" x 20" (508 mm x 508 mm) and the frame is 2" (51 mm) to give an overall size of 24" x 24" (610 mm x 610 mm). The board is 1" thick (2.5 cm). The frame includes a 1/4" (6 mm) ebony border and curly maple edge banding around the perimeter. The frame also has concealed magnets to keep the two halves together when the board is folded.
The board is finished with TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy that I sanded using 320-grit, 400-grit, 600-grit, 800-grit, 1000-grit, and 1500-grit sandpaper, and then I proceeded to buff it to a high gloss with the VEVOR car polisher buffer using Meguiar's Ultimate Polish. Links to those products can be found below.

Whoa.....that board deserves a .....WOW!
Played chess for over 50 years, love to see these boards, i cant afford your services but would love to see a, 4 section chess board with the magnet idea and minimal if any surround, very compact with a bag of pieces, ideal for a ruck sack on the train to the chess tournament!!!!! Great work
It never gets old.
Excellent job as always. I admire your passion in explaining step-by-step the process. Thank for sharing.
Another beautiful board, Mike. Either you're receiving suitable pay for a board such as this or it's just a labor of love. Either way, beautiful work. Love your video style.
Well, it covers the cost of tools and electricity, but I enjoy making these, especially when the client challenges me to do something that I've not tried before. That's what pushes me to learn new things.
Wow! Beautiful. I was surprised how easily the logo split in half by scoring the epoxy. I would have thought you needed a piece of paper between the two halves of the board in order for the epoxy to release without chipping or cracking.
I wasn't sure how well the two halves were going to come apart, but it wasn't too hard at all. It definitely helped to have painters tape to separate the two halves before applying the epoxy.
A gift for a lifetime!
I accept, of course.
Such beautiful and clean work!! Nicely done!
That sycamore looks great.
Nice to have you again Mike
That is beautiful work!
More of this. Although, I've watched you from the beginning and liked whatever it was.
Magnifique travail !!!! je suis jaloux 😤Mais de toute façon, je ne sais pas jouer aux échecs 😝 Très belle musique reposante et qui accompagne bien la création de ce superbe objet !!

Great job no question about that. I don't like that logo tho. How much does such a board cost, please?
Awesome! I love watching you create. How much or can I contact you on price, or how can I contact you?
Thanks for your comment. You can contact me at woodumakeit@gmail.com
Sir how much is that chessboard
As always, beautiful job, please, next time when you do glue, remove the board you dont know how i was worry about glue drop on the boards, sorry my english not good but i try
I understood perfectly! And, yes, I noticed that too when I was editing the video. 🙂
What cnc system do you use?
It's a Laguna IQ that I have (24" x 36")
would you mind sharing the model? Am just looking into them and am always impressed with yours throughout your work!@@Woodumakeit
@@user-in1lv7lt2n I believe Laguna has changed their models since I purchased mine. Mine is a Laguna IQ, but if you look on their website now, I believe the one that I have is more or less equivalent to what they now call their Creator Pro Desktop CNC router.
