Wooden Chess Piece Box | Ebony, Boxwood, & Walnut
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 04. 2020
- In this video I make a box for chess pieces that I made from ebony and boxwood. To match the chess pieces, this box is made from ebony and boxwood for the two ends and walnut for the remaining two sides and top and bottom.
Inside the box, I made wooden inserts to hold the chess pieces. The inserts are made from maple (for the boxwood pieces) and walnut (for the ebony pieces). The inserts are attached to the sides of the box using spring loaded pin hinges to allow the inserts to tilt backwards.
The holes that I drilled into the inserts to hold each chess piece are flocked to make it comfortable for the pieces while they rest in the box. 😂
Here's a link to the video on how I made the chess pieces: • Making ebony and boxwo...
Here’s a link to the video where I made the client’s chess board: • End Grain Chess Board ...
With everything completed, I’ll package it all up and send it to the client in Austria.

Simply beautiful, Great craftmanship looking forward to your next video!!
Your work always amazes me. Absolutely beautiful.
This is absolutely stunning! Such an impeccable work
Undoubtedly you're a great master designer and skilled mistiri.
Wonderfully done! Such a piece of art.
Hello Mike, excellent work. Being a verneer box maker as a hobby here in the UK, I recently used , ebony, walnut, and boxwood strings in my latest project. Love your ways of working, and the box is stunning. Kind regards Danny uk 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸🙂👌
Thank you so much!
Wow!. Great work and execution.
Really Really Nice! You took the time and effort to do it right- Hats Off To You
Happy to see you upload! I hope you're staying safe Mike!
Thanks! Yep, staying healthy by remaining in my home office or in my workshop pretty much all the time. I hope to have more uploads soon. I've completed many projects, but haven't found the time to edit the videos.
Excellent work and beautiful results -- as always. Thanks!
Thanks, Jerry!
Excellent video and excellent product. You've got skills! Amazed once again :)

Great narration!
Absolutely beautiful!
masterpiece indeed
Gorgeous ! ❤️👍🏼
Beautiful work
Perfect job!
Beautiful!
Outstanding!
Very Beautiful and Creative
I think this video is going to be very helpful, I’m planning on making several chess boards that are the lid to their own piece box. So basically this but the chess boards on top of the box lid. This video gave me several good ideas.
Who gave this a thumbs down? This was a great video and a very nice piece. Well done!
I can do a lot of things, and I can do them very well. But I am sure that I could never do something like this supreme artcraft (or should I say just "art"?) It´s absolutely AMAZING! Greetings from México, Master.
Thanks
I can’t make this up. I was watching you cut something and I blew on my phone to clear the dust off your bandsaw... it’s been a long day
ONLY IF I had a master like u with me! ~ BEAUIFUL sir! Absolutely beautifully!
Very nice! Are you using buxus or castello boxwood?
Really beautiful. There’s no chance I could make that.
But wood you
Wow!
I would make it if I could but I can't make it so I won't. Beautiful work I love it.
Your videos always end with me saying "Hell Yeah!" Nice job, but the music?
I would buy it!
Very nice, would be cool with a chess board on the lid
wow! really interesting piece of wood artwork! absolutely stunning. I'll have to make mine out of pine because there is not way I'm taking a 2nd mortgage on my house to afford that much Walnut and Ebony haha!
Very nice, piece of art.
The music while pleasant enough was too loud
That sweater though
nice box...guessing kind of heavy though
Hello Mike, I love your skillful work. I am wondering if you could let me know from where you source the boxwood that you often use. I have searched for it and cannot find a supplier. I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
I've been purchasing my boxwood from Exotic Lumber in Annapolis, MD. www.exoticlumber.com They have lots of turning blanks as well as other larger pieces.
Sorry for the delay in replying back to you with thanks. That helps a lot. I'll contact them.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Can I ask you why did you make the extra queen?
The client requested it. Some chess sets come with an extra queen to use when a pawn gets promoted.
@@Woodumakeit THANKS! I didn't know about the extra queen in some sets.
@@daviddeangelo1330 I looked through the comments until I found yours because I had the same question. So now I know. 🤓
beautiful. i wish my bandsaw cut a straight line like that. I have the laguna bx12 newer version, only allows for up to a 3/4" blade for resaw, is yuors a 1" ?
Yes, it's a 1" Resaw King blade that I have in mine.
@@Woodumakeit cool, and which version of the laguna bandsaw is that?
Man, that is beautiful. Please give me details if you have a website or email I can contact you about your creations.
If I wood make it, then I would make the pieces look more like regular ones.
Can you recall what the final dimensions of this box were?
I made the chess board with the tiger maple frame. Looking to make the boxes now
Thank you for all the good information.
I have this box drawn up in SketchUp and could send you the file if you'd like. I drew it up to figure out how to position the holders inside the box. It's not exactly as built, but fairly close. Just email me at woodumakeit@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.
You're awesome!
Really nice work. Beautiful. But i could'nt help but notice that your square is out of square. Those two lines at your router table taper in towards eachother. But keep up the good work
Interesting observation. I''ll definitely check, but I wonder if it might just be parallax caused by the angle and camera lens.
@@Woodumakeit
That's a possibility too offcourse. And lets hope that it's just that. But still a beautiful build. Keep it up, i enjoy your channel
👍👍
Are you selling these?
How will cost one of these?
Hello Mike, I sent you an email yesterday asking about the making of this box for my high-end chess sets. Could you send me a reply? I know you're quite busy with orders which one of mine is included but I'd like to have a few of these boxes to house my prized Collection sets as I've sent you photos of a few of them. These boxes would make fabulous coffers for them. Thanks, Mike, hoping to hear from you soon...all the best...George from NYC.
Are you selling your any of these items ?
You resaw effortlessly! I cringe every time I have a project resawing on any tool.
Keep in mind that I typically have the video sped up, so it looks easier than it is in real life. Sometimes my 1 hp bandsaw is a little under-powered.
Wood U Make It: I heard it bogg just a bit and it made me smile, I hear the same thing in my shop- Nice to see some of us are meer mortals, and down own the top of the line stuff- no hard feelings for those who do, it just nice to see another human periodically .
I used to cringe as well and practically just gave up on re-sawing until I purchased a new 1/2” in blade from sawblade. com, then my life changed.
Can I ask where you got a log of ebony?
A coworker bought it about twenty years ago and just had it in storage. He asked me several times to buy it but I had no idea how I'd use it. When my client asked me to make a set of chess pieces and a box to hold them, that gave me the excuse to buy it. I was fortunate to get it for as really good price.
Nice work. Why round the corners of the lid and not the box?
I meant to mention in the video that I used box joints with alternating colors to represent the squares in a chess board (but forgot), so rounding the corners wouldn't have worked. I rounded the corners of the top to expose the corners of the box, but it probably wasn't the right choice. But I didn't like them square either....
@@Woodumakeit I noticed the color treatments. I would've done something similar. Agreed re: the lid corners as well. Perhaps just a smaller radius would've been better? Oh well, it is what it is. Still a beautiful piece.
Great. Can I suggest you lower the volume of the 'background' music. Thanks.
Or you can turn your volume down
@@daveklein2826 If I do that I can't hear the voice; it's the background music that doesn't match the overall (volume) expereince for me.
Only thing I don’t like is the round corners on the lid. Everything else is just gorgeous
Yeah, I was unsure about that. I did it to reveal the corners of the box joints, but it might not have been the right choice. After doing that, I thought about rounding the corners of the box joints, but I wanted to keep them looking like chess board squares.
you're very nice and relaxing
Cómo puse en el vídeo anterior son muy bonitas las piezas pero no sirven para jugar
did you photoshop your sweater on ?
Just wanted to get your attention. 😂
А где доска? Это переносные шахматы? Надо еще чемодан сделать для переноски комплекта.
Это доска, которую я сделал для него. czcams.com/video/pVvoK840mwQ/video.html
very good chess boards. Suggestion: I think it would be better if the videos were shorter☺☺☺☺†††
Yes, some of them are pretty long. I'm just never sure which parts to cut without losing too much value for the how-to part. I suppose you could watch the videos at a 1.25 or 1.5 playback speed to make them go a little faster.
LMAO
Hello Mike, great job but I'm really worried about your hands:
they are too close to the circular saw which has no protection
18:30 Tip: What you're doing there is super dangerous; especially with a bit of that size. Next time, try either clamping your small piece to a larger piece, or if there isn't enough material for a clamp, use a bench vise and a finish router. The time it takes to think it through is cheaper than the emergency room visit!
-Cheers
Lose the music or turn it down.
Happy to see you upload! I hope you're staying safe Mike!
Thanks! I've been slow to upload but with any luck I'll release a new video next week.
