Chess Board With Drawers - DIY WoodWorking .

I made a custom chess board using pine bearers - offcuts etc .
All the cuts / mitres had to be clean & accurate , to allow for a clean finish.
I used a quality spray gloss varnish to complete the project which complimented the cedar stain & pine finish.

That has got to be the best chess board build ever! Talk about just keeping it simple but maintaining that elegant look at the same time.
Great job thanks for sharing

Very nice. I don't play chess, but the construction of the box and drawers has given me some inspiration.

The thing that got me into woodworking was my desire to build a chess board, and I started off with the same exact tools. So many content creators act like (or outright say) you can't possibly make anything decent without the best tools/materials. You had a goal, set out to do it and worked with what you had and you made a piece that easily rivals others made with far more expensive tools/materials. I respect the fact that you didn't let your tools or available materials limit your imagination. A true craftsman. Seriously, great job, it's a piece that will surely be appreciated for generations :)

Wonderful work congratulations, I have already made several boards using sheets of wood and I learned in practice that it becomes more interesting when we place the wood veins in the same position, that is, all 64 squares vertically, on your board you have the white ones vertically and the dark ones horizontally. A big hug from Brazil.

I’ve watched many chess board builds over the years and only now came across yours. Easily the best. And the main reason, aside from your craftsmanship? The quality of the product from construction pine! Just about every woodworking magazine, youtube video, tv show, etc. pushes the narrative that we must use expensive or exotic hardwoods. Nonsense! You could teach them all a valuable lesson. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Lovely looking checkers board & drawer, I am very impressed with your skills 🔨🪚🛠

This is a beautifully designed and crafted piece. I just watched a similar project from a regular far eastern woodworking site poster, and though their ideas and designs are excellent, there is no comparison in the finished project.They don't finish any of their projects, and all the joints and nail holes are clearly visible, whereas yours are not, producing a far more asthetically pleasing and professional result. The contrasting splines and corner drawer supports are a wonderful extra touch, as are the way you've matched the grains on the squares. You also use far better quality wood, and I'd rather pay that bit extra than look at one of their projects and be continually disappointed with the 2nd rate finish. EXCELLENT!

Thank you for not having some obnoxious music playing in the background. I don't think it's needed with this type of video. I love the sound of your tools much better. Sometimes, I have to mute the sound with some videos. The music they play is so distracting n puts me off. Love the end result. It's lovely. 👍👍

Amazing job! Jedna z najpiękniejszych szachownic, jakie widziałem. Jestem fanem szachów. W prostocie jest moc i udowodniłeś to tym filmem. Uwielbiam pracę w drewnie, jego duszę, zapach, piękno i możliwości. Dziękuję Ci za ten film. Życzę jak najwięcej wspaniałych prac i odbiorców!

[ToxicDover]

Looks great! Was awesome watching the process

[juantanamera]

Amazing board, you make it look so simple. Those splines are a cracking idea, I'd never have thought of that. Just subscribed.

[samirhuseinovich]

Beautiful, elegant and functional. Congratulations!

Waly Trim thank you amazing quality chess board.

[amorpilo]

Great chess board but in the final shots the pieces are placed incorrectly.

Esta muy bien hecho y muy bonito de mirar. Ahora mismo estoy haciendo mi segundo tablero de ajedrez. El primero hace años que lo hice con sus piezas, pero ahora se me hace más difícil porque ya tengo 86 años y no veo muy bien. De todos modos espero terminarlo en un par de meses pero a veces me entra la duda y no se si lo lograre. Gracias por tu excelente tutorial. Saludos de artesano a artesano.
