If I played With those knights, I would resign immediately if my knight is taken.

[@thatsrightjack2139]

The fact that this gentleman has all of his fingers is a testament to his skill level!

[@dipakdhabuwala9903]

His fingers grow back naturally.

[@redblade8160]

Thatsright Jack. If you're careful, then there is no reason why you should lose any of your fingers. Only idiots like you would lose fingers on power tools.

[@powernab8457]

Brilliant comment 😂😂😂 "has all of his fingers is a testament to his skill level!"

[@johnshaposka3294]

This is why I never even tried to make a chess set; anybody can make a pawn, etc. But the knight is something that simple copying from a template CAN NOT produce - it takes an artist! I salute the beauty of his work and I even admire the simple equipment he uses to produce these beautiful pieces!

[@chesscreation]

Many thanks Sir, for your appreciation for our work. Best regards

[@danceswithstone]

John Shaposka, While I agree this man's work is beautiful and he is indeed a talented artist, that is no reason for you not to try!

[@chesscreation]

Many thanks Sir

Pushes wood against sanding wheel for a few seconds; gets out a "rough" horse shape that's better than I can do in an hour of whittling. What a talent!

[@greenatom]

The workmanship is beautiful. I also like seeing the old vintage machines still being put to good use.

[@AncientChess]

Very impressive! I have handled many wooden chess sets, but I did not truly appreciate the amazing care and artistry that goes into making each piece of these elaborate sets. Great work!

[@johnwallace3817]

I bought one of your chess sets six months ago. Absolutely spectacular! Glad to get to see how it was made. It was expensive but well worth the price.

[@hanyelrouby8596]

How much it cost you?

[@redblade8160]

@@hanyelrouby8596 Each pawn cost £1000 The King and Queen are £2000 each Bishops are £1500 a piece Knight cost £3000 a piece Rook cost £1800 a piece John Wallace had to sell his family into slavery in order to buy the whole chess set. But it was worth it.

Your skill and dedication to such fine work is very inspiring. As a professional woodworker for over 40 years I thank you for sharing what you do in this short video. It is inspirational and I hope that it expanded your customer base in other parts of the world.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

Mr. Saggu’s 90’s Kasparov championship Chavet in distressed boxwood is the beloved relic in my humble dwelling. The hand signed certificate of authenticity is a charming touch.

[@iantheorem]

Your chess pieces are far superior in material, design, overall shape and style than any others I have seen on the market. I bet they have a great feel and weight to them. Kudos to you all

Amazing skill--I've always wondered how this carving was done. Thank you!

[@AlSuChess]

I used to do woodcraft with a dremel, but to this is different, to craft these pieces in exactly the same way requires a great deal of skill and patience.

You look like a tough boss, but man that is top notch quality work. Thanks for sharing.

[@pabloopazo7004]

Fantastic job. The video is very educational. The knight making impressed me.

[@johntherriault9687]

You are certainly a modern Michelangelo of the chess creation craft. The fact that each piece is created with human contact and not a CNC machine surely will resonate from the piece to your hand. However, I think my game will suffer as my main focus will be on the beauty of the pieces. While in Spain many years ago I bought a set (wooden, as they should be in my opinion) and thought it was nice - after watching your video I think that set might become firewood after I find and get one of yours! No, I’d better reconsider that firewood thing as I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable actually playing with your set, let alone allowing someone else to handle it. Absolutely fantastic work!!

[@joaocaldas6848]

I recently bought the chess pieces you made on the Queen of Chess website. I would like to congratulate you for the beautiful work. I live in Brazil, in the State of Bahia, in the city of Salvador. I wish everyone success. A big hug.

[@Pijus67]

Basic tools and good hands. All you need when you are an artist.

[@muddy250]

Beautiful workmanship. Great to see someone else using calipers on a live piece to set the diameter. Exactly how I work with a lathe. Interested to know how you check the scraper profiles after sharpening. Does each sharpening produce a slight variation in sets I wonder so you make sure to sharpen only between sets?

[@pajodato5339]

I got the Arthurian Luxury chess set from Mandeep Singh Saggu as a gift for my father-in-law new house party. He himself built an great wood chessboard several years ago. The intrincate artwork of these asian pieces is exquisite. A incredible gift to an able wood worker to say the least!
