When a friend of mine approached me about making this for him, he was actually asking me "How would you make this chess board?" What would make it a unique chess board? How would you think through it? How would you integrate epoxy into it? This video is my answer. This video shows how I made this epoxy chess board.
The three main materials are walnut, maple and epoxy. It was incredibly fun making this. Sit back, relax and enjoy the video.

Nice work - looks great :) Question though about wood movement. Most people who put frames around the chessboards need to leave a gap to allow for movement of the squares. You a recess but it's filled with resin. Will there be any issue with the board warping or even cracking over time? Some people use thin strips and glue it to plywood for stability but yours are thick pieces which will almost certainly move a little. Since this video was from over a year ago have you observed any issues yet? Asking because I'm wanting to make one myself and I hate the idea of having a gap between the squares and frame.

As all who have seen your video...very impressive...vary beautiful. A question about the epoxy: It appears you used the "Pearl" epoxy for all grooves, yet those around the squares appear dark while the boarder is pearlescent. Are those around the playing squares picking up the color from the walnut and it's just a difference in width of the "troughs?"
@BrokenThornDesigns
@BrokenThornDesigns 2 жыл бұрын
Good eye! I think it's the size of the "troughs" that is making the color difference. The pearl pigment that I used is granular and needs light to bring out the pearlescence. Those troughs seem to block the light. I've thought about using a liquid dye to mitigate some of the color variance, but I would probably lose some of the pearlescence without the powdered pigment. Thanks for commenting and asking about this.

I am making one right now using Wenge and some nice figured Maple, it's looking great so far and I appreciate the amount of work that you put into yours. I think after all that work I might be a little reluctant to route out those handles (I'd be afraid the router would slip and ruin my masterpiece) do you think those handles were necessary especially after beveling the bottom outer edge like you did? also what did you use at the end for a finish, was that just a finishing wax (that you buffed out)? great job by the way, one of the best looking chessboards I've seen so far on the tube!
@BrokenThornDesigns
@BrokenThornDesigns 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the routed handles were a high risk. If I were to do it again, I would use my Pantorouter with a diy template to route them out, it is much safer from catastrophic slipping. So if I were you I would take that (router mishaps) into account. I used Rubio Monocoat pure for the finish. It's a food safe hard wax/oil combo. I love it. It's similar to Odie's oil or Osmo. I hope your chessboard turns out well, send me a link if you make a video or take pix. I would love to see it. Thanks for commenting!

I would have found a way to dado in an Led strip that projects from underneath to the epoxy strips. Always handy to have a plunge/hand router in the shop if not a router table. I also don't know why people keep going straight from an orbital to their finish coat. All to often an orbital sander will leave micro swirls that can show up unless sanded out by hand using a sanding block.

Can you please tell me, have you checked how maple wood works with walnut in terms of thermal expansion coefficients? What is the risk that these types of wood are not friendly with each other, resulting in cracking, swelling, or splitting? Also, what if I wanted to make the board wood-block end to top to make the wood structure more fancy - would gluing them be any different?
@BrokenThornDesigns
@BrokenThornDesigns 2 жыл бұрын
Ah... wood movement and expansion: Jonathan Katz-Moses (search him on KZbin) has a video on wood movement from both heat and humidity. He also has printable resources that can actually predict wood movement. It's a great resource for what you are inquiring about. As far as maple and walnut being glued up in tandem, woodworkers make cutting boards with this combination all the time without issues. When I made this board, I made it edge grain on top. I'm not sure what you mean by "wood-block end to top", but if you mean end-grain showing on top, than yes, that would be a very viable option. Gluing would be no different, you would just need to keep the end-grain oriented the way that is most desirable to you. Hope that helps, good luck.

The incentive to do quality work, like that is not powered by money, alone, to think so is missing the heart of the matter, and speaks more to the superficial nature of the critique

I could have made it thinner, but the look and feel that I was going for was a big, beefy chess board.

B3 square is really getting to me, what's wrong with it ? E6 too.
@BrokenThornDesigns
@BrokenThornDesigns 2 жыл бұрын
I really enjoyed this comment! Depending on what orientation the board is in, I think I know B3 and E6... at least I think I do. Those maple pieces were thinner than the walnut so I had to glue 2 pieces together to get the thickness of the squares. On some, the 2 boards had vastly different wood characteristics. That is what you are seeing there. Also, I filled a void with epoxy. Thanks for commenting!

I understand the frustration of not having bigger tools to make stuff, that's how I started out. You might be able to find someone local that has a drum sander that could help you. Maybe find a local woodworkers' group on Facebook. Just a suggestion, I hope it helps. Thanks for commenting.
