Making a Wood Epoxy Chess Board

[@TheC130navigator]

Man, great video. It’s actually the best video I’ve seen on how to make a wooden/resin chess set. Really reassuring and calm. I’m gonna try this shit. Don’t have all table saw though damn it

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

Thanks brother! You should definitely try it out, nothing more rewarding than building something with your own hands 👍. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

The nice thing about this method is that the table saw is not all that necessary. Get it reasonably square by any tool that you have and I think that the epoxy will hide most, if not all, of the imperfections. Go for it!

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

Yes it is definitely easier and much more builder friendly construction design. Plus without a CNC or taking weeks to hand plane and perfect each square! Thank you for watching

[@TheC130navigator]

@@scotchinhandmillwork on a side note, you mentioned in a different video that you were going through some right times. Keep your head up and keep doing your thing brotha

Beautiful board.

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

Thanks! So many options to personalize them too

[@plthwaites]

Great Video!! I had planned to make a chessboard this year and this is the absolutely best way I have seen how to make it with wood and epoxy. Thanks much for this one.

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it! I’m toying with some other designs that I’ll try out in the coming weeks 👍

Thanks! I love making these…super fun

[@johnjasonlucas7547]

Where did you get the chess pieces?

[@myRefuge3710]

Would be nice with a chamfered edge to show off the epoxy more

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

That’s a good idea, I’ll try it on the next experimental board

[@erikkessler2199]

I like your process compared to others I've seen. Did you get much leakage from the pour or did the glue stop that?

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

No all the glue stops that. I also added a step where I shellac the squares getting epoxy. This helps stop color seepage in the end grain especially for the wood squares.

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Looks nice man, great video and love commentary. So I assume the tiger beat you?

[@scotchinhandmillwork]

Thanks for watching! Hah and yeah he won. Surprised anyone watched to the end! 👍
