There was certainly some thick irony with that one. The actual idea still stands to some extent. You don't NEED fancy expensive tools but not having them limits your range in the type of builds that are even viable especially if you plan to make any money. It definitely is a point that you should only make right before you ACTUALLY show an audience a build that is completed using basic tools. Anything other than that and you risk offended or irritating some segment of your audience even bringing it up.

25 hrs? I'm struggling with this one. I've build many chess boards with complicated borders, and I think I average 4 hours per board. This one is a little different, but the cutting of the squares to make the 64 checker board pattern is two glue ups, one rip cut setup, and one cross cut setup at the table saw. Ripping the boards, 10 mins. x 2. Insuring great joints (jointer/planer), 10 mins. x 2. Glue up, 10 mins x 2. That should take you max 1-1.5hr to do this. My complicated borders take 1-2 hrs to mill the wood to thin .03/.06/.125 strips and glue them up to make striped borders cut at 45 at the edges and glue to the checker board pattern. I spend the rest of that 4 hrs. sanding and finishing. Are you including over night cure times for your glue ups? I leave all my glue ups over night but I don't include this in my labor cost because I'm not working physically working on the board.

He must have which is definitely questionable as far as ethics and basic business acumen go. The buyer was another Woodworking KZbinr though so it isn't representative of a build like this being likely to actually sell on the open market for that price.

We've all heard that "The customer is always right," but that is not the complete saying, and it can easily be misused to imply that the merchant, artisan, etc. must comply with all customer demands. The complete aphorism is "The customer is always right in matters of taste" that means the customer can have their own preferences, but cannot dictate the maker's process or business practices. As for the Roman ogee, an artisan may think the customer's design choices are ridiculous, ugly, and distasteful, but if (IF!) the artisan accepts the customer's order, then the design choices of the customer must be honored. I, an ole phart, like the Roman ogee, but I completely understand that others might not share that opinion.

I have no problem with the price. My problem is with the wood used. I find it a little too plain/ordinary in overall appearance for the price. Given the choice I would have gone more exotic, maybe a macassar ebony, or a more highly figured lighter colored wood, e.g. thuya burl. But if it uses wood that is already featured at the client's house, then it might be perfect as is.

No fancy clamp storage rack in the previous chessboard build. Limited space in my workshop means wall and floor space are premium. Beneath the long flat lumber and jig storage hanging from the ceiling I put some 2x boards to slip long pipe/bar clamps above with shorter clamps clamped beneath. It gives me lots of 2 sided clamp storage in an otherwise thin unusable area. Haven’t had a clamp fall on my head yet. It works for me.

[@OneWildTurkey]

During the resin crazy days of the early 1970's we made a pair of chessboards that look surprisingly alike that one. We used black walnut for the dark squares and just stuck them down to a flat board in the shape we wanted for the boards and then poured the pearlescent resin all over it. When we were done and flipped it over, it did take a lot of polishing on the surface, but it worked out pretty well. We didn't have any kind of lights that would work under it at the time, but LEDs would have been great. It wasn't a sealed surface, so the walnut and resin were contrasting textures, too.

I wanted a combination keyboard and trackball that I could put on my lap to help with my shoulder pain. I couldn't find anything that had a normal size trackball. It was all either tiny useless trackballs or industrial grade trackballs that cost hundreds of dollars. So I decided to build it myself. I designed the circuit board and designed and 3d printed the case. I would only be willing to pay about $75 for something like this pre-made. I spent well over $200 on the parts to build it, and probably a good 120 hours or so in time designing the circuit board, designing the case and then 3d printing it as well. If I were to value my time at just $15 an hour, which is crazy low for a custom build, that would be $2,000. So yea, a $2,000 or $2,500 chess board is completely reasonable. It might have only cost you a tenth of that in parts, but the time you put into build it far outweighs the cost of the materials.

Looks good. (And yes, it is a shame you forgot the plastic on one of the epoxy pours.) Just "spit balling" some things though: Ok, the epoxy is a nice idea to also protect the wood/board and keep it looking nice. The TOP surface: Why not use glass? (Float glass - of course) Basically do what you did, but one side don't fret too much. The board is the FINAL SIZE you want. Get some thin-ish float glass the same size. Put the glass on the top side of the board - be it you have it upside down when attaching them together - and you would only need a thin layer of epoxy to attach it Then you are guaranteed a FLAT surface on the top. Ok, it can crash/split/(what ever) but if the person to whom it is given knows this and treats it with respect.... That shouldn't be a problem.

If I heard you right, you said $2000 for something that involved 25 hours of labor. That's less than $100 per hour -- before you deduct for the cost of materials. Let's say $80 an hour. By the time you take into account depreciation on shop tools, miscellaneous supplies, business insurance and other overhead, health insurance, retirement investments, etc., you're really not making enough.

Hey Eric, I don't get all that discussion on the pricing. If I get it correctly, you charge a 25% margin on times and material before tax. So where is the point? Or do I miss something U.S. specific, since I am from Europe? From my experience, a 75$ chessboard from Indonesia will include at least a 100% margin if not more (that does not go to the poor guy who made it). Designwise, this board would not be my favourite. In general, I am not a fan of masses of epoxy, but the customer must be happy. Don't know, perhaps an inlay of 2mm stainless steel strip around the field itself (like the dark wood strip on the older board) plus a stainless steel frame around the whole board would change my mind. OTOH - thinking of semi translucent lamp screens made from veneer, I start asking myself, if not a walnut/maple pattern glued on a piece of acrylic could be planed down thin enough to become translucent... guess I have to run to my workshop for some testing. As always, thanks for the inspiration! Greetings from over the pond Andreas

[@dragade101]

You are making 1 chess board, hence the high sticker price. There are ways to scale up your production and thus cutting costs. Imagine if you took orders for 500 chess boards and could make them together. I'd think you could plan out working on 4 to 5 boards at a time. But figuring out a process for one chess board does take work.

​​@@mudlick8186the correct size is 22inch square. It is not dependant on the chess pieces.

[@mudlick8186]

@@MsHeebiejeebies I'm not interested in an argument but your information is incorrect. I just measured my USCF official tournement board. The individual squares are 2.25" x 2.25". The playing field is 18" x 18". The non-playing edge part can vary but in my board's case each edge is 1" wide, allowing room for square coordinates. FIDE's recommendations are that the board squares be 5-6 cm (just under 2" to just over 2 - 5/16") each side and that the size of each square be at least twice the width of the base of the pawn (enough room so four pawns can fit on a square). This makes the playing field of a FIDE regulation chess board roughly 16" - 19". Piece size and board size (within these guidelines) to be agreed upon by the players. In both FIDE and USCF, pieces for official events are to be based proportionately on an approximately 3.75" tall King. Officially permitted chessmen have bases proportional to their height. The base dictates the square, and the square dictates the board size. Now, this is only for tournament play. Outside of that world, chessmen and their boards can be any size, shape, and proportion you desire. There are municipal chess boards with human-size pieces, and tiny folding travel sets. Both boards and pieces have been made of all sorts material (eg: Spencer's), and all sorts of styles (including themed pieces, eg: so-called Renaissance pieces, but as widely divergent as Smurf pieces, Civil War pieces, or sculptural art pieces). Collectors often have dozens of different types. Basically, there is no "one size fits all" for either pieces or board. For the average player the only general rule is aesthetic. Most players find pieces placed on squares sized proportionally to the base of the pieces to be the most pleasing (and least distracting from play). All that aside, most club level amatuer players are most familiar with and most likely to play on boards that are 2.25" square (18" x 18" playing field), with pieces scaled to a King that is 3.75" - 4" tall. Hope this helps.
