[@OleksandrDiedov]

Love the AD placement and Diresta saw) Good job!

[@matt_williams1015]

I like the multigame build, nice job!

[@brianmarcum4829]

Love it,Nice job Tim.

[@Maker_Bakery]

Love it! A great video as usual. I love how productive I feel after watching your videos... even though I didn't do anything...

[@deadtech]

Whoa! Such a great use for an old door! So many great little tricks and processes in one build!

[@timsway]

Rob Ray thank you!!

[@douglidz2944]

Personally Tim I thought using the door skin for the box bottoms was pretty clever and the “CNC” lids worked well too. Another inspired and inspiring build.

[@timsway]

Doug Lidz thanks! Those doors are a pet project. They are the first thing in the dumpster every time someone remodels a house. I'm always looking for good uses for them to keep them out of the landfill.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I came, I watched and admired! It's great that you made the game and box from the fire wood. Very cool!

[@timsway]

Thanks bud. Merry Christmas, or whatever backwards holiday y'all celebrate Down Under :-p

[@daddynutz024]

Thanks for the video very soothing makes work go by faster.

[@AndyCPugh]

Nine Men's Morris - I haven't played that since I was a kid! Nice build as always.

[@timsway]

Andy Pugh I have yet to play! I was googling game board ideas and found that :)

[@AndyCPugh]

I bet that CNC of yours would be good for making a GO board.

[@NickDV007]

Interesting 👍👍👍

[@sapelesteve]

Great job Tim & I'm sure that the kids will love it. Happy Holidays to you & yours........

[@timsway]

Sapele Steve same to you sir!!

[@marceaton3128]

I am already subscribed, I gave it a thumbs up and I will share it my, Friend. Merry Christmas.

[@ragtie6177]

Great video & project Tim. What a great heat source you have

[@timsway]

thanks Rag. Merry Christmas!

[@bullandtimber]

I don't know why but that was one of my favorite videos of yours... I had a similar idea to make a multi-game (including nine men's morris) play set but out of leather

[@timsway]

M C thanks!! Maybe because you're thinking the same way is why? :)

[@JonnyBuilds]

Simple, beautiful, love it

[@timsway]

[@bqqstin]

Amazing work Tim! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@timsway]

thank you! same to you

[@nicolasbergeron7854]

Wish I had 2 miter gauges.. i use a speed square pressed against the edge of the miter slot. Great work as usual, Tim!

[@timsway]

Neither of them slide well or belong to that tablesaw, but they come in handy.

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

This really warmed my heart ❤️

[@davebauerart]

Really cool project!

[@bradymcphail9690]

Tim, you're alright man! I just found your channel from Scott Turner, whom I just found because I like making multi-medium indoor/outdoor furniture and outdoor kitchens and living spaces. kind of more like BBQ's and smokers from all over the world. believe it or not I used to play Bass in a hair metal band in the 80's... I sucked, so I became a bodyguard... hah!

[@timsway]

Brady McPhail haha! Nice to meet you!

[@PaulJohnsLife]

Fun game set! Merry Christmas to you, Vance, and the rest of the family. Looking forward to 2018!

[@timsway]

Thanks Paul, same to you and so am I!

[@brianmaynard4836]

[@timsway]

Thank you very much, Brian. Same to you and yours!

[@devils30hockey]

Merry Christmas Tim and to your family Hope you all have a great one.

[@timsway]

[@doubledarefan]

So I'm not the only one who chops up old hollow-core doors for projects.

[@timsway]

Double Dare Fan great source of thin plywood!

[@RiaanOliver]

[@TheWoodYogi]

Nice project :) Merry Christmas to you and all around you :)

[@timsway]

Thank you and same to you!!

[@phil.pinsky]

I really enjoyed this video. Nicely done my friend

[@jackburke5313]

Phil you could make a firewood Whisky box? :)

[@simoncroatia]

one man's mistake is another man's education. Thank you.

[@timsway]

simoncroatia indeed! I made a bteer board after I filmed this to go along with it. Cheers!

[@simoncroatia]

tim sway I make things too but don’t have a you tube channel. I learn from my mistakes and hopefully it makes me a better maker.

[@kaycox5555]

So cool!!!

[@sgsax]

Great game set! Somebody will have a lot of fun with this. Neat idea for the personalized checkers. After seeing the first one, I could only think of Cookie Monster, though. :)

[@timsway]

hahahaha! funny :) thank you

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Merry Christmas! Have you seen Graham Potter's video, Bonsai from firewood?

[@timsway]

Refuse Reuse no I have not. Thanks for the recommendation

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Awesome, Tim!

[@timsway]

thanks!

[@CammiesGarage]

Beautiful work, Tim! I assume you performed the music too. Nicely done.

[@timsway]

Cammie's Garage yes, thank you. I reclaimed a soundtrack I made for a Vance Maker video

[@CammiesGarage]

Is that a reclaimed comment too? ;)

[@JohnMadeit]

backgammon is popular here in Greece so im planning on making a set. and i had the same thought as you if im making backgammon i might as well make some checker and chess pieces..

[@timsway]

ha! it never ends!. Backgammon is on my list, too, mainly because the board looks interesting to make.

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

I wonder if you could've made those checkers with a plug cutter faster? Maybe the cnc isn't always the easiest

[@timsway]

agreed CNC is not always easiest or fastest. I could have made them on a lathe, with a hole saw, plug cutter, just sliced a broom handle, etc., but they wouldn't be monogramed yet. I want to learn CNC (especially 3d carving) and get better at it, so sometimes the path of most resistance is the one with the most learning opportunities. If I stay within my comfort zone I'll never grow out of it.

[@nesleyheiney3111]

I know you burn dead tree carcasses for heat in the winter months and I’ve also had shops in the past where that was my heating option. I’m curious to know why you would turn down an option for an actual heater in your shop other then that space heater. Unless I’m missing some part of the equation which I sure I am I know when I had my unheated shop I would have killed for an actual full size heat option instead of localized heat. A wood burner can run you out it gets so hot I know but takes awhile and can’t be set to turn on safely..lol without your assistance. Inquiring minds 😊😉

[@timsway]

the main reason I turned it down is it required a separate 220v line which would have cost me a couple hundred dollars in copper to run the line from the breaker panel. I also am already pushing the limits of the limited electrical service running to my ancient barn already, so...

[@garagemonkeysan]

Cool project! : )

[@timsway]

thank you!!

[@gregsmith_za]

2:24 Oddly satisfying...

[@timsway]

Greg Smith :)

[@JohnMadeit]

did your table saw come with a pinky?

[@timsway]

he drew a picture of one on the back of it and dated it, like a fighter jet with it's tally painted on the side :)

[@robertoclemente9580]

Great build, but in video the chess set looks a bit chaotic, maybe the chess pieces are a little too big for that checkerboard? I'm guessing it

[@timsway]

Roberto Clemente yes. I ended up making a proper, real wood board for it. The scale was all off. Thanks!

[@robertoclemente9580]

You're welcome :). I like a lot your making style, and the fact that you make beautiful instruments/objects from nothing.

[@413DaveRN]

Love the games set, but two miter gauges? Show off!

[@timsway]

haha! Jimmy gave me a rusty one that doesn't belong to or slide well with this tablesaw and I have another from my portable table saw that also doesn't slide well.

[@kitchenscience324]

Why do you have blue painters tape on your table saw?

[@timsway]

Sonny Pittman my zero-clearance plate has seen better days and needs replacing. The tape was a quick fix for cutting some thin strips.

[@kitchenscience324]

tim sway, thanks for the quick response. Mine’s a bit out of sorts too. I’m going to try the blue tape trick. Happy Holidays
