I’m hoping to give my friend a chess set, board and pieces fully made by me for his wedding gift. I need to level up my turning skills to do this, but I have hope! Many thanks for the video 🙏

Thanks, Alan. You are right about our health - the big unknown we have little control over.

Mike, I love the fact that you use a longer screw on the mandrel so you can adjust the projection length.

Thanks for sharing, Mike. Your videos are always worth watching. There is almost always something new in them. Have a great New Years and stay safe.🙂🙂

Thanks for sharing Mike. I always enjoy your videos. 🕶🇺🇸

1:40 in I love it

The first thing I ever turned on a lathe was a chess set. I don’t believe any of them are exactly the same but hey it was the first thing I ever turned lol. Great practice turning chess pieces

I always say they’re not supposed to be exactly the same, just so you know it’s hand turned 😀

I love the video, in stead of the spindle gouge wouldn't a razor or a exacto knife work just as well?

No! Those are not woodturning tools and would be dangerous to use with a lathe.

I wonder if pouring lead free soldier would work well for weighing down the pieces?

Yes. Check out my Playlist on turning chess pieces and watch the one on Kings. I demonstrate pouring lead.

Your pennies are copper clad zinc so not as much weight as a slug of steel. Nice tip on making the tool handle ferrule from a bearing. Look for diatomaceous earth where they sell Pool Supplies; its used as a pool water filter material, same principal as charcoal filtering water.

I learn something new every day! But pennies still make a good weight. My research leads me to believe that the treated DE used for pool filtration should not be used for abrasive paste. Thanks for sharing.
