The only reason I watched this was to see how you would make the Knight. The way you made the Knight is the best one I've seen so far. It was simple (no carving), elegant (it matched the other pieces very well) and easily recognizable as a Knight. Some other turned Knights I've seen on KZread were hardly recognizable as Knights. WELL DONE!

Knight is always a changeling to turn

the rook design is definitely my favourite, that dome is very unique and attractive. love this and the amazing board!

Gorgeous! I love the clean lines. So beautiful.

Simple and beautiful. Awesome wood turning

There's nothing so gorgeous as a beautiful chess set...you make it look so easy and your work is always stunning...tyfs :-)

Oooo yeeeeeaaaa, it's mesmerizing to watch your process!

You make it look so easy . I've just bought a lathe, and haven't used it yet as am waiting for chisel's.

Fantastic, thank you. The designs are wonderful, so simple and appealing (as a keen chess player who wood turns, this was a delight to find). The execution is amazing I can imagine doing them all the same is extremely challenging. The designs also emphasize the grain of the wood beautifully.

I feel like a chess set is to a woodturner what a peacock is to a stained glass artist. Ya gotta do one....ok, well, I actually have peafowl, and they are as beautiful as you would expect, so I'm sure I'll do numerous peafowl projects, but I'm special like that. I like these. They're minimalist in an Art Deco kind of way.

So when you get check mate you just make another king pin to continue?

Awesome. And the Music at the End 🙂👍

De lujo, que gran trabajo... Dan ganas de aprender

A neat and pleasant set that looks good but won't distract attention from the subtleties of the game.

Just.... Excellent

Now you're talking-to! Love chess. It's a very nice looking set. All you need now are the felt bottoms and your set is complete. How long did it take to make all 32 pieces?

The King is 60mm then I took 5mm off for the queen then another 5 for the bishop and the pawn is 40mm I think the knight and castle are pretty much 45mm I didn't have a plan for this I just kind of turned what looked in proportion .. hope this helps cheers Andy

I started to turn a chess set awhile ago, but never finished it all the pieces. I made the knights by drawing the side, front and back profiles on a block of wood, then sawed it out twice with a scroll saw, taping the pieces back together after the first cut and rotating the piece 90 degrees before the second cut. I turned the base and glued the horse head on top. I cut the slits for the rook and the bishop's hat with a coping saw.

nice work,,thanks,,

Did you design the pieces? They seem to be a stripped down minimalistic Staunton pattern.

Nice set. Just as a heads up, the Queens are always on the D squares (d1/d8) and the Kings are always on the E squares (e1/e8). You had them in a checker pattern for some reason.

Indeed, it is new design and great look. However, why did not you weighted it with metal block inside? Additionally, the king need some little extra distinguish between the queen, by more extra length. Again, it is great set.

Good Morning Mr. Phillip! I'm a High-schooler and beginner wood turner, making my first chess set through my 4-H club. I really like your design and was wondering if you would mind sharing up-close photos of the pieces. Your design is simple but beautiful and for my first project I thought it would be manageable. I do not intend to entirely copy your work, but I would like to keep the basic shape and size. Thank you for the video!

Spanne R I was just being facetious. I am as awed by the work as anyone else. But the pieces are in formation, so it shouldn’t take a huge stretch of the imagination to imagine the squares. The queen goes on her own colour. She should be opposite the other queen.
