Woodturn a Russian Chess Set
ฝัง

- I demonstrate how to woodturn a Russian chess set patterned from a Soviet Era Russian design. Woodturning an heirloom chess set is a fun project for a woodturner requiring only modest skills. Because you repetitively use only a few tools, it can be a great skill building project. I used Bradford Pear and Persimmon and dyed the dark set green.

Great work from a great man. Thank you for your painstaking work more grease to your elbow.
Thank you kindly.
Excellent!! Thank you for the video
You are welcome!
I feel useless watching you do this. You make it look so easy. The mark of a true pro. Love the set. Green is a nice color for the little girl and she'll love the "horse" wih his funny eye. Looks cute. Great work: made me wanna play !
Thanks so much for your comment!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I will be watching your chess playlist.
Thanks again, Pam
Fun project. I submitted an article on chess sets in the American Woodturner. Not sure when it will be published.
That's cool Mike!
I bet your grandchildren love their sets. It'll be a great hand me down!
Again, thanks for sharing, Pam
You do great work!!
Thanks!
Your set is gorgeous and that style (Staunton) is the only style serious players consider real. It reminds me of the Zagreb '59 set from House of Staunton.
Thanks for that comment.
A braw chess set Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Jim. I appreciate your support.
beautiful set. nicely done!
They look great. Rg. Júlíus
Handmade ? Wow, thts crazy ) how to make all figures precisely the same size ? Must be really hard work
Nice!
Thanks!
Witam i pozdrawiam!!Bardzo pomysłowo zrobione szachy w rosyjskim stylu!!Ciekawa kolorystyka figur i fantazyjne wykonanie,wysoki kunszt!!Prima!Dobry materiał filmowy!!
Dziękuję Ci!
very nice work man but not sure with green color
Do you cut the " ball" at the end of the key for your supernova chuck off?
Loved the pennies in the base idea.
Thanks, James
I did. Great improvement.
Mate you are truly an inspirational man I hope to have a go at this , where can I get a story board same dimensions as yours?
If you go to my blog mikepeacewoodturning.blogspot.com/ and Resources you can find a scale drawign for another set. Otherwise use Google or Pinterest to find a design you like. Download the picture and scale it to the size you like.
👍👍💙 Remarquable artisan !
Thank you! Safe turning.
Gorgeous chess set. Love soviet design
Those look really nice. How long does it take you to turn a complete set?
I did it over a period of 3 weeks. After I did the storyboards, probably 32 hours for all blank prep, turning and finishing. Once I got a blank mounted it probably did not take more than 1 minutes to turn a pawn.
Mike, Is there a plan that I can purchase for this style chess piece set?Regards,Bob
Sorry, I somehow missed your question. No plans on this one but there are scale drawings on my blog for my first set.
my favorite chess design
Thanks, mine too. I have an article coming out in the Feb issue of the American Woodturner on turning chessmen. You will be able to download a copy from my website.
Very very good. Congratulations. Geraldo Paiva - Pindamonhanfaba - SP - Brasil.
Thanks, Geraldo.
W.O.W.
What is the slow speed click? I didn't notice it at high speed. My PM has a bearing going out?
That is a bit of a mystery to me. Bearings would be the last thing I would check on a PM. Possible problem but remote, in my opinion.
I finally discovered it is coming from my chuck. The pintles in each side, where you turn your chuck key, rattle at slow speed.
When the spanner grabs 😧
0:54 pennies or lead??? Why not a small magnet and put a plate just underneath the checkered board?
I used pennies for this set. You approach seems far more complicated and expensive in my opinion tryng to get the right magnet strength. That would be
a big plate of steel and take strong magnets to pull thru 1/4 plywood not to mention heavy. Try and let me know how it works for you. More than one way can work.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Yes, probably both. I would like to see/try it. If only I had access to a woodshop :)
btw 1/4 plywood is 1/4 inch plywood (a bit more than half a cm)?
about 6mm
Those knights scare me
Great chess happened. Why Russian chess first appeared in the East.
Looks like your channel is off to a good start. Safe turning.
Not very accurate translation. I'm sorry if that is not so.
No problem. Thanks for watching and commenting.
