Woodturn a Russian Chess Set

- 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.

Very nice design. I will have a go at it.
Also nice video. You evidently spent a lot of time editing, and it shows.

Thanks, Doug
Wow these are amazing !! Wish I could do this . So cool . Very talented sir
Thanks Nick. I am sure you could turn a chess set.
Nice set Mike and I know already that I will watch it several more times taking notes each time. You make great videos, I truly enjoy them.
God Bless my friend.
Wow Mike. Stunning work. I'm excited to give this a go. Thanks for the great camera work.
Thanks. I appreciate your comment.
Awesome! I'm very new to turning but now have an additional item on my bucket list of what to make. Thanks!
Good luck with your turning. Glad I could provide some inspiration.

Thanks, Rabi!
Mike, another excellent video.I am very sure you have two very happy granddaughters.
May they both become chess masters and woodturners!
Thanks, Peter. Either would be great but I am happy with them just being very happy!
Very nice will have to have a go.
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.
Some really great ideas Mike 💡. Diffenitly a project coming up in a week or so. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thanks, you too!
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 work from a great man. Thank you for your painstaking work more grease to your elbow.
Thank you kindly.
Nice work! I sure your granddaughters will cherish them for life. Thanks for sharing.
A braw chess set Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Jim. I appreciate your support.
Excellent!! Thank you for the video
You are welcome!
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
Great job on the design and turning. I enjoyed the dye lesson.
Handmade ? Wow, thts crazy ) how to make all figures precisely the same size ? Must be really hard work
You do great work!!
Thanks!

Very pretty!
Hi Mike! Wonderfull! A long time , I think do piece for chass. Tks for teaching a tecnics. I love your videos . Lourenço Minas Gerais Brazil
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.
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.
👍👍💙 Remarquable artisan !
Thank you! Safe turning.
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.
very nice work man but not sure with green color
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
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.
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.
Gorgeous chess set. Love soviet design
They look great. Rg. Júlíus
Very very good. Congratulations. Geraldo Paiva - Pindamonhanfaba - SP - Brasil.
Thanks, Geraldo.
W.O.W.
When the spanner grabs 😧
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.
beautiful set. nicely done!
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.
Those knights scare me
