This is the perfect example of the service you will get if you buy from him: the quality is always amazing, the packaging is always perfect and all of the details will be taken care of. Another amazing piece of art. It almost makes me want to start playing chess and buy one board from you haha.
Again an amazing project. You are truly blessed with talent & patience. Love to see your little boys helping you. Teach them well my friend because the world needs great craftsman like yourself to keep our great woodworking hobby going. Awesome work again.
Not surprising at all... Came out better then expected.... Just like all of your work. Extraordinary work. Please keep doing it all long as you can my friend
The boards are fantastic. You make the trade and art of woodworking look easy! Very well done. It was nice to see the shipping process too, I'm glad you included it.
Wow. First video of yours I've watched and it will definitely not be the last. Absolutely mind-blowingly beautiful. There's something about the combination of maple and padauk in any fine piece that is mesmerizing. Very well done.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
The wedge is genius. I've encountered the same problem cutting thicker stock and didn't want it to burn. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Thanks.
The padauk and maple really compliment each other on your chess board. You are a true craftsman, as you pay close attention to the details of the build. I love your shop and woodworking equipment, too, especially the shaper and CNC. You extend your skills and craftsmanship into your shipping crate, too, as the chess board was a piston fit when placed into the crate. Extremely nice, my friend, extremely nice. Loved the video and the build.
If that board was for me, and I saw this video, I wouldn't even be mad about the mistake. The beauty of the board and the amount of GREAT work that was put into the board would make me not even care about the mistake, GREAT job sir!
I've watched this video 4 or 5 times now. I'm a big chess fan and love a nice wooden chess board. I've watched every video on TH-cam about building a board. None compare to this, by far the best.
This has to be the fourth or fifth time I've watched this and I'm STILL in awe.......... Top notch work ................man I wish I could work for you!! (Btw, I'm in oregon, USA here)
It's been 2 years since I watch your videos especially this one. The flow you implement in making these boards indicate that you've come a long way. I really feel quite relaxed and euphoric watching this video mehn. Your craft inspires me to own this board some day as a masterpiece and something I'd wanna age with to be honest. I sincerely hope it'll be available by the time I make a buying decision.
Сколько смотрю на вашу работу и всегда с большим удовольствием! доска для шахмат очень понравилась, интересно было бы посмотреть в вашем исполнении доску для нард, я так думаю её обязательно купят! в эту игру играют милионы...
Witam i pozdrawiam!!Bardzo pomysłowo wykonana deska szachowa!!Dobra kolorystyka,duża precyzja i dokładność wykonania. Mistrzostwo!!Prima!Dobry materiał filmowy!Tak trzymać!!
20 минут удовольствия ! просто изумительно, начиная от изделия до самой посылочной коробки. даешь İnventables каждому вудмейкеру )) чем он Вас взял ? легкостью конструкции? шпиндель же слабый на 1000х1000
Even with that little mistake I'd be proud to have that in my house, you're an artist man and an inspiration I'm taking up woodworking as a hobby now from watching your videos. I've already made a table and a jewelry box working on a couple cutting boards soon. Thank you!
Если бы я, как вы, был производителем чего-нибудь уникального и потрясающего, то с удовольствием заказывал бы у вас упаковку своего товара!!! Так держать!
Absolutely Beautiful design and craftsmanship! You always amaze me with your attention to detail, hard work and the long hours that you devote to each project! Hopefully the new packaging will eliminate shipping damage. Any chess player will be proud to play on one of your end grain chessboards!
Hacen un trabajo absolutamente maravilloso, con una delicadeza y un gran amor por su trabajo.. Felicitaciones!!! Quisiera saber como consigo los precios, si hacen venta individual y si hacen el envío de sus productos..
В начале падук - очень красивое дерево! Шикарные досточки получились! Очень много работы, хотя, казалось бы - просто "шахматные доски", НО НЕ ПРОСТО! На фрезерном удивился, что нет заднего упора и ждал, когда отколется уголочек, прямо триллер, но повезло как-то, то ли фреза у Вас хорошая, то ли я ничего не понимаю! :))
Absolutely beautiful ! I love chess , and watching these videos of you making beautiful chessboards is painful because I wish I could just reach into the video and take the board. One my goals is to save up enough money to buy one of these boards from you .
mtmwood Wow. I really don't know what they do to packages and parcels, but they really need to stop it. Just because you can throw something doesn't mean you should.
Mark Lindsay I ask the customer to find local shop to repair the board. I am going to pay for this. So it is cheaper to make good box than pay everytime for repair.:)
отличная работа и хороший заказ, спасибо за видео :-) Но я о другом, на видео видно стол от Inventables это X-carve 1000*1000 ? а видео ? может я где пропустил чего ? :-)
stunning sir! And I loved the help! Cheap, easy to train and oh so adorable! I have several grandkids now! U sir are a master craftsman and a talented artist!
Anry V По интернету. Несколько поставщиков, ни разу не выезжал на склады. Один раз была некондиция дуба, прислали дополнительный куб. На самом деле сейчас большинство поставщиков относятся к даже к небольшим потребителям довольно ответственно.
I can't describe all these that i feel now ,for this art, i remembered my old job...i worked in a cnc machine(Baz Homag) , all these maybe look's like so simple, but it isn't. Congrats for this video.
Good job ! except missing the side indicator , unlike the most cases which they print The coordinates on the sides , but i think the stamp did the job .
What a great and beautiful work. In Asia, especially China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam, a lot of people are playing chinese chess. I really love that game, but couldnt find a board in a quality like you produce. Could you mention to produce a chinese Chess board inkl. the pieces?
Amazing work! Now I know how well my order will look in Walnut and White Ash with an Ebony Strip around the perimeter of the playing surface. I'm still awaiting delivery of the first board that was crafted for me, which should arrive any day now. Your keen attention to packaging and the method of protection is quite excellent! Now I know what you meant by a "levitating" chessboard and how the playing surface was glued at certain key points to allow movement because after a period of season changes wood expands and contracts according to the climate where one lives. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more pictures you'll send me. Keep up the Excellent work and with my Best Regards...Jorge.
Yet another masterpiece. I'd love to spend a day in your shop just learning as much as possible. I'm about to make my first chessboard. I admit I'm a bit nervous. Zebrawood and wengue is probably not the wisest start... but it's what I have. 😳
Absolutely craftsman-like work. But I challenge your four-mid-point epoxy attachment as solving wood movement. Unlike a board with all pieces aligned by grain direction, the end-grain pieces will expand in both directions. With all four sides anchored by your mid-point glue, where's the movement to go?
A magnificent looking board - 99% perfect - but router ridges in the corner mouldings spoil it for me. This can be seen at 19 minutes and 19 seconds. I would glue the un-routed borders to the board first, thickness it (if it will fit) and then cut the mouldings (top face down) on the router last. I can also see slight chips on the bottom edge of the corner square. I'd score the vulnerable areas with a blade (1 mm lower) to limit chips. Again, this is a magnificent looking board - 99% perfect! Edited: I just noticed the boards on your website and they appear 100% perfect. :)
Wow great job Andrei. When you were cutting the maple, your saw had a bit of trouble. Maple is tough stuff! Great idea with the wooden wedge ☺. We could use some rain...the grass is turning brown. It looks like you have lost some weight. Good job, I need to lose a few pounds myself. Too much 🍺🍻. Your sons remind me when I was in my father's shop sweeping and cleaning up! Best Regards Patrick
mtmwood azobe Lophira alata red iron wood. Very tough wood. Have you had a chance to use the xcarve? I am a video will out soon enough. Enjoy your evening Patrick
How much is that Chess Board sold out to Trader Company in each country from factory maker and perhaps is not a cheap price to purchase whIch was going to ?
This is the perfect example of the service you will get if you buy from him: the quality is always amazing, the packaging is always perfect and all of the details will be taken care of. Another amazing piece of art. It almost makes me want to start playing chess and buy one board from you haha.
So pleasing to see someone who knows exactly what he is doing, pure class . Well done .
Love the way you do these projects and the final product. You have a great eye for detail and presentation. Greetings from India,
Fabulous work. I especially liked you showing us the the details of packaging. Outstanding.
Beautiful work. Not a mistske, an accident, just a weak spot in the wood. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
David Clauson I didn't find a right English word for this.:) Padauk is prone to splitting. It does not occur with walnut. Thanks!
No problem, that is a beautiful chess board. You do amazing work! You should be sponsored by titebond and jet. Have a great day!
Again an amazing project. You are truly blessed with talent & patience. Love to see your little boys helping you. Teach them well my friend because the world needs great craftsman like yourself to keep our great woodworking hobby going. Awesome work again.
Bobby Rodrigues Thanks!
You are more than a master craftsman, you are an artist.
You never cease to amaze your subscribers and those who just drop by.
Beautiful, Words Don't describe the work you can do!
BEAUTIFUL Job Andrey
Excellent! The moulding cut into the end grain is just beautiful. Your shipping container is more elegant than many projects I see on TH-cam!
Alex Pettigrew Thanks!:) I made it in very accurate size to not allow the board to move inside.
Alex Pettigrew :
Not surprising at all... Came out better then expected.... Just like all of your work. Extraordinary work. Please keep doing it all long as you can my friend
The boards are fantastic. You make the trade and art of woodworking look easy! Very well done.
It was nice to see the shipping process too, I'm glad you included it.
Thanks for including the packing! What a process, beautiful work.
Inspiring attention to detail. Your shop helpers have grown quite a bit!
Don Foster Thanks!
that packaging was amazing ... !! you are such a perfectionist.... ! fantastic to watch!
Wow. First video of yours I've watched and it will definitely not be the last. Absolutely mind-blowingly beautiful. There's something about the combination of maple and padauk in any fine piece that is mesmerizing. Very well done.
The wedge is genius. I've encountered the same problem cutting thicker stock and didn't want it to burn. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Thanks.
Amazing shop assistants you have! 😊 And amazing work! Ten thumbs up! 👍🏻
Fantastic result,even the transit box is a work of art.
I love your attention to detail. Fantastic work!
I don't think it can be done better than that.. Outstanding!
The padauk and maple really compliment each other on your chess board. You are a true craftsman, as you pay close attention to the details of the build. I love your shop and woodworking equipment, too, especially the shaper and CNC. You extend your skills and craftsmanship into your shipping crate, too, as the chess board was a piston fit when placed into the crate. Extremely nice, my friend, extremely nice.

Fine Woodworking of South Carolina I make drawing for each board size.
If that board was for me, and I saw this video, I wouldn't even be mad about the mistake. The beauty of the board and the amount of GREAT work that was put into the board would make me not even care about the mistake, GREAT job sir!
Wonderful video. Beautiful work, both wood and finishing. Thank you.
The panel is too wide for my planer, so.... the simple answer to a similar problem. Brilliant. Many thanks!!
Works of art all the way up to the packing. I was hoping you would show the repair on the corner after running it through the shaper.
The most beautiful chess board I have ever seen 😍 amazing work and design
That is one heck of a Roman ogee? Bit!! Beautiful work as always!
I've watched this video 4 or 5 times now. I'm a big chess fan and love a nice wooden chess board. I've watched every video on TH-cam about building a board. None compare to this, by far the best.
+mrmjg20 Thanks!
Нет слов чтоб выразить эмоции.Перфектная работа респект мастеру и благодарю за видео.Пацаны тоже красавчики помогают.
This has to be the fourth or fifth time I've watched this and I'm STILL in awe..........
Top notch work ................man I wish I could work for you!!
(Btw, I'm in oregon, USA here)
I am in Russia.:)
Beautiful, PERFECT WORK. You should make backgammon boards too
It's been 2 years since I watch your videos especially this one. The flow you implement in making these boards indicate that you've come a long way. I really feel quite relaxed and euphoric watching this video mehn. Your craft inspires me to own this board some day as a masterpiece and something I'd wanna age with to be honest. I sincerely hope it'll be available by the time I make a buying decision.
After watching this video I am tempted to become a carpenter! Amazing skills and perfection.
I like the hovering effect, it's pretty nice!

Yalchin Abdullayev Так это же бесплатно прислали.:) Взамен только одной видео по установке и использованию. Немного за 1800 долл.
Most beautiful chessboard I've ever seen. Great video, too, and thanks for not using any stupid background "music."
Even with that little mistake I'd be proud to have that in my house, you're an artist man and an inspiration I'm taking up woodworking as a hobby now from watching your videos. I've already made a table and a jewelry box working on a couple cutting boards soon. Thank you!
A masterpiece, down to the box it's shipped in.
Если бы я, как вы, был производителем чего-нибудь уникального и потрясающего, то с удовольствием заказывал бы у вас упаковку своего товара!!! Так держать!
Да уровень производства от А до Я впечатляет.Спасибо! ЛАЙК
From start to finish. So beautiful!
Андрей, в компании "Лига" есть грунт производителя "Renner" который прекрасно перекрывает поры у "Падука"
Да, сейчас грунтую много раз, шлифую, потом лак.
+mtmwood Этим грунтом поры в торце Падука перекрываю за два покрытия. Первый слой кистью, а когда и второй.
Евгений Аксенов Более эффективно, конечно, специальным порозаполнителем - th-cam.com/video/5F3w-kr7glE/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely Beautiful design and craftsmanship! You always amaze me with your attention to detail, hard work and the long hours that you devote to each project! Hopefully the new packaging will eliminate shipping damage. Any chess player will be proud to play on one of your end grain chessboards!
MRrwmac Thanks, Mac!
Смотрел бы и смотрел как работают люди с ровными руками! Супер!
Keeping a Wedge at the saw like this is just genius. I will copy that today :D
Nice video as always and very fine work!
Cheers,
Stephan
Stephan W You can watch my old video about it in Russian - th-cam.com/video/nrrAU8rLUg8/w-d-xo.html
тот случай, когда не хватает одного пальца вверх) хочется их сразу 10 поставить - настолько все аккуратно и красиво выполнено. браво!
+Антон «StraNg3r» Олейников Спасибо!
Qué bonito trabajo, no había visto con tanta pasión hacer este tipo de tablero que me quede asombrado.Saludos desde Perú .
Hacen un trabajo absolutamente maravilloso, con una delicadeza y un gran amor por su trabajo.. Felicitaciones!!!
Quisiera saber como consigo los precios, si hacen venta individual y si hacen el envío de sus productos..

Igor BiBl Фрезы хорошие, но один угол все равно откололся. Но это особенность падука, он легко колется.
Very elegant chess boards. Kings level...well done.
Absolutely beautiful ! I love chess , and watching these videos of you making beautiful chessboards is painful because I wish I could just reach into the video and take the board. One my goals is to save up enough money to buy one of these boards from you .
Everything you create makes my jaw drop.
Wow! So much gluing! I am so impressed.
Kirk
Andrei, My weekend is now complete. Thanks for the new video. cant wait for the next one.
Derek Dalton Thanks, Derek!
Truly glorious. I really love how that turned out. Awesome shipping crate, too! That's not going to get beat up in transit.
Mark Lindsay My previous chessboard shipped to NY was damaged by the post.
mtmwood Wow. I really don't know what they do to packages and parcels, but they really need to stop it. Just because you can throw something doesn't mean you should.
Mark Lindsay I ask the customer to find local shop to repair the board. I am going to pay for this. So it is cheaper to make good box than pay everytime for repair.:)
отличная работа и хороший заказ, спасибо за видео :-)
Но я о другом, на видео видно стол от Inventables
это X-carve 1000*1000 ? а видео ? может я где пропустил чего ? :-)
Alexander Khokhlov Пока не пришла третья посылка с двигателями и шпинделем. Только стол и направляющие. Мешаются по всей мастерской.:)
буду ждать видео, значит я ничего не пропустил интересного :-)
stunning sir! And I loved the help! Cheap, easy to train and oh so adorable! I have several grandkids now! U sir are a master craftsman and a talented artist!
Здравствуйте!
За вашими работами слежу, как завороженный. Вы просто вдохновляете на созидательную деятельность.
Подмастерье не требуются? )
+Un Mec У меня уже есть двое.:)
+mtmwood Близнецы - сила ! )
Un Mec Да уж! Счастье в квадрате.:)
Make and Bamboo cutting boards? That would be neat to see. You have awesome skills!!
шикарное дерево. Интересно, как вы его покупаете. У меня ощущение, если заказать, через интернет пришлют совсем не кондицию.
Anry V По интернету. Несколько поставщиков, ни разу не выезжал на склады. Один раз была некондиция дуба, прислали дополнительный куб. На самом деле сейчас большинство поставщиков относятся к даже к небольшим потребителям довольно ответственно.

Congrats for this video.
fantastikos Thanks!
Can you make up a chess board like this for sale and what would be the cost?
Он должен быть те же 20 человек , идущие от видео к видео , которые не любят свою работу ! Я не знаю, как кто-то не мог любить это !!
It's an amazing work!!!! I don't understand People Who don't like this project. I want the wooden box at least! !!! Congratulation.
Pablo Cabilla Thanks! The box itself is not for sale.:)
True craftsmanship!!! Someone will be very proud to own that chessboard.
Fantastic workmanship!
Awesome craftsmanship - as always! You are a true master!
Outstanding. Nice video sir. Almost makes me want to play chess again.
Потрясающе! Вопрос: подскажите а чем вы покрывали из краскопульта продукцию в процессе работы и в конце? Масло? Лак? Какой? Спасибо за ответ
Полиуретановый лак
Спасибо, а как он называется по английски? polyurethane varnish ТАК?
Да. Или lacquer
Подскажите а в чем разница между linseed oil и Полиуретановый лак? В некоторых ваших видео вы используете linseed а тут Полиуретановый лак?
linseed oil - это льняное масло. Совсем другое покрытие. Масло не образует пленку в отличие от лака.
That is Amazing work.....You are the master of end grain works.
Awesome chess board. I love the frame. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
When it rains it pours. Also very handsome boards.
Good job ! except missing the side indicator , unlike the most cases which they print The coordinates on the sides , but i think the stamp did the job .
absolutely gorgeous, such amazing craftsmanship and eye for detail even down to the packaging, keep it up!
wow that is impressive. I love the amount of thought and detail you put into your work. Great job....
Looks fantastic! Even just the packaging you made for it looks wonderful, great work!
What a great and beautiful work. In Asia, especially China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam, a lot of people are playing chinese chess. I really love that game, but couldnt find a board in a quality like you produce. Could you mention to produce a chinese Chess board inkl. the pieces?

Damn, you got some fine tools! That board is beautiful!
Omg! The way the chess board went into the polyurethane foam. I had to watch again again.
Excellent job! You take pride in your work!!!
Padauk is beautiful wood and looks cool with Wenge wood.
That feeling when the quality of mtmwood's plywood packaging is better than most of my own home projects...
Alex Clark Russian birch plywood.:)
lol!
Доски шикарные, видно сколько труда вложил мастер. Если не секрет куда уехали?

Patrick Melchior The wedge is made of azobe. It is a crazy dense wood. It sinks in water. I use it during four years, no changes.

mtmwood azobe Lophira alata red iron wood. Very tough wood. Have you had a chance to use the xcarve? I am a video will out soon enough. Enjoy your evening
Patrick
Exquisite work. You are most definitely a model to follow. Would my SAWDUST be as good as your. WOW. Thank you.
Another beautiful piece by the master himself. Great job ☺
Цвет дерева, превосходный!!! Сколько такая доска стоит? Сколько ждать по времени? И где Вы находитесь?
+Игорь Реутов Есть в наличии - mtmwood.com/chessboards.php. В Ижевске.
How much is that Chess Board sold out to Trader Company in each country from factory maker and perhaps is not a cheap price to purchase whIch was going to ?
Доброго времени суток Сергей. Если не секрет, какими лаками работаешь?
Beautiful work. I don’t understand how this has many thumbs down?
This is amazing work. I am learning so much from your videos. Thanks for posting
