Imagine sticking them together with a space between them and putting magnets into the chess pieces and the squares, so you could play it upside down as well
I once played on a board where the 4 central squares were the highest and everything sloped down from there. It really added a sense of power to that high ground because you have to fight to get up and then attacking from there feels like you have gravity on your side. I highly suggest making a board like this if you are still interested.
Thanks Melinda .. I know what you mean about the high ground in the middle .. i like the flow of the board with the corners high but will have to look at your suggestion. .im more about the look of the board than the playing it's been mentioned that I even set the peices wrong oops .. thanks for watching 👍
Board is just a place holder. Game is inside your head. :) Many chess players can play without a board at all! :D This is a brilliant conversation starter and might lead to a few more games than you would play otherwise. Love it!
Maybe you could make the same thing again but just make it a lot lower. So that there isn’t a huge difference between the high and the low points. That way, you could still keep this beautiful effect and it wouldn’t be so hard to play a game on this board.
That is a beautiful masterpiece! At first I was confused, then I caught on when you turned the board a certain angle. Definitely a board for masters that need a challenge. WOW!
1 thing i dont realy like. But its minor. On each sides(black or white) there should be always a black square on your left hand side cuz it will most likely mess up common stratagies or openings. Other than that good idea for a chess board but it will most likely be hard to play on it :)
As a small school kid I was traumatised in basket weaving. Took it home the reception as kind of negative. This incredible wood-art gave me flash backs. Congratulations on beautiful woodwork and a excellent vid.
I figured it out. The outside frame is uniform to the size of the square one decides to have. For me I’m going with 2” squares so 2x8 = 16” for my two corners, then 14”,12,”,10”,8”,6”,4”,2”. The inside pieces don’t have to be those measurements, you can use 4” pieces and ca glue them to the wood and adjust heights to what ever you desire for your 3-D effect. It’s suck a awesome project thanks!
A fun but very challenging chessboard to make is one where you make the grid on the surface of a slab of wood which has a natural side rather than being square from cuts (think a tree that was hollowed out by fire). It's tough to find the right piece and make flat spots that flow but it's a pretty neat idea.
redesign the game. pieces in order from top to bottom, left to right. queen. bishop, bishop. knight, king, knight. rook, pawn, pawn, rook. pawn5x. pawn 6x. all pieces can make the same moves but now..... there is a highground. when a pawn meets a pawn diagonally, he may take the opponent pawn but... the opponent gets to dice roll for a number the attacker calls. if it matches or is higher then the opponent gets his piece back starting at low square 1 or next available square. a knights L shaped move is twice as deadly when coming downhill on opponents piece. 1pawn plus the targeted piece are taken if there is a pawn within 1 square of the landing. same as if he attacks uphill. the victim gets a dice roll to avoid losing their piece completely. its the players goal to get queen to the other peak while keeping 4 prime pieces on home peak. or... get the king to one peak and the queen to the other without losing all your pawns. a complex spin on it... but super fun.
Yes I knew the dark wood was Walnut. I worked in a hardwood Mill for 13 years and ran several truckloads of Walnut flooring. I was just wondering about the lighter-colored wood. Thank you. Your work is awesome!
Awesome!! Players would feel like they're plotting a real war. :)). please make one with kings at highest point, like two mountains and battle zone (center) at lowest. this would be very close to reality. :)
If there would be an opposite shape of the board you made, when you put board's surfaces together they would be seemed like a cube. I think that would be interesting as this one. Very nice idea and job as well, thanks.
Very nice look and creative attitude :) - lastly i have also seen the pencil vase :). But remember - A1 on a chess board - the place you put the left (Queen's) white rook is black :) - on the screen the pieces are put not in order. But of course chess have ebony/ivory symmetry and it doesn't matter for the position which field has which colour. On the other hand in Holy-wood they always put A1, erronously, as a light field :).
Whoaaa! I happened on this by accident. You made this look easy and I honestly felt an oncoming headache just watching. I wish you would make to order bcuz I would definitely buy one!! Real work of art. I subscribed immediately.
Hey there, Andy! Thanks so much for giving me hope they I can own one of these. I sent a message to your Etsy address. Hope I got it right. We'll take it from there.
Why did u choose the corners as the highest point? It looked like the rooks are the most important piece. It looks great but if u choose the King's square instead then it would've been glorious
Thanks.. I used a ca glue to glue the blocks together ..the spray is an accelerator for the glue .. and then I coated the underside with a resin based glue ..cheers
Who cares how they are set up? The project is mesmerizing! Thanks for sharing your wonderfully creative mind. Inspiring indeed. Where is your Etsy site?
Thanks.. Lol I have had few people moaning about me setting them up wrong ..yes there is a video of making the pieces I think it's the next one and there is a link to my etsy on my channel I'm just in the process listing more pieces..cheers
another awesome build; should you ever decide to put out a how to on this let me know part1&2; "artistic" for me this is off the chart. keep up the good works
Wow 🤩... I came across your video unexpecting what I just saw. Your chessboard is truly a work of art. May I ask if you would consider creating one for purchase? If so, how can I contact you for more information?
I appreciate your time in responding Andy. New subscriber. Please notify me when this particular piece becomes available through your online shop. Definitely will be purchasing some of your other items online. Impressed by your customer reviews. Wishing you continued business success.
Do a 3d Star Trek three-shelf one next possibly. I think they have actual rules for that play maybe. Lol Nice job. [[Edit: gonna call you "Mr Nicely Convoluted", cus' that's impossible to imagine playing. Lmao 😮😂😂🎶 [[I agree, "High Ground for the center of the board". Maybe TWO center pieces on either end high though (King and Queen). A neat one though here. 🎶
Whoa! If you had two of them, they would fit together to make a cube ;)
Now you've got me thinking !!!
Thats right
Andy Phillip this is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen !
Hello, I watch u

Melinda Green great board for king of the hill!!

i have that kind of board, i got it from my uncle when he visit japan in 1990 :)
U mentle wtf gravity on your side cause your on a talller place stupid
Jon Greenleaf, You can't even use full sentences... So where does leave you? Even more stupid?
A couple passes through the planer and it'll be perfect. Kidding, that's amazing.
It looks gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but, actually playing Chess on it would be a bit of a pain, wouldn't it?
Thanks .. I do have a habit of making impractical things that look nice .. lol
Well, you are clearly good at it. Keep it up man!
Increased challenge
Board is just a place holder. Game is inside your head. :) Many chess players can play without a board at all! :D

Love it!

imagine adding a rule where you can only take a from the highground
it's over anakin
@@getmeoutoftheyoutubeservers, you beat me to it 6 months in advance! The force is strong with you, it seems. 🤔
Wow !!! That's one of the coolest things i've ever seen.
You got real skills.
I want one !!!♕♛♖♞♗🗿💰💚👍👍👍
Absolutely Breathtaking! The chess pieces and chess board are magnificent works of art! This whole set is incredible!
That's a different take on 3-D chess. I love it. Awesome.
Thankyou Thomas ..👍
it's MAGA baby!
Reminds me why I like final fantasy tactics
they traverse a mountain to war each other. i like how its not boringly measured as well, got some heart to it.
Thanks
Incredible! So much detail and such lovely finish and fitting together. If for sale in a chess shop or at Harrods this would be a 1000 Pound piece.
Fantastic! Obviously the "board" is amazing, but the trim finishes it off so beautifully. Well done.
Thanks
Wow! I always look forward to seeing your videos pop up on my feed. Never a disappointment.
That is a beautiful masterpiece! At first I was confused, then I caught on when you turned the board a certain angle. Definitely a board for masters that need a challenge. WOW!
I am absolutely speechless... what an amazing Artist you are !!!
Thankyou so much 👍
1 thing i dont realy like. But its minor. On each sides(black or white) there should be always a black square on your left hand side cuz it will most likely mess up common stratagies or openings.
Other than that good idea for a chess board but it will most likely be hard to play on it :)
Well spotted . I set the peices wrong it needs a quarter turn and the black square will be on left .. thanks 👍
remember white on right, the queen is always on her own color. that was bugging me also. awesome chess board
As a small school kid I was traumatised in basket weaving. Took it home the reception as kind of negative. This incredible wood-art gave me flash backs. Congratulations on beautiful woodwork and a excellent vid.
Thankyou
Amazing, awesome design gives u an added dimension on trying to visualize your moves.
nice job Andy, would have liked to analyze a game on that chess set 😅
Suren grggttgggggg
Thankyou. .. 👍
An 🐘 Bishop might fall on that thing.
A dubious comment 😃
Suren a dubious decision
Incredible work, and stunning forms! My brain hurts just thinking about playing on it!
Thanks Michael
Just watched the complete creation of this, 1 & 2. Interesting concept, very well done.
Thankyou ..👍
That puts chess at a whole new level!

Outstanding. DJT would LOVE THIS!
Andy, that is one of the coolest, most amazing things I have ever seen and I am totally adding that to my list of "must try" projects! Cheers!
Thankyou ..
If I was doing this I would have gone full nerd and made the most strategically valuable positions on the board the literal high ground.
Think its time I made another a few people have said that ..cheers
Stunning work of art.
Thankyou Matthew ..
Looks like over populated City! Amazing!
Yes I knew the dark wood was Walnut. I worked in a hardwood Mill for 13 years and ran several truckloads of Walnut flooring. I was just wondering about the lighter-colored wood. Thank you. Your work is awesome!
Thanks man 👍
dude, watching and especially listening to your stuff is therapeutic lol thank you! it's inspiring
That's great Alex glad you like it ..
dude... you seriously show some skills here
Thanks Pala ..
Amazing job Andy !!!!
Awesome!! Players would feel like they're plotting a real war. :)). please make one with kings at highest point, like two mountains and battle zone (center) at lowest. this would be very close to reality. :)
Great idea ..but my heads still hurts from making that one lol ...👍
I hope your pieces go into an art museum 😭😭😭💗
Wish I could have thought of this back in highschool, 1990's. Made a two level on as a gift. Light colored squares lower than dark ones.
I would love this for my living room! This is beautiful!!
Thanks Jonathan ...
Восхитительная идея и отличная реализация!
If there would be an opposite shape of the board you made, when you put board's surfaces together they would be seemed like a cube. I think that would be interesting as this one. Very nice idea and job as well, thanks.
Thankyou .. someone else has mentioned that good idea 👍
Simply amazing work (of art)!
Great job! High sides of the board should be white and Black for Kings. That could be more interesting. But anyway. That is awesome!
Thanks
Nice work, but i think if the shah(king) can be put on higher level than others may be look more significant.
Just simply stunning.
Very nice look and creative attitude :) - lastly i have also seen the pencil vase :).
But remember - A1 on a chess board - the place you put the left (Queen's) white rook is black :) - on the screen the pieces are put not in order. But of course chess have ebony/ivory symmetry and it doesn't matter for the position which field has which colour. On the other hand in Holy-wood they always put A1, erronously, as a light field :).
you set the pieces up incorrectly - there should be a white tile to the right of the pieces, not on the left.
Real nice work yet again, i really enjoy your channel
Thanks angus 👍
Noticed I was trying to tell u as if we were in same room but amazing both show and play
Whoaaa! I happened on this by accident. You made this look easy and I honestly felt an oncoming headache just watching. I wish you would make to order bcuz I would definitely buy one!! Real work of art. I subscribed immediately.
Hey there, Andy! Thanks so much for giving me hope they I can own one of these. I sent a message to your Etsy address. Hope I got it right. We'll take it from there.
Stunning!!!
My head hurts just looking at this. If I wasn't sure you were crazy before, I would be certain now.
Wow men, i want that board so bad, it's amazing. it's awsome.
Thanks Edwin ..
Nice video, that chess board looks awesome!
Thanks Johnathan ..
Looks gorgeous, but in the final shots, the white square should always be in the bottom right, not left.
Truly inspiring piece of art. Keep it up!
Thankyou Eduardo ..
Why did u choose the corners as the highest point? It looked like the rooks are the most important piece. It looks great but if u choose the King's square instead then it would've been glorious
quite amazing .. i wud like his autograph... genius !!
Thanks
very nice idea and well done.
Thanks Neil 👍
I'd like to see you do a Dali-esque chessboard that drips over the edge of the table.
I've been thinking I need to do a variation on this ..cheers
Magnificient!!
Thankyou ..
it is really fun. it would be perfect with more geometry effect and more design using maths.
Incredible!
Thanks Ashley 👍
Beautiful job, what kind of glue are you using ? And what is the spray you are using when you glue the pieces together ? Cheers
Thanks.. I used a ca glue to glue the blocks together ..the spray is an accelerator for the glue .. and then I coated the underside with a resin based glue ..cheers
Very cool. Keep breaking molds.
this is mesmerising to watch
Thanks Finn
AWESOME!
Thanks
Are you willing to share the lengths of the various cuts? Would love to build this with my kids!
I would do.. but I don't have it anymore ..sorry
Who cares how they are set up? The project is mesmerizing! Thanks for sharing your wonderfully creative mind. Inspiring indeed. Where is your Etsy site?
Thanks.. Lol I have had few people moaning about me setting them up wrong ..yes there is a video of making the pieces I think it's the next one and there is a link to my etsy on my channel I'm just in the process listing more pieces..cheers
Wow...such talent
Thankyou ..👍
Muito bonito! Você é um verdadeiro artista! Meus parabéns! Brasil.
Muito obrigado
try making another one where king is on the top ! it would look awesome. the sides going down and the kind in the centre is the highest
I've been thinking of making another cheers
What glue did you use to glue the squares together?
Could become an up-hill battle, don't you think? ;)
Lol ... or a downhill one !!
Either way, it's uphill for someone
another awesome build; should you ever decide to put out a how to on this let me know part1&2;
"artistic" for me this is off the chart. keep up the good works
Thanks Thomas .. I know 'how to' make one now I've made one if that makes sense. . It was a bit of a head scratcher ...👍
Wow Andy ! Absolutely beautiful
Thankyou 👍
Love it!!! Do you have a cut list for the 64 pieces of wood?
Thanks ..No, sorry
Spock would find it "fascinating". Thanks, Andy
LOL thanks Mike
Was this the inspiration of MIB INTERNATIONAL with the pawny scene?
Very interesting Andy, I would like to know how this one's played, I've played chess before.
This made my brain hurt. Brilliant.
LOL ..mine too
Wow 🤩... I came across your video unexpecting what I just saw. Your chessboard is truly a work of art. May I ask if you would consider creating one for purchase? If so, how can I contact you for more information?
Thanks Don .. Unfortunately I don't take custom orders but I sell some pieces in my etsy shop www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AndyPhillipHandmade?
I appreciate your time in responding Andy. New subscriber. Please notify me when this particular piece becomes available through your online shop. Definitely will be purchasing some of your other items online. Impressed by your customer reviews.
Wishing you continued business success.
Creative Mind.
Did you make the chess pieces yourself too?
How a guy took the pains of making a 3D chess set and then placed the pieces onto it incorrectly! ;D
Well done you passed the test !!
Is that some kind of spray glue using the pieces gluing together? Great job by the way .
thanks .. yes its a spray glue .. then I coated everything from underneath with a strong resin glue ..cheers
Do a 3d Star Trek three-shelf one next possibly.
I think they have actual rules for that play maybe. Lol
Nice job.
[[Edit: gonna call you "Mr Nicely Convoluted", cus' that's impossible to imagine playing. Lmao 😮😂😂🎶
[[I agree, "High Ground for the center of the board".
Maybe TWO center pieces on either end high though (King and Queen).
A neat one though here. 🎶
PS Do you have a video on making the chess pieces?
BEAUTIFUL
Thanks
I can't play chess but that's a great conversation piece
the Q*bert chess board
SuperDd40 WWG1WGA!
Its cool, but the top should be where the kings stand, not on the corners, that way makes it look like the most important piece is the rooks
Very nice, but you always set your pieces considering the white square at the right side, also, the queen start on her own colour square
Thanks Sorin .. I realised I'd set the pieces wrong not long after posting the video..
Did you makw the chess pieces yourself too?
Yes there is a video of me turning them
+Andy Phillip Ahhhh, must of overlooked that, will watch, keep up the excellent work.
Good work
Thanks Jose
Nice work
I love what you make,just found your channel! What is the table saw you use?
Thanks James ..its a charnwood w619
Where did you learn such precision work..? Quite amazing
Thanks man .. think it's my OCD !!
nice, may I ask what rattle can did you used to spray on the 3d chess board at the end of video? Thanks and I am in middle of making a chess board!
Its a gloss spray lacquer .. I wanted something hard wearing to cope with the pieces moving about on it ..cheers
thanks for reply dewd!
WOW! Amazing!!
Thankyou
