Steve, I have been watching you since your chess board video. I have had two brain surgeries since then and and was a woodworker...before. I love you and your videos, you have inspired me, and Jay is awesome too. I'm happy you have gotten together. I have been scared to comment cause i might get something wrong but I had my wife fix this for me. With her help, and your inspiration, I am finally getting back to doing what I love. Thank you.

Now, make one-square-long walls, and cut out little motorcycle shapes the same thickness as the walls, so they'll slot into the grooves, and each player's turn = moving the cycle forward or left or right one space, and placing a wall behind.

@DenisRyan 9 жыл бұрын

Totally! I play it with the kids I work with, aged 6-12yrs, and they all love it. The 6 yr olds take great pleasure in beating me. Because it plays so fast, they'll play again and again until they win. I never cheat them by letting them win, but they do regularly spot a move that destroys my strategy, and beating my honestly feels so good for both of us.

Hey Steve, I can tell by your enthusiasm about chess that you'd love to make all those pawns and other duplicate pieces by hand! ........ well maybe not, ... but if you check out jimmy diresta's stuff he has a pretty good way to only have to make a single piece and then duplicate them. they don't all come out as wooden parts, but its an easy way out of having to lathe a whole bunch of identical parts.
