Greetings Chris! Thank you for your comment. I like making the video about ordinary thing I do. It is fun. Cheers.

Cip's Wood Chips Look forward to the next one.

Howdy Jim! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Cheers.

Howdy Bram! Thanks, it is so difficult for me to make two things alike. This was fun. Cheers

Howdy Tomas! This was fun to do. Thanks for watching. I hope to do a follow-up soon. Cheers

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey there JP! Fun to do. All the Best.

😎

Little has changed but I still like my earliest video the most. Everything was new to me. All the Best.

Howdy Hugh! You can't get more classic wood turning than chess pieces. Thanks for watching. Kind Regards.

Howdy John! Thank you for your comment, cheers.

@@CipsWoodChips where do you get the screw chuck?

​@@Believer78a This screw chuck is from Sears. I bought it over 50 years ago. I have a video you should see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9tzda6Z2auYcWQ.html I talks about many different types. Cheers.

@@CipsWoodChips Thanks

Howdy Pastor! Thank you for watching. It was a fun project! Kind regards.

Howdy Brian! Yes, I should have started a little further away from the base. I will keep that in mind for next time. Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment. Cheers.

Howdy Brent! Thank you very much! Cheers.

Greeting Hizo64HH! Sorry, I wish I could do videos all the time. Cheers

Howdy Jack! Thanks for watching. I hope to have a follow-up out there soon. I just realized no one makes screw chuck like the one I used. Cheers.

Thank you for watching.

Thanks Chris!

Anytime.

Howdy Pen Ninja! Thanks for the info! You are more likely to be right than me. Cheers

@@CipsWoodChips Your idea of using poplar was a good one. It's a nice white wood without too much visible grain, so it's a good substitute for boxwod in this application. I'm still marvelling at how closely you managed to match the shape of the original pawn. Excellent work!

Thank you for your kind comment.

Howdy Dale! Wow! I just realized how old I am. I purchased this screw chuck a very long time ago from Sears & Robuck Co. along with my first set of Chraftman wood turning chisels. I searched the Internet: Amazon, Penn State Pens, Sears, Woodcraft, and Ebay. I could not find any like mine. Today they are all made from small faceplates that tread onto the arbor. This results in a very large base or disk, but they will work. Kind regards.

Thanks Sip. Looks like it may be time to call my machine shop buddy to make me one. I've seen the face plate version but I wanted one like yours.

I drew the plans only for the pawn from chess sets I have or seen. It is a drawing, not a CAD. Send an email to cipmendez19@gmail.com and I will send you the PDF. Kind Regards.

Hola James! Gracias.

Howdy Waterboy! My brother though it looked good. I wish it was a black pawn. That would be easier to match. Kind Regards.

Howdy John! This a very old screw chuck. I bought it at Sear Robuck about 50 years ago. They were very common then. Some turners mount a cutoff wood screw in a Jocob's chuck. Kind regards.

Howdy Calvin! I wish I could make that pawn for your father-in-law. You might look for someone locally. Cheers.

Howdy Kenta! Growing up we played checker, chess, and many other board games. Its been a long time since I played a game of chess, cheers.

ok cool 👍👍👍👍

ok cool 👍👍👍👍👍

Greeting Hugh! Love your comment. It made my day. I started turning wood in 9th grade public school. I've been doing it on and off since then. Making the videos makes it even more fun. Cheers.

Bonjour Jacguy! Merci.
