This is why I never even tried to make a chess set; anybody can make a pawn, etc. But the knight is something that simple copying from a template CAN NOT produce - it takes an artist! I salute the beauty of his work and I even admire the simple equipment he uses to produce these beautiful pieces!
Thatsright Jack. If you're careful, then there is no reason why you should lose any of your fingers. Only idiots like you would lose fingers on power tools.
Pushes wood against sanding wheel for a few seconds; gets out a "rough" horse shape that's better than I can do in an hour of whittling. What a talent!
@@hanyelrouby8596 Each pawn cost £1000 The King and Queen are £2000 each Bishops are £1500 a piece Knight cost £3000 a piece Rook cost £1800 a piece John Wallace had to sell his family into slavery in order to buy the whole chess set. But it was worth it.
Your chess pieces are far superior in material, design, overall shape and style than any others I have seen on the market. I bet they have a great feel and weight to them. Kudos to you all
Your skill and dedication to such fine work is very inspiring. As a professional woodworker for over 40 years I thank you for sharing what you do in this short video. It is inspirational and I hope that it expanded your customer base in other parts of the world.
You are certainly a modern Michelangelo of the chess creation craft. The fact that each piece is created with human contact and not a CNC machine surely will resonate from the piece to your hand. However, I think my game will suffer as my main focus will be on the beauty of the pieces. While in Spain many years ago I bought a set (wooden, as they should be in my opinion) and thought it was nice - after watching your video I think that set might become firewood after I find and get one of yours! No, I’d better reconsider that firewood thing as I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable actually playing with your set, let alone allowing someone else to handle it. Absolutely fantastic work!!
The unique and original creators of the first version of Chess. A thousand years later and they continue to sharpen the prodigious game that originated in their lands.
Mr. Saggu’s 90’s Kasparov championship Chavet in distressed boxwood is the beloved relic in my humble dwelling. The hand signed certificate of authenticity is a charming touch.
Congratulations! The people of India make the most beautiful chess pieces I've ever seen. 👍I have several sets. I'm so happy I found your video. I've scoured you tube for several days hoping to find one showing the craftsmen making the pieces. Keep the great work. You have beautiful and wonderful talent! 👍
Very lovely chess pieces made with great skill.I have now got a boxwood Staunton set...most probably made by you in the home of chess..India.Thanks for posting and making them.Master craftsmen at work.
Very impressive! I have handled many wooden chess sets, but I did not truly appreciate the amazing care and artistry that goes into making each piece of these elaborate sets. Great work!
I recently bought the chess pieces you made on the Queen of Chess website. I would like to congratulate you for the beautiful work. I live in Brazil, in the State of Bahia, in the city of Salvador. I wish everyone success. A big hug.
Very beautiful craftsmanship also very clean craftsmanship in very careful And very clean Craftsmanship wonderful work I would love to buy one of your chess sets
Спасибо вам за ваше мастерство! Какая точность! Я узнал некоторые ваши секреты* попробую ими воспользоваться ' ещё раз большое спасибо и удачи вам во всех делах!
Trust me, they are lol. I've purchased almost $1,000 worth of two boxes of chess pieces and a chess board. Once you've actually seen the bud rosewood and ebony chess pieces IN PERSON, you'll be blown away. To me, they DEFINITELY are worth the money.....and they last a lifetime!! 👍👍
I used to do woodcraft with a dremel, but to this is different, to craft these pieces in exactly the same way requires a great deal of skill and patience.
I want to tell you that you are the one making the best pieces in the world right now. I hope one day I’ll be able to afford one of your set. Your sets are literally the best sets in the world
Really good skill, wood and chess sets. Have now purchased three of the 5" Staunton (chessbazaar?) sets in the 5" range and gave two out as gifts. The very best. Hats off to you craftsmen.
I want you to make a chess elephant Can you make a chess elephant and how much does it cost I want four pieces every two in a color to be used in chess
He gives me his secrets and still no way I can do it. What an amazing artist to create such beautiful pieces! It would be a great accomplishment for me to create the board deserving of these pieces sitting on them.
I have heard there is a problem harvesting ebony sustainably, but not all natural ebony is black, and so if the other ebony was not wasted, it would be possible for ebony harvesting to be sustainable. This was in connection with its use in violins, but it would also apply to other uses.
Very Hard to make chess Coins as Business, Your Interest and involvement made it possibe to create great quality chess set. great work

Belíssimas peças, em verdade as mais belas que já vi, é admirável a qualidade do trabalho, o cavalo é muito realista, detalhado de forma excepcional!!! Só as condições de trabalho e quesito segurança é que me dão calafrios!!!! Sr quando vais lançar outro vídeo desse?
I got the Arthurian Luxury chess set from Mandeep Singh Saggu as a gift for my father-in-law new house party. He himself built an great wood chessboard several years ago. The intrincate artwork of these asian pieces is exquisite. A incredible gift to an able wood worker to say the least!
I am a big chess fan and woodcraft lover... and I have seen many nice wooden chess pieces.... the chess Knight is proof of just how good the craftsmanship is.... and you sir did a most excellent job! You are a master of your craft! Thank you for the beautiful video!
Hello Mandeep! Thank you for your great skill and focused attention on every detail of each chess piece. I am a recent customer of yours, and I love the chess set you and your craftsmen have made for me. I was admiring the set I received today in the mail, and thought to myself, how can these be made by hand with such precision.. so I went online to see if anyone shows the process, and there you were! You do master level carving! I love the knight on my Alexandrian set, and each of the other pieces as well. I shall enjoy them for years to come. So do you play a lot of chess with your friends there in India? Do you play online or a casual game by email? Thanks again for your craftsmanship!
You, Sir, are a true Artist! When money frees up, I plan on buying 4 sets. One for me and 3 of my boys that love the game of chess. It may be a while though.
I also greatly appreciate how you weight your pieces for a good quality. Fantastic work my friend. I can see the care and passion that you have for your work. It shows in your product!
Beautiful workmanship. Great to see someone else using calipers on a live piece to set the diameter. Exactly how I work with a lathe. Interested to know how you check the scraper profiles after sharpening. Does each sharpening produce a slight variation in sets I wonder so you make sure to sharpen only between sets?
Bardzo podobają mi się szachy zrobione przez Was. Szczególnie podoba mi się wyrzeźbiona głowa konia (skoczka). Powiedz proszę z jakiego gatunku drewna jest zrobiona. Chciałbym spróbować wyrzeźbić taka głowę skoczka, ale chciałbym aby była z tego samego gatunku drewna co wyrzeźbiona przez Ciebie. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Warszawy.
Truly an artist. Can you imagine doing that all day every day? Bought an ebony/boxwood set of pieces for $249. Seems inexpensive now after seeing the video.

I recently purchased a set of 1849 from Staunton Castle, excellent quality. Cut out the outrageous mark-up from the 'Official' Chess set makers and buy direct
Although I'm concerned not only by the non-compliance of the safety standards used in making the chess set but also the tools you used seems to be vintage? Moreover, you have actually revealed the process of making knights which till now is a top-secret ingredient in Indian chess industry. I'm a chess collector and have bought many items. Good luck!
@@francoisdufour5928 Several places. I ordered one or two from USCF's shop. I also had one ordered for my brother from etsy.com The others I don't recall. They were from sites like chess house, and house of staunton.

The cause of cracks seems to be the metal weight inside the chess pieces according to many. Also how can we distinguish between genuine and fake ebony and padauk?
If I played With those knights, I would resign immediately if my knight is taken.
This is why I never even tried to make a chess set; anybody can make a pawn, etc. But the knight is something that simple copying from a template CAN NOT produce - it takes an artist! I salute the beauty of his work and I even admire the simple equipment he uses to produce these beautiful pieces!

John Shaposka, While I agree this man's work is beautiful and he is indeed a talented artist, that is no reason for you not to try!
Many thanks Sir

I bought one of your chess sets six months ago. Absolutely spectacular! Glad to get to see how it was made. It was expensive but well worth the price.
How much it cost you?

Each pawn cost £1000
The King and Queen are £2000 each
Bishops are £1500 a piece
Knight cost £3000 a piece
Rook cost £1800 a piece
John Wallace had to sell his family into slavery in order to buy the whole chess set. But it was worth it.

What is the solution for repairing when ebony and padauk chess pieces start developing cracks after a while, usually after 3-4 months?
Hi, there is not any solution for the cracks ok ebony padouk. But in our chess sets we don't face this problem.
The cause of cracks seems to be the metal weight inside the chess pieces according to many. Also how can we distinguish between genuine and fake ebony and padauk?
