      +Ashish Patel I will admit though the whole thing out of metal would have looked awesome.

    • @DataStorm1
      @DataStorm1 8 років тому +12

      +Ashish Patel Yeah, would have loved to see a Brass vs Aluminum set or some made by Diresta. I've seen once a gold and silver cast set... on a very tiny chessboard...

    • @OldAndGettingOlder
      @OldAndGettingOlder 8 років тому +13

      I was slightly bummed when I realized he was making molds. Still, a very nice set of pieces. I'm sure there are none better.

    About two years ago, I randomly came across one of Jimmy's videos on youtube. The mirror frame. I had nothing to do with woodworking or craftsmanship whatsoever and had never touched a power tool in my life. I was so inspired that I decided to give it a try, bought a jigsaw and started playing with recycled wood found in the streets.
    I loved it so much I decided to work hard and try to make this my next job.
    Before my 28th birthday next year I'll quit my job and try to start a little furniture business.
    The little I know I've learned from his videos. The rest I'll figure out.
    Thanks Jimmy for the inspiration and helping me figure out what I really wanted to do with my life.

    • @clarkinbabylon
      @clarkinbabylon 8 років тому +1

      +pikachu1324 The metal that you are 'cutting' with simply needs to be harder than the metal being cut. Steel is harder than brass. Yeah, it was a creative tool idea, right?!

    Clickspring and Diresta are two different things. You can see Jimmy is an artist, freehand work on the lathe. Clickspring is obviously a precision Engineer with good workshop processes, by the book.Both are mesmerising and Ive seen all their videos. Both are to be admired and respected.

  • @tummy_fritters
    @tummy_fritters 8 років тому

    Awesome set, Jimmy. What I like about this project in particular is that you've shown how a craftsman can take hold of an efficient means of production like casting. For a person trying to make a living with their art, this sort of thing is a hell of a boon. The fact that everything is produced in house maintains the artisanal aspect that people love about handmade and craftsman-made items. You're fun to watch but you're also an inspiration!

    i really wanted to read through all the comments so i didn't ask the same question but there are just so many so please forgive me if this has been asked.
    why go through the trouble to make the metal (brass) pieces if your just going to make plastic molds?
    wouldn't it be alot easier and cheaper to use wood or something easier to work with?
    i only ask because i wanted to try some molding myself and just wondering ,also king of intimidating if i had to go with a metal master copy.
    thanks

      +James Delvechio i used brass bc the finish would be better than wood .. and i wanted more machine / mill lathe experience. only way to learn is to do. Thank You!

    This is a really awesome idea! Just curious, what's the pressure cooker-looking thing for? Does it add pressure or is it a vacuum?

    • @jimmydiresta
      @jimmydiresta  8 років тому +14

      +Ed McKenna Jr pressure eliminates (most) air bubbles.. Thank you !!

    • @thesnowedone
      @thesnowedone 8 років тому +1

      +jimmydiresta I know the guys here do the opposite and use a vaccum to get rid of bubbles but they have a clear perspex front on their vaccum chamber so they know when it has stopped bubbling that they will have the perfect mold cast. I like your method though too - less watching/monitoring required.

      the mold material and the resin is muy expensiveo

  • @Vixolent
    @Vixolent 8 років тому +4

    Why not clay? or any other form of mold-able material like wax? were you more confident in this method? First watching i thought the whole set would be made the same way with metal... non the less it looks awesome, but a handmade set of chess pieces all made individual would be so good :o
    great stuff though! :)

    • @mrolafdotcom
      @mrolafdotcom 8 років тому

      I think he chose brass for looks. In other words it would have taken lots more time for a complete metal set. Even though used for molds he still now has the brass pieces that look cool and he can keep on the shelf.

    • @spikebarnett
      @spikebarnett 8 років тому +2

      +Vixolent I might be wrong on this, but I suspect you could get more castings out of a brass master than a clay master.

    • @bittermanbrewing
      @bittermanbrewing 8 років тому +1

      +Vixolent I think Jimmy just likes playing with new tools. He just got the lathe and he talked about trying to improve his skills on it. No better way than making some small, intricate pieces. I could be wrong though.

    • @clarkinbabylon
      @clarkinbabylon 8 років тому

      +Bitterman Brewing THANK YOU! Now THAT sounds like the most reasonable answer. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why make originals in such a laborious manner only to cast the final pieces. I'd have made them out of clay, for God's sake!

    I know this is an old video, so forgive me. Jimmy, you, my good man, are not only a skilled craftsman, but anyone that can freehand cut away the parts of brass round stock that are NOT a chess knight, with a bandsaw, is a true, world-class artist. My hat is off to you.

    I at first thought you were going to hand craft every piece out of metal, but then sighed with relief when I discovered they were for molding. The pieces look great.
