Making a Box to Hold Chess Pieces
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This box is made of walnut and has solid brass hardware and a green felt liner. The hardware is from Brusso and I used a danish oil finish. The outer dimensions of the box are roughly 14" x 7" x 4.25". The top and bottom panels are book matched and the sides have a 4 sided grain match.
This was my first time installing mortised hinges and a mortised latch. The process wasn't too difficult after working on a few test pieces to perfect the fit. If you have any questions about the build, feel free to ask in the comments. Thanks for watching!

That stick spacer trick blew my mind. I've wrestled with that several times when cutting boxes...
Ya it comes in handy!
I am watching this video again. The jig for the latch was taped down onto the box and that took a lot of faith that it would not slip while the router was doing it's thing. That shows all experience comes great things.
As someone in Coconut Creek who's been working on learning fine woodworking, it's nice to know that it's a craft alive and kicking in this corner of south FL. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you very much! Gotta rep sofla!
Beautiful work ...impressive! Nice assortment of woodworking tools.
Awesome! The wood looks great and the brass was the perfect choice.
Thanks Keith!!
Awesome craftsmanship, the video was great with just enough detail squeezed in without making the video too long..... really liked the look of the hardware used
Thanks!!
love the box and I have to say I love that style of a latch. Nicely made.
Thank you pebbleman.
Beautiful box. Thanks for sharing.
This is art my friend. Great work!
A real pleasure to watch. Your work is so precise. Looking forward to your next project :-)
Thank you Maria!
Another great project. Kudos on a great-looking box.
Thank you Michael!
Love the latch click, nice work!
Would you sell one? I got a 4.2 king set
That's a cool looking box.Gotta have some cool looking chess pieces. Thx man.
Thanks Tony!
This is gorgeous

Nice work, I enjoyed watching
Thank you Lemongrasspicker!
Nice touch on the chamfers
Beautiful job my friend.
Thank you Opa!
Nicely done!
Thank you Harry!
Beautiful
Great job!!!
Thanks Will!
re: chamfer at about 6:40. The chamfer removes the fragile corner wood that's inevitably going to be dinged and damaged. Removing it now prevents splinters later.
Nice job, box looks great. Good video too!
Tom, thanks a lot!!
Good tip on the tape on the bushing... hope I can remember it.
Thanks John. I was surprised how big a difference one piece of tape could make.
Very nice box!
Thanks Crichly!
Very, very nice job, friend( sorry, I don´t know your name yet ). Fantastic wood as well as the quality of the solid brass hardware. That one in front of the box ( to close/open it )( lid lock ) is amazing. Heartfelt congratulations.
Thank you very much Marcus. My name is John. Thanks for your comment!
Nice!
Hey man great project. I'm excited to see your channel only appears to be 6 mos old and 8k subs. You make nice projects and the video is awesome. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow
Thanks a lot Mike!
Nice box and build we have the same expensive taste in "marking knives" lols
Very Nice build!
Старик, твой закадровый голос, как у пилота в самолете)))) Работа- класс!
Belo trabalho, parabéns!!!!
Very nice
YOU TALK!!?! It was nice to hear your commentary! Also, that box is gorgeous. But where was the brand? I love the brand!
Hahaha. I do talk! Been giving the voiceovers a shot. The inside of the lid had a personalized engraving along with my brand but I didn't show it for privacy reasons. I'll be sure to get the brand in there soon!
Honestly, what I liked best about the commentary is the little details like what kind of finish you used, or why you did a seemingly decorative thing like chamfering the edge of the lid. Great stuff. By the way, where did you get your brand made? I'd like to do something similar
Thanks again Matt. I got the iron made from Terry at brandingirons (dot) biz. I have flame brand but would consider the electric version if I ever buy another.
Beatiful...!
Did you freehand the mortise for the hinges with the router? Their templates are crazy money...
Beautiful work! Can you tell us a bit more about the grooves for the panels? It looks like you cut grooves in both the sides and the panel. I expected a tongue cut on the panel. Is the bottom 'tongue' of the panel's groove floating inside the groove on the sides? Is that how you get the raised relief on the panel? And is it a different configuration on the bottom panel? I don't think I've ever seen a panel like that! GO GATORS!
Have you ever tried Flocking Powder? Been waiting to try it, gives a much cleaner look and no seams. It’s on Amazon.
Cool box, LOOVE those Brusso hinges and catch (can't afford them tho :( )
Thank you Rob!
That would be perfect for my chess pieces
Cigar box next? 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not a bad idea!
Just made one myself, hardest part for me was making the box air tight to keep humidity, it is a very cool thing to make though!
What is the name of that latch. Very cool.
nice af
Have you ever tried the felt you blow in?
Hi I was wondering where you sourced your latch? It’s really cool & Art Deco. Also please where you got your glue dispenser? I stumbled across your page after searching how to store my favorite chess pieces, (my grandpa’s) before my kids lose it by miraculously managing to open every drawer in the house. I immediately loved your craftsmanship!!!!!!
Thanks! The latch is from Brusso. The glue dispenser is called a glue bot.
Awesome
Thanks Frederic!
Great!
This is well done. Nice job. Normally one does not place a $5 set of plastic pieces in such a box. What set is going in there, and how would you prevent the pieces from eroding one another?
The client told me they are called "Best Chessmen Ever." They look like a nice, high quality set. I don't think the box is going to see heavy travel, maybe a little bit. But I don't think the pieces rubbing on each other will cause any issues.
Super!
Nice work. Really impressed. I'm just getting started, looking for the right machines, what's the brand of the table saw you have, it seems to be a good size.
Thanks Anders. I have a 3hp Sawstop PCS.
Maravilha!
Another nice project, what is your source for the wood that you use?
Thanks Tim. Lately I've been getting most of my wood down in Miami from a place called Whittlesey Wood Products; its more of a large scale warehouse but they'll sell to small guys like us too.
Do you personalised orders? Would love to get my hand on a box like this.
I do! This was actually a personalized order. Message me through youtube or find my contact page on parillaworks.com.
Great Box ! have 2 quick questions - Do you sale these? what's the best glue you'd recommend to attach felt to wood? I have some chess pieces I would like re-felt and a chessboard the bottom of which I'd like to cover with premium felt. - Thanks a lot
Thanks! I don't keep them in stock, but I do make them to order. Gluing felt is difficult because the felt wants to absorb everything. I ended up wrapping the felt over 1/8" hardboard using double sided tape to secure it. Then I glued the hardboard to the wood. You can use contact cement but like I said, the felt absorbs it so you may have to apply a few coats before securing everything.
Thanks for the tips !
Nice box. Where do you get the latch from?
Thank you. The latch is from Brusso Hardware.
That is a great job. I see you use the Incra box joint jig?.. how would you rate it? I'm trying to decide if I should buy that one or try to make the Matthias Wandel version...
Thanks Rick. It's a pretty good jig and easy to calibrate. I'm not super interested in building complex jigs that require precision. Though I think the Wandel version shines in batching out pieces. The Incra jig can't really do more than one piece at time.
Where can I buy that latch?
Brusso.com
@@parillaworks thank you
nice box, how long did It take from start to finish?
Thanks J.D. I'd say it was a 25-30 hour build. I would probably go a bit quicker if I had to make it a second time.
Don't rough cut things with a nice saw man!! 🙈🙈🙈
😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Супер!
Futzing hehe
I'm expanding my vocabulary. :)
I'm an idiot I used my marking knife to try and cut popsicle sticks to make a training butterfly knife (I'm an amateur carpenter)
How much to make me one
Shoot me an email if you're interested in a custom box and we can discuss details.

sexy
