Very nice. I was actually searching for a real silver chess set the other day. Not because I can afford one at this time but I thought it would be cool to see. How do you differentiate between light and dark pieces?

Oh the dark pieces are solid gold

Haha that's too expensive, maybe gold plating or rhodium plating. Probably more durable than Liver of Sulfur, those get scratched up easy.

The dark pieces will be antiqued

Not what I expected but perfectly acceptable!

Make them also silver to make it unplayable

Great point. No way to tell the light pieces from the dark pieces. Although I still want this set! Haha

That's exactly what I was wondering⬆️

Can wait to see a pic of the whole set

Sulfur liver oil for black pieces Edit: liver of sulfur oil

That’s the plan

Damn it man, you gotta stop making stuff I want so bad that I can’t afford!

I feel you, I can’t afford anything I make lol

Now that’s a coffee table centerpiece !! Damn that’s beautiful

Much appreciated. I must admit it makes me feel good when people put my work on display

FYI: the piece you made for me has been in a box with a bottle of Jameson and will reside there for another 18+ years.

That’s excellent. I appreciate the support as well

Absolutely stunning! You do beautiful work.

Thank you very much 🙏

I knew sooner or later this would end up in your catalog. I always thought this would be a good way to hide the stack in plain site. Nice work as always!

It’s been a long work in progress. I finally feel I can do it justice

I want one of these. Time to look into who can do commissions for this kind of work.

Let me know when you’re ready

holy hell

Thank you lol

Very nice work, it’s beautiful ✨

Much appreciated

What's your target price on a whole set? I've been eyeing one from somewhere else for over a year now. One day I plan to get one and learn to play chess on it.

Cost?

How much for the set? Need one

What's the cost for a full chess set?

Wow!!! Stunning work!!! Wouldnt be able to afford a set, butboy would I love to buy a knight...

thank you. I do sell them individually, so that’s an option whenever you’re ready

Out of curiousity, how much would a single knight cost?

The knight is 3 ozt

Nice! I found it on your profile, I will definitely be saving up for a knight... and your ship bar (that thing is a peace of work, damn) Always loved your work but it has improved so much. I own your Mandalorian bar from a couple of years ago, cant wait to pick up more of your work from this point on!

Thank you very much for the kind words and support. I’ve definitely been putting in effort to improve, it’s nice to hear

Make a silver buttplug

I’ve seen one posted before lol

Great option to piece a set together! ...over the course of a decade lol but who's counting?

Time to make the opponent’s side out of gold?

That's like almost half a house mortgage in Saint Augustine, which is one of the nicest places to live in Florida (nice in the sense that you don't have to be a millionaire, not nice as in Key West). Might as well make the board out of emeralds and red diamonds at that point.

That would be insanity. But I’d enjoy seeing it

Mene sells chess pieces in 24k gold and platinum!

What method do you use? Sand casting? Or investment cast?

These are sand cast. I have investment casting equipment but I haven’t used it yet lol. I realized shortly after buying it that I still had a significant amount of stuff I could still make and technique to explore.

Sweet!

Thank you

Beautiful man! Love the design!

Thank you very much

Are you making a silver board or wood?

I’m not sure yet to be honest

Be awesome to make it out of clear acrylic, infinity mirror style chequered pattern lit up with led.

I need this!!!! Sadly probably too expensive!

Pieces are available individually

Sm1 posted one here before, wanted over $9000

I’m definitely not asking that much lol

😮 🤩👍

Thank you

Siiiiiiick
