Hi, I really liked your " refelting video" , but comments were turned off on that video and I just wanted to ask a question: Have you used SUEDE or Feau LEATHER on the bottom of any sets??? Some suede has a nice tight structure and cuts well --like a billiard cloth material, but is smoother--- what do you think of using suede? Do you have any recommendations on the "Feau leather idea! I apologize for asking on this videom, its just there was no way to ask on your "refelting video"--- that was a great help and I learned a lot and have have a lot of success in refelting my own pieces!! Thank you !

Great videos. I especially like the chess boards you have, even though they are not the main character. Would you know which types of wood this board is made of? Thanks

I’m a drummer, new to antique chess sets, you remind me of Chris Slade. Great channel, you are an excellent teacher in my opinion. Hopefully I can purchase a set from you one day. Thank you 🙏

This guy is a nut, complaining about the poor condition the pieces are in and then he throws around in boxes, even the set he restored. Is that a beer in the window?

even my 3.75 inch chess set seems too large, how on earth are these guys producing 4.5??
@conjured_up_skeletons6178
@conjured_up_skeletons6178 4 месяца назад
Hello. Jaques originals were 3.50 & 4.4”. Four inch king was produced later but idk how much later. I agree with you, 4.4 is gigantic and I suspect they made it to be more a showpiece size. 3.5 is a compact playable size I take to club.

Another interesting video. Wondering how you strip the finish off pieces, especially in all the little nooks & crannies of the knights? Thanks.
