Chessboard making: Here’s the secret!

Hello Everyone,

Wood chessboards are fascinating but it seems pretty tedious that 64 blocks of wood can be glued up together with precision. In fact, it’s a task in itself to cut 64 squares of the exact same size.

How would it be possible then to align all those cubes in alternating dark and light colour into a smooth-finish chessboard?

Well there’s a technique to it. And, here’s this nice video revealing the ‘secret’! Remember we told you first about it. Enjoy.
