York Chess Club member, Tim Myers, of Thomasville, was featured in a recent TikTok video that has received more than 2.1 million views!
In the video, posted by user knuckles717, Tim is giving lawn-tractor-train rides to some kids at a church fair held last weekend. Tim built the train cars, ramps, and tunnels himself. Watch the background toward the end of the video to see some chess piece sculptures Tim also made, including a 12′ tall steel king!
Here’s another video by the same user with a first-person view of the ride.
Tim is a former tractor mechanic who is now using the tools and skills of his trade to make art. His chess sculptures have been posted on this blog before.
