Chess set plans for the lathe
In article ,

If I could answer the original question here, instead of joining in an
ascerbic session of mud slinging, I do have a web site with a good chess
set, i.e. with a good knight pattern. However, your library might have
one. David Springett's book, "Adventures in Woodturning, Techniques and
Projects," has such a set complete with a turned knight's head made from
a split ring. This is not a beginner's project but is certainly doable.
I believe the book is out of print but, as are all Springett's books, is
a good read.
do a google search on either split-ring or ring turning. there are a few
sites with much info about that. Seems to me that a fairly simple blank
could be setup using dark and light woods, turn the knight in the ring,
then slice them out. You may wind up with a dozen instead of just 4, so
plan on making a few extra sets for your chess-playing buddies.
