Chess Set

One of the first projects I built years ago was the chess set in a book I got with my shopsmith, but I can't remember which one. I need to make another set for a customer at work. Does anyone know what book I'm trying to think of? It's a turned set. Thanks for any help you might give.

Wow, you know, I have always wanted to make a chess set. My dad made one out of ceramic when I was little, and i would love to make one of wood. Maybe a couple sets. One for Dad, and one for the brother in law.

I have looked at sets for doign this on my scroll saw, but I think I like this idea alot better.
