Improvements to my Dubrovnik Chess Sets

[@ladmike]

Gabriel, you are magnificent, a modern day Da Vinci . I can't thank you enough for this amazing 4"Dubrovnik 1950 Olympiad set. The only one of its kind. This is the most accurate and exact replica of the Dubrovnik Olympiad set ever made .

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks Mike. That means a lot.

[@ladmike]

You're welcome Gabriel!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I enjoyed watching this and your first video. I turned a couple of sets of two different styles and got an article published in the Feb 2020 issue of the American Woodturner on turning chess sets.

[@philipfitzsimons5924]

Fantastic work well done

[@AJ-nr8cg]

That's a seriously good looking set! Nice work!

[@jakobmorningstar]

This is amazing work. Maybe next set you reproduce could be the 1851 Staunton set (with stamped kingside pieces)! Such a classic design

[@1Raphael]

👍👍 AWESOME really nicely done thanks for sharing..

[@-johnny-deep-]

Dude, you've got some serious skills! At first I hated the Dubrovnik design, but I've grown to love it. I know the authentic Dubrovnik sets weren't weighted and didn't have felt on the bottom, and definitely prefer both weights and felt.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

The Wood Duplicator is an amazingly good idea!

[@chrisjovan]

You could use a template too.

[@Ronbo710]

Fantastic attention to detail !! Thank You for making the Dubrovnik knights look perfect. Most companies make unicorns !!

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks a lot Ronbo!

[@Kubooxooki]

Amazing job!

[@Tiras_Larapios]

Wonderful work!

[@Ocfarmer]

Pretty awesome work

[@GabrielCoss]

Thank you.

[@pikagelaum]

Nice work, sir

[@GabrielCoss]

Thank you

[@jgardner1984]

Mr. Coss, I know the question has already been asked and people have made requests, but should you decide to sell future sets (we are all hoping you do and envious of Mr. Ladzinski's commissioned set - it is a stunner!), please let me know how I can put my name on your list. Your craftsmanship is absolutely second to none. Keep up the fantastic work and Happy Holidays!

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks Justin. I'll keep you in mind when I have one for sale.

[@MujoNovak]

Queens crown and Knight shape defines if any set is brilliant or ugly!

[@cucurulo1945]

Great job cngratulations! hope you make the best replica of the Dubronik for USA!

[@KronosPR1]

I'll love to buy a set from you! Do you still make them??

[@tenzinite]

I keep coming back to this video let me know if you ever have a set for sale 🥵

[@ajedrezymas8859]

really interesting, thanks for this nice video. Could you explain how do you make the wood brilliant, i dont know what is the process to polish the wooden.

[@ragnorak56]

Are you still making Dubrovnik sets or taking orders?

[@kalyana9705]

Have you considered using cnc machine to make the knights? Would be much easier to create duplicates

[@cucurulo1945]

Gabriel what price are you selling them or will be selling them for? I will love to have one. thank you!

[@davesdream]

Beautiful !!

[@tenzinite]

Let me know if you ever make a set for sale!

[@roxyknight4909]

How do I buy one ? Regards Roxy from New Zealand

[@Muttleydoggo]

Great job, great detail. Mike L is a great guy :) I'd buy this set (at 3.75 though). Prefer the original knights, but that's just me.

[@johnhendy1281]

Can you elaborate on the details you notice between the two? I have been studying the knights quite a bit and half the time see variations in what I think are original photos at Noj and BCE, as well as slight variations in Noj's own pictures. The clip at around 7:20 is helpful. Definition in cheek inset, mouth, and the eyes stand out to me. Anything else that catches your eye?

[@neliahermida1190]

Do you have your video about how to lead weights

[@hpy2101]

PLEASE, Do you have any sets for sale???

[@dancer9110]

Did u at least make a chess board though and please a good one

[@b3asle551]

Really amazing work. Do you have any available for sale at the moment?

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks KB. Not at the moment but hopefully next year.

[@b3asle551]

@@GabrielCoss Awesome - if there's a list developing please put me down for one - best Dubrovnik replica I've ever seen! Only one other set I could find got the rooks right, but your knights are in a league of their own.

[@GabrielCoss]

@@b3asle551 Thanks again. I'll let you know if I have any sets for sale in the future.

[@hpy2101]

How much would you sell 1 set for?

[@dorielementary]

I would like to purchase a set. How can I contact you?

[@dancer9110]

Good for u 😃🌸

[@tonyennis3008]

What lathe are you running?

[@RandomChessTalk]

Gabriel this is amazing replica, you are very skilled, great job! I am making design of my own pieces, if you are interested I can send you the pictures of set, I would be happy that someone could make it in wood, and you seem like a grandmaster wood guy. Waiting for your answer man

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks a lot. Right now I just have no time for making sets unfortunately.

[@RandomChessTalk]

@@GabrielCoss ok, thank you for your reply

[@ЮрийСким]

super!

[@johnhooper7126]

Can I order a set?

[@GabrielCoss]

I'm just going to make these in my free time so not taking any orders until I've made more.

[@johnhooper7126]

Gabriel Coss do you have any sets for sale please?

[@GabrielCoss]

Sorry, I don't.

[@josecosta5586]

are you selling it?

[@GabrielCoss]

The 4" set shown in the video, yes. Any future sets will depend on my free time.

[@barretofkm]

@@GabrielCoss Where can I buy this set from you?

[@GabrielCoss]

@@barretofkm I'll let you know if I make any more sets for sale. Just too busy lately...

[@barretofkm]

@@GabrielCoss Thanks, I will wait!

[@barretofkm]

@@GabrielCoss Do you have a website? There are other kind of sets avaiable for order? Thanks!

[@johnhendy1281]

This is freaking awesome. I'd seen your set featured in a chess.com post, but didn't know there was an associated video of them! I just took an attempt at making these via CNC, using a knight model I found on GrabCad (with permission from the author) because even with pics as wonderful as those of your pieces, I completely struck out trying to make the knights in CAD. I had a hard enough time machining these... I can't fathom doing this by hand! - www.reddit.com/r/woodworking/comments/m4fwib/1950_dubrovnik_chess_pieces_and_board/

[@GabrielCoss]

Incredible work! I just saw the pics on reddit. Nice to meet someone else who is as obsessed with an accurate reproduction as me. I just completed my first "Fischer" Dubrovnik set on my cnc lathe kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3SxZqOAf6aofM0 and aspire to cnc the knights someday as well. I would be happy to get them as good as yours using cnc.

[@Sarah-no7lv]

Make me one

[@hpy2101]

Would you make this set for me for 500$? just tell me your price

[@stephenbartowski2954]

I'd love one if I could afford it :P Great job though

[@generelepano9492]

Very nice pieces how much? Im from Philippines.

[@cucurulo1945]

Your rooks are the best replica I have seen other sets in the market the rooks and the knight look different! Keep going I want to buy one replica soon!

[@1bongocero]

Well I guess you're aren't interested in making any more of these sets besides me being on your "wait list" and sending you numerous emails about the making of said set, Gabriel. That's quite oK. I still admire your work but your responses to any inquiries regarding a sale coming from me seem to fall on "deaf ears". That's a shame...live and learn I always say...I remain...an ex potential customer from NYC.

[@valentigueri99]

Gabs? Your number phone is the same? Hiiii🤟

[@1bongocero]

Hello Gabriel, I sent you 2 email messages inquiring about this new prototype. I believe I’m on your waitlist. Could you at your convenience send me a response to my email inquiry concerning this set? It will be highly appreciated thank you kindly. With all my best ...G. Rosado.

[@valentigueri99]

Gaaaabsss, HBD to youuuu🎂🎉🎈I hope, you have a nice day🎁💚 and I lost your number, changed it or I don't know what happen, write me pleaseee😋.

[@GabrielCoss]

Thanks! Okay I'll text you.

[@MrShah2166]

I love chess can you gift me one please.
