I think I would put some netting above the table.

They aren’t that big, and the smaller varieties usually are much tastier...

Cheers. Everyone seems do be doing the black background thing since the Jacks came out. I think I will usually prefer a white over black background but wanted to give it a shot. second guessed myself after sending in my design files but the pics from China look great.

You are welcome any time. Cuban coffee is on me and we can fire up the grill for some skirt steak and chistorras.

I appreciate all of the kind words brother. Especially from an epic chipper such as yourself. I hope to design some more cool projects and also excited to try some other photo projects to share with the community.

You are welcome under my mango tree any time haha. Keep being you man. Cheers.

It was actual a real problem. We couldn't give them away fast enough. I ended up composting more than half. We has an arborist take the top 15' off this summer. It is still wide and massive.

I remember it quite well. I grew up in Atlanta and was in Miami during my early 20’s at least once every two months to visit friends who lived down there just W of Coral Gables. We had good times both downtown and even when just hanging out at their houses. Till this day, best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had was in Miami. Wish I could remember the name of the place.
 
The mango tree has had a massive haircut. It is no more like an amputee with the top half (20’) cut off. I was away for the summer when they cut it and the removed way too much canopy unfortunately. I just removed the furniture and stripped the deck for re-staining but hopefully we will have the tree canopy back for the next game.

No great photos pre-haircut but the arborist sent me some videos as he was cutting. Here are some screenshots...

From the table to the chips, an incredible job documenting a journey full of "wow" moments.

Agreed. Really colorful set for a South Florida game.

Great location, onsite organic snacks, personal risk of injury, colorful custom chips, possible rain delays, mosquitos, mojitos, and sweating is not a tell "it's just hot". What more could one ask for?

Great thread!! Thanks for posting your journey.

Beautiful! Do you just place them face down and have them randomly pick or inside a tube with starting stacks?

Just upside down on the table and people pick one. We start playing cash as soon as 4-5 people arrive. We just leave the chips off to the side and people can then pick as they arrive.

Nice. Seen that as the most common method. Easier and less work than placing them in tubes.
 
Wow! Thank you for sharing this journey. As a newcomer this is really enlightening and inspiring. As soon as I saw the milling machine I knew we weren't in Kansas anymore. ;)

I'm nowhere near that territory (yet?) but I was curious about your design process. Out of all the designs I've seen (granted it's a limited sample as I *just* got here), your Casa Mango set is so well executed. The font, the colorway, it's crazy nice. Can you shed some light on your thought process as you were coming up with the design? I assume you have some design experience previously?

Thanks and congrats!
