Chips and tables both look awesome.

 

[BNM]

Amazing set and clear Top 5 of all time.

Why are you re-making the 10k and 25k? Also, really like the tables, the red felt especially. Why round and not octagon?

 

[Puggy]

I love that press pic. And this truly is an awesome set. Congratulations. I have always loved these chips.

Well shoot, I just don't have a good answer for that. I have an 8 person octagon, but really I think it comes down to table top. I think a round table might be more versatile down the road.

a) Where's my invite?
b) Who was the girl dating the lead singer of the Strokes at that time? I know a girl that dated a couple of the guys in the band (I think she dated a couple of them, at least one of them)
c) Where is my invitation to the game?
d) The press picture, you didn't share that before, did you? Awesomesauce.
e) Is there an invitation to your game in my spam folder?
f) Chanman will build you an awesome table. And his custom gamesuede material is also amazeballs.
g) Nope, no invitation in spam folder. You must have typo'ed my email, I'll resend to you.

Yes send me that address.

Press pic was on blue wall at some point.

I just figured my email address got swept into the muck with the AK suited.

Round is generally better at accommodating five, six, seven , or nine players than an octagon, including for games other than poker.

Updated the felt a bit. Working on stain, rail choices.

Also, should only be a few more weeks until 10k and 25k chips are delivered. I am hoping to offer some samples, but no details on that just yet. Stay tuned for possible offering.

A couple of new addition to the wall. The FDL will have plaques added for the winners of the annual team tournament that I host. A sort of trophy I guess. Not too bad for $10 art. Hobby Lobby + Home Depot + $10 = Poker trophy.

 

[BGinGA]

love all three, and anxiously awaiting the other two.

Some other pics

Cool pics. I have never seen a pic where the chip was being made.

 

[72o]

Yeah what an awesome picture to frame. I would love to hang that picture on my wall. I can't imagine how I would feel if it was a picture of my custom set being made.

 

[spikeithard]

that is sick!! Awesome wall art!!!

I'm just now getting over this.

 

[rowlin]

These are some of my favorite customs anywhere ever. It was a treat to get to see them. Love the tables and art too. Nice work!

I would suggest taking all your chip colors and finding a felt color that allowed your chips to "pop" on the felt. I know on my black table we often "lose" my black T100 chips... Everything looks great Bert!

This is of course excellent advice. I struggled with felt color for a long time. In the end, I realized that with the entire lineup of cash and tourney chips, it would be hard to have that singular color that would allow every chip to stand out (except tan). The red just felt right given the theme of the chips. I'm hoping my $5 cash chips don't get lost.

 

[BGinGA]

Really, red felt? I just assumed it was wine....

Burgundy...

This is great advice IMO. It's also the reason I went with green(s) for my new table

Third level design thinking going on here

This here is why I don't get involved in pots with Sean anymore.

 

[BNM]

Was scrolling through your pics and saw photos of the 10k and 25k plaques. What prompted you to replace those with your new 10k and 25k chips?

If you go back through the blue wall posts, you'll see I posted mockups for these ages ago. I discarded the colors (on the chips) for the plaques as the design process played out. But I fell in love with the chips I had mocked up and decided to go back and have them made. Just another part of the addiction. I love the plaques and will most likely love the cheques as well.

 

[bivey]

Getting ready to put these CPS beauties into play! I can't use my chips EVERY time, right?!

 

[72o]

...

Yes...yes you can and should! I mean I would if I had that set of yours...just saying. I would probably use the CPS chips as a travel set though.

 

[bivey]

Have new chips and they are great. Hopefully find some time to take some pics this weekend. Also working on finalizing felt designs. Hopefully I'll have an update to share on that front as well.

With regards to samples, I should have limited quantities. I will need to decide how many I want to part with and start taking requests. I'll open another thread for that when the time comes. Enjoy the first weekend of Spring.
