Paulson RHC Relabel to Tournament Set (6 Viewers)

allforcharity said:
Hiya, Grant. Does your general method for removing regular inlays from THC and RHC chips also apply to chips with giant inlays? Is there a different process you would use, and are the results similar? There seem to be a lot of decent giant inlay chips out there at extremely good prices but few are buying (e.g. Garden City $2, $3, $5).

Somewhere in this site I have a thread where I removed a giant inlay.

A) you can do it

B) not a viable option as the inlay creates a double crease and it would look strange with a label (@Gear said it wasnt possible I think).

Removing a giant inlay is certainly possible (as Grant's photo demonstrates!) but putting a giant-inlay-sized label back on the chip is never going to look good. Getting the label to cleanly fill in the hat-and-cane mold impressions isn't going to happen. Technically you could put a regular-size label into the middle area and leave the outer rim empty but that would just look weird.

I don't like to speak in absolutes because when I do, inevitably* someone or something comes along and proves me wrong, but in this case I think it's a non-starter.


* I really really wanted to write "almost inevitably"
 
Chris, we previously discussed milling a standard inlay chip recess so that the entire recess was flat-bottomed, and a slightly larger-than-standard label would then fit, filling in the entire recess area.

Along those lines, a giant-inlay-removed chip could be milled, so that the entire recess area was flat/flush, and it might accept a giant label with better-looking results. Or maybe not. :)

Any progress on that approach?

Very interesting idea. Half of the hat/cane would be missing though.

And people already don't like RHC's.......

Well, I wouldn't have replaced the giant inlay with another giant inlay. I would rather leave the bisected hat and canes alone and place a small label inside. I don't think it would look too weird.

Anyway, these ideas of mine are really distractions. I've got the chip numbers I need for my roulette set, so I better get on to milling. And, of course, designing my Gear label graphics!
 
So I have decided to go with an alternate T1M chip using the AS $20 as it is much more affordable to acquire. I will post them up when completed.

Thanks
Grant
 
Latest batch waiting for labels.

Since I prep chips less frequently I forget the effort involved. The whites, red and black took a over 2 hours alone.

New pelican case my friend gave me. I just had to buy some foam.

Holds 1500 (chip boxes stacked 3 high). It has wheels which I badly need with 1500 chips.

Played around with some white plastidip (it peels off). My stencil skills need work! :S

I'm thinking of relabelling the old 500k and 1M chips for OFC 1 and 20. Perfect amount of chips (60x1 and 12x20) for 3 players.

Successfully ran a 30 person 4 table tournament with the new set. Went with T2M starting stack with one T2M rebuy/add-on per person (so effectively a T4M per person stack). The set is currently at about 1400 chips.

Starting stack:
- 10 x 1k
- 8 x 5k
- 6 x 25k
- 8 x 100k
- 2 x 500k

The tournament went very well and everyone loved the chips.

I think I'll need to slowly add to the T1M and T5M chips for optimal amounts on final table/heads-up. Possible another barrel of T1M and 12 more T5M (to finish a barrel). Then I'll be done (lol). My fear is that once I get more of these chips I'll add another denom (I do have 12 of the old T1M after all).....

Thanks,
Grant
 
On the topic of RHC labeling, if I wanted to have a sticker cover an inlay (i.e., no routing out, just stuck on top), what diameter would I need?

I'm not sure of sizes. I am pretty sure there can be some differences between chips. I have purchased all my labels from @Gear and he knows the appropriate sizes.
