I might have called Hilarry from Love It or List It to see if she had any toolbox-to-chipcase conversion contractors in her rolodex who could maximize efficiency, but you should be able to spread any game with 1600 chips. Perfect travel case.
 
Received my samples today. WOW. Pictures do not do these justice. They are amazing, great work Tom.
 
What if you did a red center with the stainless diamond plate racetrack? You could then put the logos in the betting field and they would look more like they are on the car. Just a thought.

Also probably need to change Ed's number to 555- unless he's still in business.

Edit: might be a good application for a round table that looks like a tire?????

They are replicating race wall ads.

I love that table. As a huge Mopar fan and drag race fan this whole setup really speaks to me beyond knowing the amazing story and inspiration behind it. I wish I could own more then just a sample but I truly understand wanting to keep them in house too.

Omg just googled it and shocked to find Ed Griesmeyer's is still in business and still even has the same number lol.

Maybe he'll pay for a small part of the table. Just tell him you have over 100 eyeballs that will see it one weekend a year and probably close to 2000 annually.
 
Love the felt. My slight concern would be tendency to stain or the white to get noticeably worn over time. Unreasonable to make it light grey?

It would probably be smarter but the whiteboards scream to me for the ads

And for those exact reasons, I'd put them on raised rail walls.... with the table's racetrack replicating a, well, real racetrack.....

@T_Chan (ChanMan Tables) even has experience in such matters. Imagine these raceway ad walls.....

.... surrounding a racetrack table with a diamond plate playing surface with Paymaster logo. Can almost smell the gasoline and hot asphalt in the air.....

That's an awesome idea Dave!

@Mr Tree My family has always been a Mopar family. Here's my dad's current build. (/thread jack)

Yeah that's beautiful and all.

It also would double the cost of the table. My poker bankroll is already depleted. If I did that no way I could get it for S@P this year. (Not sure I can afford the basic table atm)

Raffle?

Seriously, though -- a raised rail with white billboard and no lighting would double the table cost? The playing surface would/could still be all cloth with a printed racetrack. All table/cloth dimensions (except rail height) would remain the same.

Chanman was using one of his premade table designs. To go with the specialization does literally double the cost to me.
 
I love the idea for the felt, it looks great!

Did you give any consideration to making each ad uniform in size and having it be a player space around the table? That way each person has their space defined (kind of how it's usually determined by proximity to cup holders.)

I'm not sure how this would skew the photos on the ads or if it would even be something you'd like, it's just the thought that popped in my head when I saw it.
 
Looking into the thought of a race wall with the ads. The one BGinGA showed was a 2.5 inch raised rail but Tony can do any height. I am trying to keep the ads in their current proportions and make them legible from across the table. My question is how high do you think a raised rail can go and still be comfortable for play?

I think I might be in the minority, but it's slightly uncomfortable at any height, so I'd be a little concerned about stretching it. Then again, it's hard to resist the allure of the race wall design...

I'm having John send me one to print out to give an idea of size. Even a move to 3 inches may help us out a lot with the proportions.
 
I had a table that had a 3 inch raised rail at one point. It wasn't terrible to play on but making sure you have height adjustable chairs went a long way to making it comfortable for the smaller players (never an issue for me being as tall as I am).
 
3 inches vs 2.5 inches. Both are legible from across the table. Going back and forth about which way to go.

Despite what my wife says, smaller looks better and would probably feel better too.

I mean feel more comfortable that is.
