Did you finalize your name?
Just thought of this one as the name of a set today: "The Cairn." I really like the sound of it.

I sure did although it no longer has anything what so ever to do with anything previously discussed ITT (though the chips are basically the same)

Fink's House of Funk?
The Funk, the whole Funk and nothing but the Funk
Current mockup... spots won't be set in stone until I have inlays to factor in but this is where they currently sit. Couldn't decide between the first two so one will be a .25 and one will be a .50 (never in use together). Yes I know there are lots of shades of orange between the 5 and 20 and no, I'm not sure that I care
And yes I am aware these are 1" inlays on the circle/square mold, I plan on discussing whether this will work with CPC beforehand.

Got ya, thanks. They look incredible, after seeing/playing with the chips in person I decided right then and there my first set would be on the csq mold. Very excited to see upcoming sets being built on it, it's a great mold.

That $1 is freakin' ridiculous. LOVE it. Oh and David S. just got through telling me how Jamie is going to murder him for approving a 9-color chip. If only he knew; I am just the first...

Cali flag bear and star as a theme?
CHIPS - cali highyway patrol you know that old tv drama with eric astrada. and the dude who no one knows the name of the blond guy? this could make a theme you have the bikes the badge cops robbers etc
Color of chips i do some car and motor cycle painting and ive notice that any more than 3 colors together on vehicles starts to look odd.
I have a relabeled GV set and the primary 100's seem to suffer this.
Lastly find out which chip is going to be your workhorse. in my set i play tourneys so the 100 and 1000 are the workhorses. They are the ones that need the most thought.
all the above is an opinion eveyone has one ; )

I'm not sure I get the logic behind the slot progression, sometimes they repeat other times they are close but not quite the same...little confusing to me. Couple of design process suggestions, try starting of really generic with colors, one of my first professors told me to always begin in black and white to get composition down and then think about color second. Second, In her First Lady Luck set Abby alternates contrasting base colors to make chips used together on the table more distinguishable. I think it's clever and could be applied to spots as well, or at least to how you think about them. I gave it a shot based on those ideas while still having somewhat of a relation between the paired chips..kinda breaks down on last two but the quantity of white / black and how they look from the side seems to follow the pattern. Sorry for wall of text...think I've had too much coffee this morning
Thanks but I'm happy with the spot progression. First two are identical but as I said they will never be used together (one is .25 one is .50).
All 1/4" which I love.
4 spot
6 spot squeezed
6 spot spread
8 spot
Hundo is same pattern as the 20 but a) I love the 20 but it leaves nowhere to "expand" b) the hundo is different enough color-wise to be a non issue and c) I'll never get the hundos in to play anyways.

Got the "I'm ready to start" email from J5 today... WOO HOO!!!
Is anyone else having issues loading a saved design in the chip design tool? My chips pop up, then it says loading inlays, then the chips all disappear. Not a big deal, I can delete my previous designs and re-enter everything if need be.

I sometimes wonder if John enjoys all the business or wishes we would leave him the hell alone, but is just too nice to tell anyone!
Appreciate what we have? What are you a commie? I got in line for Paymaster and then got back in line for a hotstamp set! I have to escalate my chips arm race because Slisk is trying to catch up to me. [emoji38]

Ronoh I'm too lazy to go back and look. Did you ever come up decisively with your theme?
I sure did, I just haven't let the cat out of the bag yet
Actually that could make for a fun game... first one to guess the name gets a free sample set.

That's all I'll put for now, I'll add a letter WOF style every now and again. Can't really give any clues to the theme or it would make it too easy

I hear you. I have my next two projects in my head already. The rate at which I commission new sets is limited by only two things: how much work J5 has on his plate and my wife's good graces.
And yes, I have nightmares about J5 telling me he's sick of my revisions and wanting to tweak the inlay to "look like a Rembrandt." EDIT: And of course the huge hole this puts in my wallet.
