The "Big" Top Hat & Cane chip build (2 Viewers)

[T_Chan]

Reminds me of the project that I did for @Lars about 10 years ago.


Some of them have the actual poker chip on top of it for reference.

The actual chips:

The Big ones:

And a hot stamp with real gold leaf

Made a "stamp" to get the edge spots on there.

And then got to stampin' ...

We'll get there soon .

Sides dipped

So a chip sat down at the poker table
Living room lights make it almost pop fluorescent...
My work is done for now (on this one), waiting on the label to complete the project...

I know you mentioned using a giant label. Given your custom woodworking skill would a hotstamp made by you be an option as well....silver / gold leaf on either side?

This original project looks great so far!

That would definitely be possible, make a fine inlay drawing and then fill it with foil or leaf .
I am making some more once this one is fully done, i'll experiment...
Keep you updated .

...or a @Gear label...

As promised in the thread that started all this https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/playboy-club-london-big-chip.122466/ I will be building a "big" Top Hat & cane tribute chip.
In this post i'll update the progress of the build / pictures for all to see...

I wanted to recreate one of my favorite chip styles into the real "big" thing to have as a decoration piece in my poker room .
To start I made tools, templates & jigs to use with my router tool, from there cut out the main diameter, then the lines & center.
Making templates for the top hat & cane was by far the biggest headache but Photoshop helped me loads.
Added the front and back (yes it is double sided like the real thing) together.
Now I am in the stage of adding primer base-coat to the chip. After this I'll have to decide on the main color & spot color (also style).
When all of that is done a Big label shall be added (Thx to @Gear & @Wifey for reaching out, we will make this happen).

Enjoy the process !
