Hi Everyone,
Been looking here for quite some time, but decided to join and continue my chip journey. I've always kept casino chips from visiting my Dad in Vegas (during the family fun years )which started my fascination with the design and feel of poker chips.
I started a few years ago with a large set of CC Pharaohs (thanks to @hobbyphilic and his Youtube channel). This chip obsession has created a new social event for my Dad to get out of his house (he moved moved here from Vegas and loves poker). This in turn has created a greater bond between us, my brothers, kids, and a couple of awesome work friends. My wife just enjoys creating a whole spread of food and watches movies while we play (she isn't obsessed like I am with everything poker). We host a game once a month that I'd invested in to make a real party out of it, and they were a bit blown away by my chips, table (Triton Poker), and Kem Cards. Trying to talk my wife into one of these for our dining room table (Link).
I've decided to at least work towards a couple of Paulson chip sets and I am beginning an inlay design of my Custom CPC with a fictional space travel destination theme. I'd order them tomorrow if I had that down. Once I have that design, I'll put it up here from some honest critique along with color choices. I'm hoping my combination of art and I.T. background will help me with the process .
Thanks for allowing me to join this amazing forum!
