Custom Wooden Poker Chip Storage Cabinet and Trays (1 Viewer)

These are awesome

I contemplated having @alecnetwoodworks build me a custom shuffle tech shuffler cabinet to match my chip cabinet, but after some thought, I felt the shuffler would have been a waste of money, and the shuffler cabinet to not fit very well in my space.

To be fair, that was an initial offer and when I was just starting my business. The cabinets are about twice that cost now, especially since material costs have skyrocketed.

I was one of the early birds, and boy am I glad I got my cabinet. Even 2 years later, every time I see that cabinet in my game room, the quality construction coupled with ultra premium materials are just something to simply appreciate.
I wouldn't change a thing with mine, either.

You have plenty of White Sox ammo for their landfill inferno of a season.

Growing up in northeastern Iowa, in a family of sports fanatics, both my Dad and Grandpa were big Cubs fans. I followed them as a kid and loved Fergie and Ernie. I moved to Texas right after college, and followed them for a little while longer. But fairly soon I became a big Astros fan, which has lasted into finally reaching the glory days we are in the middle of right now. I have no hate for the Sox. Honestly, the only thing I really remember about them was losing to you back in our first ever World Series appearance. Still such a shame that Bagwell and Biggio never got a ring. Those guys are such class acts. Definitely pumped for taking another run at it this year. It will be fun to see if Judge can do anything against our pitching if we end up facing the Yankees in the ALCS. Then on to stuffing a sock in those whiners from LA who've been bitching about nothing but cheating ever since 2017. Or revenge against the Braves from last year would be nice too.

The Astros are my second favorite team. Love that town. I have some good friends there, and have even had a job offer down there (If it wasn't for family, I would have probably taken it).

If you ever change your mind, let me know. Winters are just a tad bit more tolerable...

I was down there for a day in May to visit a drum shop to build a custom drum set. I told the owner I'll work on finding more excuses to visit.

I ate at Taste of Texas. One of the finest tomahawks I've ever eaten.

Give me some advance notice next trip. I'll find out if anyone local has a game running. Or if it's a year or so from now, I may be hosting myself. Wife and I are starting to look for a new place, and dedicated poker space is a high priority.

Absolutely!!!

I am a custom furniture builder out of Denver, CO and I was recently commissioned to design and build a poker chip storage solution for @TX_Golf_N_Poker. Design considerations, build photos and such can be found in the build thread here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-chip-display-storage-cabinet-–-design-build-thread.57022/

I have just about completed this cabinet and now wanted to offer up my services to the community here.

Here are a few pics of the completed cabinet. More can be found in the build thread linked above.

Cabinet Overview:

- Overall Dimensions of cabinet: 21x21x27 inches
- 4 fully removable slide out wooden trays designed to fit 1000-chip dealer insert from Spinetti Gaming - www.spinettisgaming.com/collections/chip-dealer-trays/products/1000-chip-inventory-tray (other insert options in the works)
- Heirloom quality, solid wood construction, built with furniture-grade joinery and finishes. Client can specify primary and secondary wood choices for case, as well as trays.
- Lockable upper compartment. Dimensions: 18.5x18.75x5.75 inches
- Lockable front door with glass insert. Door swings up and then slides into the case out of the way.
- Upgrade options available, such as interior LED lighting, hidden compartment, custom wooden inserts for top compartment, etc.

Base price of the cabinet and 4 wooden trays, built with standard domestic hardwoods (oak, ash, maple, alder) will be $1000.
Premium woods (walnut, cherry, mahogany, figured woods, etc.) are available with price dependent on species chosen.

Please note that I am custom furniture builder, which means that I build to fit your needs. This design is fairly easily modified so if you would like to see changes made just ask. Top compartment depth can be adjusted, or compartment can be removed entirely. A standard drawer could be added instead of the compartment. Or that drawer could be on the bottom instead of the top. Want more trays? Or less trays? Easy enough. Want the case to be free-standing? I can build a nice stand for it as well. Options are limitless. Just PM me and we can discuss your needs.

I'm also going to make the trays available by themselves. Those will start at $75 (again wood choice will play a role here) with discounts for ordering multiples. If just ordered trays, I will not machine the groove along the sides, unless so desired.

Shipping is not included in any of these prices, though I will deliver in the Denver metro area and we can work something out if you're within a few hundred miles of Denver. I also travel to Texas fairly regularly, so we may be able to work something out there as well. Crating and shipping are options too, at buyer expense (I've got a few leads on some more reasonable shipping options for bulky and somewhat heavy items like this). The trays alone should be simple enough to ship via standard means.

**Introductory Offer**

I really want to get a few of these out there and show off my craftsmanship so I'm looking to make an initial run of these (probably 3-5 depending on interest) built to standard specs (as shown) and will offer these up for $800 apiece. If you order one before I start building you can select your woods, otherwise I'll build with what I have an excess of in stock (likely oak for primary and various secondary woods for top/sides). If I can get more than 3 orders in the next few weeks, I can drop that price even further. I've got a trip planned for the end of July so lead time on this initial batch is probably about 8 weeks. Normal lead time will be 4-6 weeks depending on my load.

Let me know what you think, any questions you have, and anything else you might like to see made.

Thanks!

EDITING 9/16/21: Due to material cost increases and a lack of usable hours in a day to get everything done, base price on these cabinets is now around $1500. Lead time is also more like 12 weeks for the foreseeable future as well. Thanks, Alec

are you still building these?

Alec is my son. He is not a daily user on PCF, but he will respond to you. He is not building furniture full time at the moment but he does still build these on a custom basis. Since you are a new member, you won't be able to private message with him. Let me know if I can help in any way to put you two in touch.
