Framing chip collection (2 Viewers)

[stonker]

A few years ago I came up with a method of displaying some sample sets and other chips that I have been collecting.
After a recent poker table rebuild I have got the itch to cover up more wall space.
Here's one I did today for a couple sample sets I acquired some time ago.

 

[stonker]

Here's another one. Seemed a shame to have these hidden away in a drawer.
Kinda going with an Andy Warhol inspired design here.

 

[stonker]

I tightened up the pattern a little and added more frames.
This wall now has 32, 8" x 10" frames, capable of holding up to 20 chips each.
Time to cut some more mats.

Very nice!!

 

[stonker]

Did a bunch more tonight

 

[stonker]

I could use some help in framing some President Casino On The Admiral sets. I have two sets but not sure which ones belong together.
Can someone point me in the right direction with sample pics so I can group these properly?

Where did you get the "Andy Warhol" chips? I really like those.

I think you just have the $500s mixed up.

The hotstamped quarters where a custom group buy add on later so they aren’t primary or secondary.

Thank you, that’s just what I was looking for

Purchased a few years ago from CT forum member Empty Pockets. I’ve been out of touch for a while and not sure if he is still around.

Last two frames populated.

Are the chips held in place via pressure? Any concerns being pressed against the glass?

Yes, thats my question as well.

How are they fastened to the frame? You mentioned felt. Thanks! Love the look!

Nice displays! What is the method for keeping it in place?

I've seen people apply a square of adhesive Velcro to the back of the chip and Velcro it to a cloth backer, but I don't like that as much...
Though maybe I could Velcro a chip protector, that'd be okay.

I'd really like to know this too. I have boxes of chips I'd like to display any info would be appreciated!

Awesome collections! Great thread! Will be looking for updates here

I cut adhesive backed craft foam and framing mat material to the size of the picture frame.
Using templates and hole punch that I made I cut holes in the craft foam to desired pattern.
The foam is placed on the mat and ready to be filled.
The chips fit nicely in the cutouts.

 

[grantc54]

May I ask where you got the whole punch from? Also where you source (or sizes) of the foam and framing matt?

Final product looks great!

I made the punch many years ago. The foam was purchased from Joann Fabrics. I believe the sheets are about 1/8" thick x 9" x 12".
The matting material was purchased at Michael's in a large sheet. All materials are very reasonably priced especially if you use coupons.

This is awesome. Thanks for the response! I've got to get me a punch like that. You have any recommendations or advice on how to get or make one?

Looks like the answer would be have access to a lathe and the knowledge to turn a piece of metal into that... Impressive little piece of work @stonker , wish I had the skills to do that.

Would something like this work?

That might work. I designed mine to be used in my drill press. I run it at its slowest speed and it cuts an extremely clean hole.

 

[saleen121212]

@stonker you could make a killing making these for other people. I would buy a bunch for sure if you are ever interested!

 

[Erich Wise]

Not to destroy your burgeoning hole punch empire, but I'd imagine a light touch with a drill press fitted with a forstner drill bit would do it, no?

I think That the foam I use is too soft to cut with a Forster bit. It would definitely work with a harder material.

Nice poker room! When's the next game?
