Always loved pirates as a kid - countless rewatches of Hook with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, rereads of the book the Buccaneers, etc. In my library/office now I have a painting hung of a pirate ship, and feel like a lot of the decorative choices for our house/furniture/etc have some bit of seafaring inspiration.. just scratches a deep childhood itch I guess.

Wanted to do a vintage feeling set that felt like a fantasy casino set in the Caribbean (Port Royal being the pirate city of the 17th century)... and here we are.

Breakdown (and inspiration):

• X - 120 (Steering Wheel of the Ship)
• 25¢ - 260 (Piece of Gold)
• $1 - 320 (Dark seas)
• $5 - 420 (Blood)
• $25 - 280 (Jewel)
• $100 - 120 (Treasure Chest)
• $500 - 80 (Jewel)

+Quite a few extras. Way more than I need, but wanted to have massive flexibility and longevity.

The case/treasure chest was also made by @alecnetwoodworks (amazing job- holds 1200), and love the fact that the wood was reclaimed from an old house in Pittsburgh (home of the pirates).

On to the pics -

The cash set portion reminds me of my original bourbon qp set @Ben8257


Well done sir! Now when are you going to host!

 

[chippitydoodah]

Great job! You didnt even hint at it over the weekend!

Great job! You didnt even hint at it over the weekend!

I got the UPS arrival notice yesterday morning!

 

[Ben8257]

Soo upset I didn’t get to play these, Pillage and Plunder is my all time favorite! These are amazing coming from a real live pirate! Here’s my proof of when I got the nickname Black Beard!

And Black Beard gives these chips 10 egg plants!!!!!

[BarrieJ3]

Oooo. Best pirate chips since P&P.

 

[doublebooyah85]

Just start a Hall of Fame thread for all of your creations. So great to have you here on PCF!

 

[TheChipVault]

Love these. We should team up on a design

This comment is 9-12 months late.

But I love it nevertheless.

 

[BruceWayne]

That is the most organized treasure chest I've ever seen...

 

[Machine]

That yellow chip is so strong!

 

[doughboy63]

Strong work! Very well done.

Holy hell these are absolutely awesome. The ewing mold looks amazing. How is the barrel height consistency?

Only had one barrel out of the 28 racks so far that was too tight of a fit in a key west 67.7, all the rest have been bang-on and effectively perfect as far as I can tell.. but possible there was something else going on there with that on barrel (e.g. debris).

Dibs or FROR

These are great! I think we all had such a fun weekend together and I’m sure after seeing your family coming home to these beautiful chips must have been the icing on the cake!

Agree with @JMC9389 $1 best initial chip!
