Please let me know that I'm not crazy and the only one on this. I submitted my CPC order a few weeks back and every few days I go back to the design tool and wonder if I should make changes. I'm happy with the colors and inlay design, it's just so easy to obsess over this process and wonder if there's something that I can make better. It's a 1,100 chip order and a good chunk of money. Just want to make sure that it's perfect.

Anyone else in the same mental boat?

It's the grind. I honestly won't order anymore until I'm so bored with the chips that I can't fiddle anymore. If I don't, I'll find a change later that annoys me. I honestly will have sets in design for years to keep fiddling and swapping.

Yeah, I went through probably 50+ updates on the colors, spot patterns, count, inlay, etc. Felt satisfied when I submitted my order and received good feedback in general from everyone that I show them to. But I have a bit of OCD so I constantly go back and wonder if I should change something.

I always prefer to masturbate aesthetically on the CPC chip design tool, instead of doing so sexually on porn sites, 'cause I 'm a God-fearing:LOL: :laugh:, conservative:LOL: :laugh:, middle-aged (OK, that's fuckin' true :() man and I try to avoid porn. :p :p :p

Jokes apart, I have just ordered two custom CPC sets, but couldn't help designing another one "for a friend".
Problem is that friends don't care about chips, or even if they do, they come up with the disarming line "but we 've got your gorgeous chips anyway, asshole"
:)

Reverend, let me ask you something, if you allow.
If the inlay / label design were very meaningful, would you make the chips different front and back (i.e. one side with the denomination and the other with the full artwork without denomination, enjoying more real estate) or would you opt for denoms on both sides and leave the full artwork for a ND chip?
 
I ordered my set back in late December. And I asked to have them ship to our friends in northern WA thinking my wife and I would be heading south at the beginning of summer to pick them up. That of course hasn't happened so I try not to think of them until we finally get word that we can travel across the border. Hopefully soon.
And I continually 2nd guess my choices.
 
Yep. David hates me LOL, but both of my sets ballooned in size out of control so he can’t hate me too much :bigbucks:

When the lead time starts pushing 9 months to a year I’m sure most everyone is bound to get crazy thoughts.

I remember torturing David like that when I was immature, just 3 years ago:D.
The poor man should be canonised, for his patience, in all Christian Creeds, Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant.
Buddhists, on the other hand, might have been a lot more mature as clients. :D
I won't comment about other religions :rolleyes::rolleyes:(basically, cultures) so as to not let Hell break loose.:rolleyes:

A, plus a no-denom chip.

Have done it. Am currently doing it (while I await my invoice), and will be doing it every day until FDL runs again.
Thanks for this thread and making me feel normal. :LOL: :laugh::ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

A friend is letting me borrow his custom denom stamp. It's based off of some of the old trk sets

That's amazing, they look great. I'd love to have access to those as well if he's selling them or willing to let others use them.
 
Another aspect of submitting an order is that you take your new, ordered masterpiece for granted (after having tortured the masterpiece, the forum, your friends and yourself for months and having been fed up with it) and carry on making designs and dreams, wondering about where you could get fresh money from :D
