I finally fired up the stamping machine. No real effort in dialing in the machine yet, I just fired it up and used the manual arm to stamp a couple of chips.

The suits mold chips were much harder and required a lot more pressure than the Paulson chip. I still need to let up on the Paulson chips.

The yellow T- 1,000 is an existing stamp, not anything I did.

So it would seem, from my ignorant perspective, that you are limited to whatever dies you can get your hands on right? Are you able to order non-alphanumeric dies, custom dies, and/or just new fonts from somewhere?
 
Love this! Following with interest! Nice work!
Although...I'm unsure why "chip" needed to pressed onto a chip.............
 
Looking forward to watching your new endeavor!
Thanks so much for your and Mikes help getting me going!! After I get my T-5,000 Vegas World chips done I will go after the Nevada Mold set
 
If you can make a go of this.....

Gonna have some devil stamps made for some fracs!
It may take a long time to get done but yours will go right to the top of the list Steve, its the least I can do for all your help you have given me. Nobody has a clue how many hairbrained inlay ideas I have sent you to work on.
 
I’m guessing the cpc chips will require a touch more heat than paulsons will. Especially older ones. I’d love to hear about the process, though. I came very close to pulling the trigger on it. I’m still kicking myself.
 
I was surprised you passed on it. There were 4 or 5 people who passed on it before I had a shot at it.
 
I have some BCC Tmolds that you can practice on if you put me at the top of the list for finishing the last 2-300 that I need to complete my cash set!
I appreciate the offer! But the list is just my own sets I want to get stamped. Unfortunately I wont be taking on other projects for almost a year. Quicksilver will get in front of my sets because I owe him a lot of my time.

I might be able to squeeze in a rack of fracs or something like that before then but it will be hit or miss with my up coming work schedule.
