That blue $1 is already calling to me. Congrats!

 

[courage]

Congrats! Can't wait to see more, and love the theme and Cali colors, ldo!

Looking forward to more pics! I like the edge spot progression you chose.

The Horseshoe sale has really turned me on to the larger chips. I'm starting to think about doing an add on for my tournament set with some 44s, however if I'm reading CPC's policies correctly I need to order at least 300 of that size and can't combine the total with other standard 39s. What was your experience?

My experience was a little different, as they had to test the mold and process so I asked if they would test on my chip and thats what allowed me to get 125... How ever, I was going to get the CSQ and the 44mm Scroll and with the scroll mold I was going to see if I could combine mine with another 44mm order, but that you will have to ask David about.

Can't wait to get my hands on that dime!

OP updated with Pics

Epiphone Casino?

 

[chipjoker]

Yes sir, bought it about a month ago.... Its the closest I could find to my Grandfathers Guitar..... Plays and sounds awesome.

 

[Phantom]

Excellent work mate, great set altogether

 

[Shaggy]

Great set. Looking forward to playing with these.

 

[dimperdoo]

boom!

 

[Ray-Col]

Wow, this is a marvelous set!

That really resonates with me (pun intended). And great photo settings as well, obviously a lot of work for the set ups. What's that beat up guitar in the pic with the sheets? The f-holes remind me of the old Framus arch top my father had and I played on until I was 16 or so. The epiphone casino is a beauty, a friend of mine played one for a couple of years and I got my hands on it for a while too.
Can I steal this photo idea if my set is going to be produced someday and put Deering, Gretsch and Martin into the mix?

 

[Blaster]

Nice, enjoy the set!

Thank you.....The old one is actual my Grandfathers Mandolin....

You can totally take the photo idea...

Ooops - should have recognized it from the size compared to the chips alone (and the strings are visible as well). Never played a mandolin but a member of our western-swing band had one and these little boxes sound awsesome if played well. I'm more into acoustic guitar (steelstring) for the past years and if you've never heard of Tommy Emmanuel, this would be my hint to get some ideas to evolve, he's making stunning and captivating guitar music.

Big thanks for permission to steal and borrow from you!

B E A utiful..

 

[toad94]

Very cool set! I love how the theme works across all of the components (especially the dealer button--that's so clever!). Nice work!!

 

[Jambine]

Great theme. Luv the set (and the Epiphone)

 

[chipjoker]

From last nights game, first time using these awesome chips.....@shaggy

 

[btbmason]

I love the fractionals and the dealer button. Awesome set and design!

 

[Stroup69]

Awesome set...the pink/lime are my favorite

 

[chipjoker]

Sooo, the folding legs broke on my main table, so I have been looking for permanent legs.. The thought occurred to me to build some (I even have the wood for simple legs).

Then I started looking for tables on craigs list and BAM!!! check these out:

My NEW legs, and i got them for FREEEEEEEE!!!

 

[chipjoker]

Got my LEGS sanded, stained, and MOUNTED....

Now this just needs custom felt...

 

[onerand]

Very cool

 

[chipjoker]

Got all set up for my Home game tonight...Single table, 8ish players.
Texas Hold'em .25/.25 Blinds @ $40-100 buy-in, with a $5 dolor High hand side pot.

Game was great on Friday night, I almost did not have a game because no one had RSVP'ed but then 11 showed up.

The 11th person showed up just as someone one leaving so it worked out pretty well.. I only got one pic, I was dealing all night (and playing)..

 

[chipjoker]

I finaly had a game this month on the 24th... I had 11 players at one point and then after a few went home another person showed up... Good fun night over all, one guy got stacked 3 times with pretty good hands, AA vs KK, Nut flush over Straight, and SET over SET.

I handed the chip stacks adifferent this time, its usually 12 - $.25, 12 - $1, 13 - $5, and 1 - $20, and re-buys are 20's and Hundo's...

This time was:
16 - $.25
16 - $1
16 - $5
Rebuys were in $20's
This worked out a little better having a few more 1's and 5'2 on the table, but I had TOO many quarters.....

Next game will be:
12 - $.25 - @ max 9 players
17 - $1
16 - $5

This was the only pic I got the entire night...

Sooooo, I have been working on getting my garage converted to The Music Shack poker room... The green represents the color of the shack my Grandfather built and the grey, well I did not want the entire room to be that bright, and a TV is going on the grey wall.

Still working on it but I got a lot of painting done..
