Moving to CSQ instead of small crown

Pretty

Love the $1! Very nice choice of colours.

Reminds me of the Colony Club $1. One of my favorite custom sets.

Very nice! Do you design your own inlays or use a designer?

Scrowns are probably my favorite CPC mold, but I think diasqr (or hourglass) might work better with the design. Just my opinion.

Here is my original mock-up but J5 brought it to life. I went back and forth between Scrown and DSQ but the 1” inlay works better since the print is already a little small. Either works for a vintage feel.

I like what you have done here adapting the inlay design for your set. It's a tribute without being an overt tribute.

Double check your outer white ring against CPC's printing requirements (halfway down this page http://www.classicpokerchips.com/pokerchips/realclay/pricelist.htm ) to make sure it will work, or even send David an email asking about it. His contact is on the CPC pages. He's very good about responding quite quickly.

+1 I’m working on a design for someone who’s getting a CPC set and it’s surprising how small the printable area is on the template. Wonder if you can sign a waiver to go over the area knowing it might get cut off.

Thanks, David has already looked =)

Again, I'd say ask David.

I don't think it's so much a waiver as acknowledging that stiff could get cut off. If it's full bleed out beyond the edge, that works and there are suggestions how to handle that in the templates. I did this with my Arizona Club set and have a patterned background that was intended to get get cut off at the edge of the inlay as part of the cut.

This is my 4th CPC set. David has always been pretty clear with what will work and what won’t

If someone asks, let us know. I am interested in the answer too

Very nice! I love Butterscotch!!!

Very nice! I know the original demon is off center but may be worth checking what it looks like with it centered. It's centered on the frac (incidentally my fave chip) but not on the others.

Ya that is a great one. I was clearly going for a vintage feel. Not too “in your face”. Just a little bit of pop here and there.

Dibs, sample set.

From an email with David:

The inlays are punched out by hand and their centering is only approximate.
That means that when you have a thin ring around the outside you are going to see quite a variation in thickness in the ring between the chips.
If you don't want it particularly noticeable then the ring has to start right from the red guideline on the template.

I did a ring on my first two CPC sets and they came out just fine

 

[bernielomax]

Just like there is always an NAGB going on, is it safe to say that @chipinla is always working on a new CPC set?

Looks like you have another nice design!

 

[warma]

The result of David's advice on my end. (Not to crash your party.)

 

[Machine]

Not a fan of white 1s but that might be the GOAT for a 1, love that it’s not bright white

 

[Machine]

Not the same color but thought you might like this shot of ceramics

Appreciate the kind words! And bright white would have been way too much for this set. I want this set to be subtle with some pop here and there. I know my Biff’s set was in your face with dayglo but that’s how Biff would be. This set needs to have that old school vintage feel.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Thanks, David has already looked =)

In for a sample set, BTW.

I meant to reply with this right away, but I had to leave and wasn't able to get to a computer or phone until just now.

 

[MeridianFC]

The chips look great but man that inlay smokes. You had a great idea and J5 definitely lit that shit right up.

 

[NeoViny23]

The $1 looks amazing….
