A few years ago I built a 40 person tourney set, Sideshow Poker. I'm really happy how it turned out. It's been in play more than a few times at my neighborhood monthly game and also was the guest set at @krafticus monthly game once last year. I have had lots of positive feedback. So I decided to try my hand at designing another custom set.

This time I wanted to do a cash set of solids as a companion set to the tourney. I spent quite a bit of time collecting and trying out different color combinations and coming up with the right look and feel. I ultimately "borrowed" the from an old-school Hacienda chip.

While my tourney set is more bright and colorful and playful, I wanted the cash set to have a darker, more of a old-school cigar-smoked filled card room feel while still maintaining the Sideshow moniker. So this is what I came up with.

Currently the set will contain...
140 x $0.25
300 x $1
300 x $5
100 x $20
20 x $100
That should be more than adequate for any cash game I host in the foreseeable future.


The actual chips are in the same used but good condition as the tourney set, which is how I like my chips. I still need to mill a bunch of them and oil them all before I apply the labels. But I have time since I just put the order in with gear and it's going to be awhile before I receive them.

Just wanted to share what I have been working on. Once I get set fully milled, oiled and labeled, I'll be posting more pics.

Would love to hear what y'all think.

thanks for looking,

chris.
 
Sideshow Poker is a suuuuper rad set! Honored and privileged to have seen them on the felt :love:
Looking forward to seeing this next creation :cool
 
Couldn't imagine a better label for this set. Nice work!
 
That inlay looks great. I know you said you "borrowed it" from the Hacienda, but yours looks better.
 
Amazing inlay, love the greyish/black near the rim!!! Congrats on the set!

Yeah. That's makes it for me. Went back and forth on it, just weathered vs. extra grunge/grime.

My wife was like, eeeww, it looks dirty. Most chippers were like, awesome, love the extra grime look.

@Gear and @Wifey were amazing to work with ( thanks Chris and Andrea!!! ). @Gear took the original design and added the extra grime. Then sent samples both ways so I could see them live on the actual chips. Made all the difference. Nothing like seeing the final product in person.

In the end, chipper's opinions were right, extra grimey FTW. ( but don't tell my wife she was wrong, the couch is not that comfortable ;):ROFL: :ROFLMAO: )


Tried to do a close up showing the texture label with all it's glorious edge grime.
