I’ve had this idea for a long time now, but when I acquired an extremely colorful set of roulette mold chips from @BarrieJ3 , I finally started getting serious about it. I needed to supplement the set, because the quantities were a little lacking in certain areas. So a rack of pink chips from @JWJ , four racks of green chips (some much brighter than others) from @Spinettis Gaming , and three racks of purple chips from @TheChipRoom later, and I had more than enough to meet my needs. I started off by working with @Quicksilver-75 , who blew me away with his design, especially the tree bark background. Then it was decided to make it a double-sided design, with the “NUTS” text on one side and the blind squirrel on the other. The squirrel was key, especially with the connection to the phrase, “even a blind squirrel finds the nuts.”
I had to remove inlays from over 1000 chips, which was my first experience with that process. It wasn‘t fun, but it was rewarding. @Josh Kifer milled the purple chips for me, and when I was starting to wonder if I would ever get all of these chips cleaned to my satisfaction, @BearMetal stepped up and offered to clean them with his ultrasonic for me. When @Quicksilver-75 had some personal stuff come up, @Eloe2000 stepped in to put the finishing touches on the design. It was truly a team effort. And then , of course, @Gear worked his magic with the labels.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this idea become a reality!
And it’s not finished yet … no hints yet, but a few more accessories are in the works.
Final chip set is 1200 chips.
