Wood chip trays (2 Viewers)

[T_Chan]

Chanman Poker Tables is now offering chip trays for sale in two sizes, 39mm (1-5/8") and 44mm (1/3/4) barrel sizes.

The chip trays will be made from solid maple for the main body and the sides will be maple as well. In the photos they are a different species of wood for a nice contrast which can be added for an extra cost.

The bottoms are rounded over and tops are sanded smooth.

Prices start at:
$25 each or 5 for $110 for 39mm trays.
$30 each or 5 for $130 for 44mm trays.

Extras: Different species of wood for the sides, laminated trays (main body is alternating woods like maple, cherry, maple), anything other than maple.

You must provide the barrel length you want the trays to be cut to the closest 1/8".

Please note there may be a long wait time for these. They are labor intensive unless many of them are made together, so orders will be batched. PM me for orders and/or questions.

100 chip racks for standard sized chips:

Laminated trays:

Racks: Starting at $200. Price depends on capacity and wood species.

Pictured below is a 300 rack for 44mm oversized rounders chips.

Basic racks: $80 up to 600 chip capacity. Spruce body with maple side pieces. Body pieces are laminated pieces of 1.5" thick lumber. All edges are rounded including the bottom for easy stacking.

Question, for the Basic racks: $80 up to 600 chip capacity. I notice in the last pic, you have a topper? How much would that be, in addition to the basic rack?

 

[T_Chan]

I'm still trying to figure out the cost of the lid. It would depend if you want it in plywood or hardwood. Likely $10 for plywood (like in the photos) $25 for maple.

I'm in the process of completing my first pair for sale which will have a maple lid. I'll post the pics once it's finished.

 

[Weckedy]

Nice! Definitely interested in the Basic rack and lid combo!

Question, if i wanted to laser etch, or wood burn "The Outpost Casino" on the side of one of those 600 carriers, would that be possible, either through you or a local person on my end?

Cannot wait to see the pictures, T.

Yep! I'll find out about pricing for you.

This thread is relevant to my interests!

I like your wood!

Looking good Tony. Are the channels cut with a CNC router?

For a setup like that 300 chip tray, do you account for wood movement when you attach the end pieces? I know it's not a long piece, but I'd worry about running the grain directions perpendicular to each other like that.

 

[T_Chan]

Yes the channels are cut by CNC.

I measure the grooved piece without adjusting for any movement. I haven't found any noticeable movement after gluing and clamping the ends on.

What I'm getting at is seasonal wood movement, as the moisture content changes. The pieces are going to want to expand or contract in different directions, putting a lot of stress on either the end glue joint, or (worst case) the joints between the grooved pieces.

The usual technique for something like a table is to use "breadboard ends" that allow some movement without constraint. That's probably too much effort for these pieces though.

 

[T_Chan]

This shouldn't be any issue because of the size of the trays. I'm also adding polyurethane to the trays which will seal it and prevent any effects from humidity.

Here is a set that's almost ready to ship. Oak instead of maple for the sides and lid. One more light coat of poly then it's out the door.

great lookin racks, custom work like that is the best way i think to showcase chips and at the same time you can protect them, store them and move em around easily...great work and very funtional, hell you could also use them to workout doing curls...

 

[T_Chan]

Absolutely, they have nice sturdy handles to hold on to while doing curls. These things do get quite heavy when full. My rental chips are metal slugged 11.5g chips so carrying 3 racks is a literal pain in the back. I sometimes have people offering to help me pack/unpack my stuff and are always blown away at how heavy they are.

 

[T_Chan]

A few racks finishing up for a local customer. 5 have walnut on the sides, and top tray is going to a local forum member which is my regular tray with maple sides. It also has a lid not in the photo.

Next up is 15 smaller chip racks also with walnut on the sides.

 

[doakwolf]

Um, I hope these can ship to Australia!

 

[NicholasAK]

Very nice. I havent seen anything quite like them on the market

 

[Trihonda]

I'll be ordering up a 46mm oversized rack (no lid required). I'll need to get specs on the length of barrel, as these are ceramics from OWPS. I'll caliper it in a few days and send an email/PM.

Thanks!

 

[T_Chan]

I'll ship anywhere providing you'll pay the shipping. Last year I even shipped a full sized poker table to Switzerland so a tray is no problem.

 

[T_Chan]

All done, a bit late as these were delivered weeks ago but better late than never.

I'm definitely going to need some of these for my customs when I eventually get them. Would it be considered sacrilege to stack those 100 chip racks in birdcages? Do they fit in a standard acrylic birdcage and stack OK?

 

[atomiktoaster]

Man, walnut is awesome.

 

[dimperdoo]

i'm going to have to give this some thought but i need a rack ~maybe some trays?

 

[Trihonda]

Had sent you a PM looking for a price quote... I'm sure you were busy, and getting lots of messages.

 

[Joe Harris]

Man...these are seriously sick. I'll definitely be buying a pile of them eventually.

 

[wetfoot]

Very nice!

The trays stack well since they're milled on the underside as well, however they do not fit into acrylic birdcages. The trays are longer than the acrylic racks as well as are taller. I don't know if height is an issue but I know they for sure don't fit in anyways due to the length.

I got it and kept forgetting to respond, I did email you back earlier today actually.

I'm making more as spares and for my own games and as some giveaways.

Do they stack together using embedded rare earth magnets?
