BIG stakes

Posted by Jill Marie Welsh on 12 January 2005 at 20:13

Here are 3 big poker chips I just made for a trade show.
They are 16″ circles of 1″ HDU, primed with SignPrime,
with a background of black 1-Shot. The main copy is vinyl.
The edges were hand-painted with white 1-Shot.
The customer loved them.
I did too, they were a lot of fun.
Love….Jill

They’re brillo Jill.

Let me know if you master making the real ones, there’s a casino near me I could pay a visit to!

I was able to buy a half-sheet of HDU for $115.
SignFoam was considerably more, so I used Jasper Design Board.
I got the half-pint of SignPrime @ a trade show for free,
but I hear it’s about $60/gallon.
I charged $75 each for these.
In hindsight it shoulda been $100 each.
I have about 3.5 hours of labor in them.
Big G I am trying to spell vinyl correctly! 😉
People said I should have used a different material
but it had to be thicker yet lightweight.
Thanks for the compliments.
Love….Jill
PS
It’s fiber for concrete reinforcement,

Jill, those chips are so cool! Really good mix of materials as well to produce them! 😀

As Andy said, if you master the real ones, count me in… I’m good at the spinny tabley thing and the dicey thingy, just never seem to have the chance to play them (plus its a bit embaressing standing amongst a group of gamblers saying things like spinney tabley thing 😳 )

Cheers, Dewi

:lol1: Hahaha Nik, no prob.
I once used a smiley and it did the same thing.
A half-pint of white 1-S was $7.50 the other day.
Used to be 5 bux.
Dewi, those gamblers would kick your lilly white ass for distracting them.
Especially the female gamblers! 😉
Love….Jill

Typical of the USA
Always have to do it bigger

Good stuff Jill
