Re: new poker table
In Response To: Re: new poker table ()

Thanks Paul. Actually my wife framed the chips. She used my old pool table cloth as the background. She started with a standard commercial frame and inserted a corrugated cardboard backing the thickness of a chip. Once she determined the size the chips would take she just cut a rectangular hole in the cardboard. To assemble the frame she lays out the back that comes with the frame, lays on the cardboard with the hole in it, lays on the cloth, fits the chips into the rectangular depression, and puts the frame's glass on top. The chips are pinned between the glass and the cloth while the hole she cut in the cardboard keeps them from moving around. No glue. grin They stay in place, match the color of the new poker table, and everyone always comments on how great they look. That room is usually dark, so the chips really won't fade much. I know a lot of collectors store their chips away in boxes or folders never to see the light of day, but I don't collect them as an investment. I want to see and enjoy them, so they're framed. She's probably framed 600 of them and tells me when I buy a bigger house with a game room and more wall space she'll frame the other 1,500. grin
