I just wanted to show my custom boxes. Jim H. from Florida makes these. He's awesome!

This one holds my PI Clay Wallsons (500 pcs). It's made out of maple.









This one is for 1300 chips. It's made out of maple and walnut. I keep my Pharaohs in this box. I didn't have any latches or handles made with the box since it would be too heavy to transport.
















This is my card box. It's also made out of maple. Holds about 13-14 sets of cards.

I get it! But seriously, a good box is hard to find.

Very nice!

Were you able to specify all the parameters for the cases?

What was the cost?

Sigh... kill joy, no box jokes....

Nice contrast, good lines, flows together well. Classy.

I guess if I have to ask how much, I can't afford it.

Absolutely!!! In fact, I had to go measure the bookshelf I was going to place the boxes on. I also measured how long 50 of my chips would be (there's a big difference between ProClays, Wallsons and Pharaohs so you have to be careful, it's better to err on the long side). I also had the choice of wood, or leave it to Jim to be creative. The first time I wanted felt on the coves but the second time I just wanted to have wood instead so we picked a really nice maple. We also designed the double-decker case together. It really looks seamless.

My 500pc box cost me around $120, my 1300pc box cost me around $300, and the card box cost me around $110, I think. That 1300pc box is a monster!!!! Jim does an amazing job shipping, and he shipped them all the way from Florida to Los Angeles no problem.

Below is Jim's website, he's really easy to work with and super-enthusiastic.

By the way, if I ever want to move my poker chips I just use those cheap aluminum cases or 600pc acrylic cases. I don't use my wood boxes for transportation!

Haven't been to his site for a while but did you see the 500pc box for $200? That's an awesome box. I'm almost tempted to get that but that would mean I'd have to buy more chips to fill it up and then this terrible cycle will just continue forever...
