My new Faux's and a custom case

retravoh · #1 (**permalink**) 01-31-2007, 07:33 PM

I recently purchased 2000 Faux Clay's for a fund-raising tourney that my bro-in-law is hosting - I bought 1500 to keep and he bought 500 to add on for the tourney. I then modified a breif case to hold all of my 1500 Faux's.

Here are the pics:
These are all 2000

200 white
300 blue
600 red
600 green
200 black
100 purple

This is the brief case that i attained for free from helping in a family member's garage sale

this is the case after i gutted it.

I also attained some roller shipping containers from my place of work - they just happened to be exactly 40.5mm in width inside the container. the chips were a little tight, so i used the laser cutter at my place of work to cut side channels in the tubes. and i also cut in the four suits just for fun.

the suits

I had to cut the tubes down to only hold 90 chips so that i could maximize the space inside the case.

here is all 17 tubes and 1530 of my Faux's.

I know it's not the nicest case, but for free, plus a little work, it's not bad.

And i love the Faux's - Nicest cheap chip money can buy

My crystal ball shows me you'll be getting requests for those roller containers in no time.

thanks for the kind words. it was actually quite a bit of work to get the tubes right. i had to shorten them, laser cut the sides, drill a hole in the bottom to help get the last chips out, and then cut and shape the cap from another peice of the roller container.

i don't think it would be worth all of the time i put in to make some for others - at least turn-around time would be horrendous.

here is a link to an ebay auction selling something similar to what i started with on the tubes. (not my auction)
