Way back in 2006, I was commissioned to build a set of poker chip trays by a gentleman named Chris Hoomani. I then had the good fortune of writing an article in Woodcraft Magazine featuring those very trays. I haven’t revisited this project since then and I thought it was time to bring this design to the Wood Whisperer audience. These trays are fun to make and you better make a bunch of them since poker fans really love these things!

  1. You should build that mouse/plane combo in your logo. Now, you can compute and work wood at the same time!

  2. Great video!  Only on complaint, your bet at the end was a string bet! LOL.

  5. Hey Marc, I'm really enjoying your channel man! And I am looking forward to making some of these poker trays soon. Looks like I've finally found a gift idea for some of my buddies that "have everything" already!! Keep up the good work.

  6. If you cut the groove on the bottom before you put the sides on, it will help "lock" the upper tray into position so it can't easily slide off.

  7. Good video and thanks for the effort for sure.
    The video is a couple of years old now and my question may have been asked before; I apologize if you have already answered this and I just haven't found it.

    My question is: Why not just use solid stock or glued-up stock, perform all the drilling operations and back-groove router work, then rip the piece in half? Seems like it would save a bunch of milling time of those individual pieces and clamp work at the drill press.

    Thank you,
    John

  8. After seeing this video, I now know that I don't have the tools to complete this project. Can I just buy 8 of these from you?

  9. I have a poker table with rounded ends (typical oval table. I would like to incorporate chip trays into the curve. How would I cut them in? Router? I can't seem to find a bit that's a half-round. There's a pic of what I want to make here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71YpxFJp8IL._SL1200_.jpg

  10. Hai, nice video, I am trying to build this project and at the glue up stage, i noticed the 2 main parts have cupped (because of heat from drilling?), just wandering if you had this issue?
