Finish Non Morticed

Finish Non Morticed

So I decided to invest in a case of poker chips to store all the poker chips. Before you begin, if the construction of cases yourself, or order a special case of third, there are some things to consider that the distinction between a case of poker chips quality singles white wooden box.

TIPS

Carpenter is one of the wood is to assemble pieces of wood to create furniture, structures, toys and other items. The characteristics of wood joints - strength, flexibility, hardness, etc. - are derived from material properties Union and how they are used in the joints. Therefore, the joinery techniques are used to meet different needs. In design a case of poker chips, you must take into account the weight of the chips, which can reach 50 pounds per case for 1000 chips. Joints must be sound, and Case collapses under the weight of the chips.

The cases most purchased in pre-market using a butt joint. A joint throughout end is a joinery technique in which two members are simply spliced together. The butt joint is the simplest joint to make because it does that members cut to length and spliced. It is also the weakest because if some form of reinforcement is used, is based in the queue just to keep together. Due to the orientation of all the members only at the end of grain long grain gluing surface, common The result is inherently weak.

When construction or for a custom chip case, you should avoid butt joints and use something else strong as a dovetail joint. A dovetail joint is a technique frequently used in carpentry joinery. Known for their resistance to be torn apart (tensile strength), the dovetail is commonly used to attach the sides of a drawer front. A series bolts cut from the end of a blade with a series of cutting the tail end of another table. The pins and tails have a form trapezoidal. Once attached, a set of dovetailed wood does not require mechanical fasteners.

A joint mission is simple and strong mortise and tenon, which has been used for thousands of years by carpenters from around the world to join pieces of wood. This is generally used when the parties are at an angle approaching 90 °. Although there are many variations on the subject, the basic idea is that the end of a limb is inserted into a hole in the other member. The end of the first member is called the ear, usually reduced compared to the rest of the room. The hole in the side is called the mortise. The gasket can be glued, nailed, or corner to lock into place.

HARDWARE

Equipment for a case of poker chips must also be sustainable. A variety of hinges and accessories are available, but avoid a hinge model which is the lowest type of hinge. When building or ordering a custom case, there are a variety of hinges, you can ask.

A piano hinge is long term so short a time is the length of the two surfaces on which the leaves are attached. This gives greater stability to hinge where a solid wood top heavy use.

Concealed hinges are used for furniture doors (with or without automatic closing function, with or without damping.) They are made of two parts: One part is the cup and the arm of the other is the mounting plate. They also called Hinges Euro / cup, and give a cleaner look to the case.

FINISH

One thing to consider when choosing a appropriate purpose for wood chips, are sure to use a polyurethane varnish or stain that is insoluble or seep into their chips. You must avoid any type of finish, such as Tung oil or Danish oil because these oils can penetrate the clay chips over time.

TRAY SIZE

Most poker chips are 39mm in size, however, large denomination chips and chip-based investment Paulson Hat Cane and mold, 43 mm in size. Make sure that the trays of chips are large enough for the type of chips you have. If you request a custom chip case, Remember to specify the size of its chips.

Thus, when building or designing a custom wood poker chips If storing your files, remember to consider the type of joints, hinges, and finishes used in the design of your case.
