UK chip sets (19 Viewers)

Yep, soon!

The Lake SnowBrau (or maybe HoffBank Inn?) set is coming along nicely.

On the Hof Brau side still looking for 22 x $1, 13 x $20 and 18 x $100. Looking like it's going to be impossible to shake loose enough $5s (199 to go...), and no fracs in the original line-up, so this will evolve into a mixed Cali HS 414 set - probably SD quarters and something like CoosPaOmNuIt or Cameo Club $5s (although I suspect they'll be impossible to find in quantity too).

Just 7 x Snowbank $5s and 2 x Snowbank $20s to go, and after some @Josh Kifer restamping magic (most of the fracs and $1s I have are completely worn) I'll have a 50c - $20 set (100/200/150/50) that covers £2000 on the table. No $100s in the original line-up so will sub the Hof Brau hundos across when needed. Maybe one day I'll try to complete the half rack of $5s but it's been slow going to get this far.

I'll hopefully have another update in the next few months once I get my act together on the restamping front.

And a few photos of the Isle Cape Girardeau set I've been working on for ages - this started out as a borderline unusable STT set from the TCR sale back in 2020 (very few T1000 and T5000 were available), so I sourced some other RHCs I thought would look good in the line-up and drafted in @mattross1313 for the die design and @Josh Kifer for the stamping and other support along the way.

To say I'm delighted with how this turned out would be an understatement - hoping to have some pics of them in play soon

Seems to have been an influx of UK chippers recently and since I haven't bumped this thread in a while here we go. Get those pictures in!
 
Also good for new UK chippers to see what other sets people have managed to build over here.
 
Is anyone selling any clay UK casino chip singles? I wouldn't mind getting hold of something
 
£/$ is the best it’s been for a few years. You’re getting $1.31 today so if anyone is procrastinating over any purchases this might be the shove you need…

Postage is the issue unfortunately
 
I was told off yesterday at work for drinking Irn Bru every day. Supposedly it's bad for you or something!

These are awesome! I just started another thread around custom hot stamping, but would be keen to understand how you’ve approached it being over here in the UK.
 
Slow but steady progress on the Lake SnowBrau set, particularly on the Snowbank Jack $5 front.

Eventually I'll fill the gaps and will probably swap the Lakeshore fracs out for SDLE quarters, but I'd still kill to make this a purebred Hof Brau set (please release your grip on $5s that you probably never use / forgot you even own - you know who you are!)

Mountain Club, Tracy
(With 10c & $100.00 overlabel add-ons)

This is nothing compared to Windwalker’s mighty set, but it has been a labour of love for me for sure. Good enough for micro-stakes small games with friends and family. - Love the colours and spot pattern in this set.

Thanks so much again to those who have helped me find chips to date!

Still not quite there on a rack of each if anyone does have singles they’d be willing to part with. - A wanted add will follow shortly! Wonder if there are any mythical 10c or 25c singles still floating around as well (even if drilled etc).

I’ve had fun giving some of these a gentle clean. My first attempt with a toothbrush.
