So, this is my other youtube channel. For those following. I am considering posting video updates on this thread. Here is my latest adventure:

Thought I'd start a thread this year. Some topics that have already come up: 1) How to spell "Categories" 2) Where do you buy chips in Europe? 3) What stock chip sets would you recommend people consider?

I'm doing a Q&A video next week so now is a good time to ask me anything. Going to answer as many questions/requests as I can. Here is the video where I announce it -

We had a bit of a pre-Thanksgiving argument about shrimp tails. My whole life I've been eating shrimp and I don't eat the tail - deep fried, boiled, whatever. We had some butterfly shrimp yesterday and I was told that you are SUPPOSE to eat the tail. To me that sounds an awful lot like eating...

Oh dear, it's come to this. I've always had an interest in how chips are made and it takes a lot of time just to fail over and over again. There must be someone out there with an awesome recipe for a homemade chip, Mmmm chocolate chip cookies...

Anyone else love dress shoes? One of these days I need to get some bespoke shoes. Until then....

Trying to get a feel for people's tastes. Neither of these may be your favorite set, but which one do you like more? Funny I didn't call them nickles.

Decided to sell a stack of my Promo chips. These are not the exact chips being sold but they look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182752672636?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Here we go again. NO limits. ANY THING, EVER, doesn't matter if they are in a playable set. Can be just one denom or the whole set. I really think some casino sets are topping this list. Sorry, all you BJones fans, I'm going with: 1) 1998 Bellagio (full set) OR 1) Mapes (individual chips ($1...

Something different. Just got my Custom Blue Chip Promo's this week. So sad they only offer promotional chips, to me at least. To my inexperienced eyes they look like a no-mold, oversized inlay, BC Horizon Blue base color and 312 white edge spots pattern? Nothing too special, but fun.

What do you think of Cromwell casino chips? Anyone know who makes these? Does the manufacturer sell to the public? The fingerprint texture is pretty cool. Wider at one side they more dense at the other. They are not flat though, you can see just to the right of the 5 some horizontal wear marks...

This morning, "Want to see the Alamo?" Me,"The Alamo Casino? Awesome, let's go!" Confused looks, "No, THE Alamo." Guess it's right here in the middle of San Antonio, who knew? I googled Alamo Casino, guess it's a truck stop. I've spent WAY too much time on this forum....

The whole time reading this I just kept thinking, "I wonder if we'll see some more casino chips come to the market?" Go 888! http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-federal-raid-bicycle-casino-20170404-story.html

See it to believe it. Horseshoe Cleveland really does have a new name and is my favorite, barely. Excluding the racinos, what is your favorite Ohio casino?

Time to address the elephant in the room, what's your favorite STOCK set that is CURRENTLY in production available to consumers? Mine - for today: New Money no-issue: CPC CSQ Rounders New Under $400 (set of 500): Tiki Kings New Under $300 (500): Dunes China Clays New Under $200 (500): Milano...

When I started looking for chips a few years ago hotstamp sets didn't interest me. Hehe, now they are all I look at. I can't figure out why they are so interesting to me. This happen to anyone else? Maybe I'm backward and people start with hotstamping, no idea.

What would you call the texture on: Nevada Jack Skulls, Scroll ceramics, Spaydz, Paulson and CPC? For me, Paulson - crosshatching; CPC - fine checkering; Nevada Jack Skulls - fine stippling; Spaydz - matte Always looking to find better terms.

What is your favorite type of wood to work with for poker table construction? Table top, legs, apron, race track - anything wood. Would anyone use a non plywood/MDF/OSB as a table top? It seems counter-intuitive but there is always a part of me that wants to use 6/4 red oak or walnut under the...

Both have a radial design but they seem different, if not opposite, in purpose. Could a watch design also be a good poker chip design? Has this ever been done?

Just finished a very mediocre trip to Utah (pictured) and wondering, "how did I end up out there?" I'm now visiting family, which is equally mediocre. Where do you like to vacation? You may have noticed this poll is skewed slightly toward gambling. I think NYC, Chicago, LA and San Francisco...
