Case pron! Who stores their chips in anything but plastic racks and birdcages? (1 Viewer)

I have an old 4 drawer filing cabinet that was left in the basement when I bought the house. Probably from the 80s. It's built like a tank.
A drawer can hold 4 full chip cases, plus some other odds and ends in it.

I use this cart, it holds quite a bit but I just don't have a lot of chips.

In the old-timey wood carousels, how many chips are you getting in each compartment? It seems like the older pressed paper chips or bakelite chips would fit 25 to a spot, and modern chips fit a snug 22.

The one I have posted holds 25 per slot

What foam do you use and what do you use to cut it out so neat ?

I used the custom case design tool at https://www.mycasebuilder.com/

Both of the ones I've owned recently have fit 23 (CPC/ASM) with the chips at/slightly below level with the top, and a 24th will fit without sliding up but will stick out on the top.

Edit - Both are older/secondhand and not a new product made for new chips.

Modified my case to hold the dealer button and deck of cards so they don't move around. Will probably end up redoing it with black foam. Just need more chips to fill up the case (y) :thumbsup:

I ordered mine online. I don't remember the name of the site. It wasn't amazon. It was a poker specialty store I believe.

Case with racks modified to fit an extra rack and 2 decks of cards.

I found a way to reuse a box with 3 different whiskey's I got for my birthday. I had some wood racks I purchased here on PCF years ago. The box had a wooden divider already which came in handy. I didn't include a pic under the top racks but 100's and 500's are below.
