How to Build a Basic Poker Chip Tower (3 Viewers)

[UW85]

Sometime ago Sidepot.com (aka buypokerchips.com) had a contest for people to make a video using their chips and the winner got a nice set of some kind of chip. Here was my entry, didn't win, but hey, it can be fun to build in your free time!

(is there a way to embed the video here rather than the link?)

Heh, this looks like great fun! It is the sort of thing my "inner child" would really enjoy! I have sometimes done this on a small scale with a few chips before but I never really thought anything of it. I should have known there would be a competitive version out there somewhere! I doubt I have enough chips to be a winner in this kind of thing but I'd sure have fun playing!

When I first looked at the chip tower, I thought it'd be impossible for me to learn, but it's actually looks really easy to build. I'm going to try and build a chip tower myself once I get enough chips for it.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Like "How in the world did he do that??" While I am glad to know how easy it was, it kinda took the illusion away. Like when they reveal the secrets behind magic tricks lol. I think I have one of the first decorative features for my poker room! I would have to find some way to make sure someone can't know it over -- maybe glue them together or put something around them. Pretty awesome, nonetheless.

Glue them together? Not a bad idea just make sure you use some cheap plastic chips!

i fixed it.

thanks!

 

[apriapism]

lol awesome, but I don't think I'd have the patience to do that.

 

[iblonger]

I think me and my daughter may just do this tonight!

 

[UW85]

lol awesome, but I don't think I'd have the patience to do that.

Seriously, it doesn't take that long and it's so easy! Try it!

I sadly can´t watch it.

It´s blocked in Germany for whatever reason

Do you maybe have some kind of music in the video? Because most YouTube videos including music are getting blocked in Germany for copyright/license reasons...

It´s ridiculous.

 

[UW85]

That's wild & YES, it has a cut called Sirius (I think) from Alan Parson's Project. In fact my video was taken down temporarily until YouTube put a link to iTunes for that song onto my video. So if the people here are fine with it, why would Germany care? That's nuts. You can't use a "proxy server" to by-pass their filter? Kids do it all day long in public schools.

PCA's? Love those chips. Well done BTW. Those are some great structures!

 

[dowdyrich]

ummm.. the title says basic... These are way to awesome to be considered basic lol! I am loving the bridges!

 

[Far_Mur_Jo]

Good times! I've done that before, but with substantially less chips. I swear, one of the reasons I love the game is because I liked playing with my father's poker chips when I was a kid. They just feel so good in your hand, and you can do loads of stuff with them.

Here is one I did a few weeks ago. I live in the greater Seattle area so I thought I would give this a try...

Extra special with the TRKs... Love it.

Here is one my brother, Noelsarchs built a few years ago before he sold his PNY's.
Not only is it pretty, but it is strong enough to hold a bottle of $75 scotch!

 

[KingZilla]

UW great job and great video. The fact that the top of the tower is completely flat is amazing.

 

[wiploc]

That's awesome, never seen how you guys do those towers before. Will have to give this a try later, my daughter loves playing with the chips with me as well.
