Storage of all your chips (1 Viewer)

[Seeking Alpha Social Club]

Doing a swing out shelf might be a challenge, as the deeper the shelf, the more problems you'll face with clearances. You could do a really shallow shelf, or you just put a picture (on a hinge), and then have storage drawers behind it. Like these cabinet drawers I installed:

Love the drawers. That's exactly what I envisioned under the pull out drawer. I was thinking about a door that use a pop out magnetic latch (left side), and hidden hinges on the right hand side.

The picture idea is a good one too.

Here's my favorite chip storage. However, as my poker chip addiction grew, I quickly learned that my house isn't near big enough to keep building hidden storage drawers in the wall.

Presumably you keep your James Bond Paulsons in there?

LOL! I wish I would have been smart enough to pick up a couple thousand before prices skyrocketed. (n) :thumbsdown:

After getting all my racks from pgi I couldnt wait to get my chips displayed. Picked up these two bookshelves which fit perfectly. No theyre not exactly what I want but will hold me over till I find the right shelves. Looking for something shorter and wider. Maybe 8 feet wide and 4 feet high approximately and in black. Ikea has some that look pretty close to what I want. Also linking an old post of a cool 1000 ct chip case I fiexed up for chip storage from CT.

Where did you this wonderful gem!

I had it made by a Amish woodworker in Pennsylvania. It is an adaptation of a flat file cabinet they made (they are now out of business) for architects and artists.

I found Amish Furniture Connections, a company that works with a number of Amish woodworkers. Check out this cabinet. For chip storage, one would want reinforced drawers and probably upgraded drawer sliders.

Disclaimer: I have not done business with this firm, have not actually seen their products in real life, and don't know anybody who has purchased anything from them.

I need to find a guy near Chambersburg, PA. I'm sure there are a few Amish builders in the area.

Any good woodworker would do, but these folk already made a cabinet that could be easily adjusted. Just plan out dimensions. Width/Depth ratio is important so it doesn't tip forward when you pull the heavy drawers out. My chest can take 2 drawers out at one time safely. 3 is tippy. The larger the drawers the more weight it has to carry. Also, think through the drawer depth to make sure a rack and chip height fits. Most flat files have drawers that aren't high enough for a normal rack with chips.
I designed mine for 3 racks wide x 5 deep with room for card storage or buttons and whatnot. If you have oversized chips, factor that into a drawer or two.

Also, I found the suits drawer pulls online. Search for the pulls first before you have them drill holes in the drawers. Once that's done, you may be narrowing down your options.

I like to keep them on my desk right in front of me

This is crazy beautiful!!

100 year old glass-front barrister bookcase, picked up at the Brimfield Antiques Show this summer in Massachusetts. Not yet chock-full-o-chips, but soon.

Its crazy how many people are using or converting book cases and other furniture for storage

My house foundation is brick so I have a nice 10 inch oak ledge around the entire basement to set things on. It's the perfect size for a bird cage so all my sets are on birdcages on the oak edge.

I don't really have a close up shot but you can see a few of the birdcages on the ledge

I ordered 20 more racks from unique. I have 1000 classics and 300 more wthc to add to the shelf when the racks arrive .

Thanks

Where did you get this!!!?

eBay, reputable sellers and free shipping, but it's available several places. Seville Ultra HD 6 drawer rolling cart. A bit of a pain to assemble but solid and good price. I installed a dealer tray in the top.

I have one that I use for my reloading bench along with the tall work bench that the chest sits under. Very solid stuff
