A few months ago, I started collecting "vintage" poker chips for a project I was considering. One thing led to another, and now I find myself with a fledgling collection of illegals, as well as a number of unattributed chips. My immersion into chip collecting aside, I've finally completed the original project and I thought I'd share it with all of you. It was a blast to build--but will be even more fun to use!

Many thanks to Doc Finstuen and Gene Trimble for their time, patience and knowledge in answering my questions about illegals. And apologies to anyone else who might have gotten tired of seeing my posts asking for "old chips."
