Great job Shannon. Did the kids help with the video and stacking? I like how you got the tie-in to buy more poker chips in at the end. Well done.

A big thanks to Jojobinks for editing in the embedded video (instead of just a link).

This video is in a class by itself as an instructional video. I also like the plug at the end to buy more chips. Nicely done.

Hey, Shannon: Nice to finally put a voice to the name!

When I was younger, I remember going to the mall and seeing LEGOs build into national monuments. That's what this reminded me of. I wonder if you could replicate a well recognizable casino into a smaller scale done completely with poker chips.

Nice tower!
Loved the time lapses. You should have done more of them as you built it.

I love the chip tower spiral. I would have never thought to do that.

I'd love to see more of your creations with poker chips. I don't think I'd have the patience to do anything like that. Great job.

Thanks for the nice comments -- it's very much appreciated.

As for my creations -- honestly I didn't have a clue until I saw CT's own 2_hotty and his spirals. In fact in my video shoot I credited 2_hotty but due to editing/time needs I had to cut out a ton, included the mention on his name.

On second thought I guess I can claim one pretty cool creation. If you go to Forum Jump --> Poker Chips --> Chip Tricks and look for The Pharaoh Village -- still my favorite build.

Thanks again.

Mine too. In fact, I showed it to a colleague at work just the other day.

That was pretty amazing! I wound never imagine doing anything like that.
