Title: How the sausage is made!
Post by: picket on January 25, 2021, 01:10:52 PM
Get ready for more clean match awards this Saturday!  Custom made by Yours Truly.  When I become President some day, these will be worth millions of dollars.  Collectors will write books about how to tell a fake from an original.

Pickett,

If you don't want it, you better get in touch with Trump or you may get stuck with it. 😊

After the Ferric Chloride soak (1 hr), bathe in some baking soda to neutralize, dry, dip in Liver of Sulfur for patina, bathe in baking soda, dry........ Finally, with a little elbow grease and some steel wool, we have our finished product:

Pickett,

I don't know how many you made but I handed out about 300 poker chips one year.
