Hmm, I wonder where I could get a tube to hold my vinyl chess boards.  The boards are 20" and I have a small one that's 12''.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  How do you store your vinyl boards?  I need like a poster tube or something...

your local post offfice should keep these in various sizes.

failing that your local art shop may help.

Or you could go to the hardware store and get a length of PVC pipe cut to size. I'm sure you could get rubber or plastic caps for the ends, too. Drill a couple holes in each end, run a heavy cord through, and voila! Instant carrying/storage case for your vinyl boards.

I have a gorgeous light weight and strong aluminum tube with a screw on cap with retaining chain made for a disassembled fishing rod.  $5 at used store.  Probably more like 15 new.
