Nifty idea for storing chalk in your cue case.

Over the years I've bought a few rings from the jewelry stores. I am a packrat of sorts, never throwing away anything I think I may use in the future. I have several of the little spring-loaded flip-up boxes that the ring comes in of various sizes (depending on which store you purchased a ring from). I pulled the guts from a couple of these boxes and found that the smaller ones perfectly hold two pieces of chalk and my Tip-Pik while the larger one perfectly holds four pieces of chalk and my Tip-Pik. Either fits nicely into the pockets of my cue cases. Good for keeping chalk from getting all inside the pocket and easily accessed. Way better than the zip-lock bag I was using. Just thought I'd share this info.

Blue Diamond chalk comes in a nice little box that holds two pieces of chalk.

I just keep one of those in my case. Works great and keeps things clean.

Nice idea, was thinking about this last night as my case is a pain to dig through, would be nice to keep my chalk, tip pik and tip tool in one place. :smile:
 
Oooooor you could call royce at ob1 and get him to sell you some of the chalk holders hes got. I think he only sells em in bulk but thats fine. I just flip em at the pool hall, for beer money. Theyre like the blue diamond cases but they hold 2,3 or 4 peices and close to fit snugly around the chalk.
 
Chalk boxes

Certain Rx tubes are perfect for two or three cubes.

Sang Lee sells his own brand of chalk in a nice three pack plastic box.
 
I just use the 12 piece box......keep some chalk, some pennies, and anything else I like, works fine....gets a little chalk on the items, but I'm not picky and it keeps it off the case...
 
I think the guys over at Euro Pocket Chalker made some leather-made cases that hold either 2 or 3 pieces of chalk. I got two of the cases that hold 2 cubes made from a brown suede and it matches my Instroke Buffalo great. It's about the same size as the Blue Diamond chalk box with a top flap that is buttoned closed. I just checked their website but couldn't find it. I'll keep digging around to see if I can find where I found them in the first place.
 
All shapes and sizes as well as thicknesses..

Still nothing is better then the old 1980 like camera film holders (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:...o_3869929-film-canister-for-analog-camera.jpg). My dad used them for quarters, I use them for chalk.

WOW. Great idea. I use em for quarters; Keep em in my car for parking meters.

I'll bet I could figure out some neat arrangement to fasten one to the outside of my cue case. 1) save room in the pockets for the WAY TOO MUCH STUFF that I carry and 2) keep the chalk REALLY REALLY handy!

Thanks for the post.
