REPURPOSED HOMEMADE MIB CASES !!!!!!!

[Chad G.]

Here are some pics of repurposed jewelry, cigar, and game boxes I made using simple egg foam.

First an old back gammon box, even has pockets for a loupe, extra mib bags, and a cleaning rag, the plastic calipers for measuring are under the foam, my "favorite" mobile case. I just put the mibs in it for show !!!  Up to 3/4" a 1" is just to much unless this is all I had.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Chad G.

This is an old cigar humidor, it would take a pry bar to open and is also airtight. A very resilient case and excellent for protecting those high dollar goodies, also w/ locking capabilities. 19/32nds to 5/8ths are best, w/ no movement when closed. I've just spotted the marble counting partner lurking in the 3rd pic.

This is an enormous and very old what I believe to be ladies jewelry and trinket box,( bigger than the backgammon box ) still has the brass skeleton key and "working" lock mechanism. This is some large foam, box is capable of holding 1" to 1,1/4" mibs easily. Definitely made for home display or storage, not something I'd want to lug around.

The backgammon one never occurred to me, but it really is a versatile idea with those extra sections.   

And not too hard to come by at thrift stores.

Exactly where I found it them, I bought two of them that day. for a total of $3.00

Never thought of the backgammon cases.  Great idea and well within my budget.  Thanks.

" You're welcome " It's worked well for me, the only thing that cost a little was the foam, still not going to break the bank !!!
