    I went and got some large empty boxes and cut them to size and use them,they work out great,just be careful of the bends in the cardboard,they can weaken the board.You can get these at any store when they are putting out stock,some stores even put them outside.

    Yep, I always say "put it back on the bolt please" If not I just cut up big ole boxes and make my own bolts.

I've been throwing out the other boards and buying the fabric boards a package at a time. They are worth it.

    I get them wherever fabric is sold. Rarely does anyone turn me down.

    For years I've asked for the boards from my LQS & sometimes they'll give them - others won't. I've found I can recycle the flaps or sides of cardboard boxes when I receive products in the mail. It does save space to use flat boards vs the bolt cores.
