Metal storage

[WCraig]

I'm trying to get my shop a little more organized and decided I needed to have better storage for random small pieces of metal. Most of my pieces are less than 24" and it turns out that I had that much space under the bench the lathe sits on. I decided to use some cheap 4 inch PVC pipe from the home centre to make dividers or cubbies. Here is the result:



The shelf just rests on top of the 2 pvc pipe pieces. Hopefully I'm not overloading them. Very small pieces are in the cardboard box below. A few pieces that are too long for the available space are standing in a pail just off to the right.

Thanks, definitely going to use a variation of that idea.

Very nice. I could use a little organization like that. This is surely better than the buckets I worked out of for years, tho.

I use big plastic crates for stock under 2 feet.
