I’ve found plastic storage containers to be pretty good for storing my cut up steel over the years.

Fair warning, if you drop or incorrectly pick these up it all ends in tears – but the air tight ones work a treat (I hadn’t opened the red screw top in 10 years and the bars have NO surface rust).

Of course the more types of bars meant the headache of where/how to store all the containers.  This lead to:

Yes, it’s a little over-engineered – 50mm treated wood is perhaps a little overkill, but I was concerned about the timber warping with the weight. The pigeon hole setup works a treat – if you label the containers.

For the lengths yet to be cut up, there was really only 1 viable solution:

And yes, it took me ages to clear the junk off the top to get those 2 last shots.

Here is my modest collection

As I increased my bending stock i needed to find a quick and easy way to store it, so decided to take the sled I use to saw sheet goods on my table saw and convert it into a bending cart/ table saw sled. A quick and dirty build that most people could do with no problems. I only need to add the retractable casters.
