acromegaman Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have recently bought some materials to make a rack for my steel and I started wondering How others stored theirs. So how about it? I will provide pics of mine when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.. ^^^ Except my stock is in a metal paint can. Too messy at the present to provide a picture... will do when I clean up a bit!

acromegaman Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've got a lot myself and I'm thinking of a stationary pvc holder for mine. I need to buy a couple more caps and maybe add on something to hold my wraps and bands. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just an idea, get a 2x6, some sort of plastic pipe, and a hole saw that you can partially drill the board with. Pipe should fit in the round cuts, glue it in. Maybe water bottles for the pipe if you find some the right shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrido Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I have some plastic boxes with silica pads inside them to avoid a little bit rust. For example : 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anwnate Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm in the process of creating a new Gym in the Basement. (Bigger and weatherproof) Decided I wanted to include steel storage in the design. Super heavy duty. Should be able to hold a piece or two. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Nothing fancy, but it's efficient. This box lives in a file cabinet drawer with other boxes, wraps, sharpies, tape measure, printed out protractor, and a bunch of rubber bands. Cut, grind, wipe down with denatured alcohol, band together with the line from the packing slip. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmiller67 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 No frills... still a little messy- but it gets it done! Plus 60-hr work weeks aren't exactly conducive to having a neat bending area! Always busy around the holidays. Great pics by all... salute gentleman! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I descided it was time to get more organized and bought these storage containers today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 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.
