..whats the best way to store these in a
fashion that is easy to pick out a cutter and use, but protects them
from each other? Space limitations are the killer, as in any shop.

Anyone have any nifty ways to suggest?

Would it be possible to build something like a wine rack (or spice
rack), with a spot for each cutter, and mount it on the wall of your
shop?

I've seen this done. All the saws sorted, hung on pegs against the wall.
Looked pretty reasonable, but it does take wall space. Maybe behind the
mill?

You could also extend this idea by swinging plywood leaves on stout
hinges, with pegs on both sides, on maybe a 6" spacing. I've seen
this used on a larger scale for light stuff (model airplane parts).
Sort of flip through the leaves. If the leaves were say 1' wide X 2'
high, you should be able to fit up to a dozen cutters per side. Of
course, this works better for slotters than for some 3" wide 10 lb.
plain milling cutter.
