Default Wood Storage

Hah! I'm wondering if Puck is, also, asking about something he's not
admitting to, that he's as guilty, as some of us (hoarders!), that we
tend to keep all sorts of "scrap" and it starts to overwhelm our
storage/work areas.

Some of my various storage systems are.... disorganized. Lots of
smaller (length) stuff is best described as just heaped in areas, some
horizontal, some vertical. I'm not qualified to recommend a racking
system.... *unless, maybe, you want a system that racks.

Some of you guys sure have a clean shop. Is that normal?

That sheet good rack does look good, though. For my scenario, I'd be
tempted to put heavy duty casters on it, to move it out or out of the
way, when needed. I have an area in the shop's garage (lots of sheet
goods) that could use a wheeled cart. Maybe, center casters lower,
than on the ends, to turn on a dime?

No, no, it's just that I like a nice rack... Especially one that's the
right size for the available space.

It's not the scraps that are causing the problem, it's that I've got
layers upon layers of various sheet goods piled against a wall.
Reasonably sized boards are piled against another wall. It makes it hard
to get to what I need, or even to keep in mind what I have in inventory.
Much of my scrap problem went away with the fire pit.

I've been thinking about wheels as well. It could then fit tight against
the wall and then move out to the aisle when I need a piece. I think
locking casters would be a necessity.
