How do you store your raw stock?
"Randy" wrote in message ... I just made a new stock rack. Old rack had angled arms for round stock, that was a PITA, stock would always roll together and make it a bitch to get the peice in the middle or back out. New rack has all level arms, with a hole drilled for a stop on the end. I hope this works out much better. Every time I'd get a stock delivery I was always asking the truck drivers if they had seen a good way to store stock. Every one said stock racks are always a mess, some even worse than mine (which I find hard to believe). www.enter.net/~rbraun/stockrack1.jpg www.enter.net/~rbraun/stockrack2.jpg 4" channel base, 4" beams for uprights. I think I'll just store aluminum on the old rack and put only steel on this one. Thank You, Randy Remove 333 from email address to reply. holy crap i just remembered a story. my local steel supplier, newburgh (NY) steel, one day i went there and their horizontal storage racks were all lying down crumpled into a massive pile of twisted steel. most of the material was ruined. they said a delivery truck had caught a corner of the rack and pulled the entire multi-TONS of materials down. it was jaw dropping to see. wish i had thought to take pictures. b.w. |

As long as nobody got squished. Steel can be replaced and recycled easily enough. |
