Best way to store/hold/rack TIG wire?

wrote: Ive got about 300 lbs of TIG welding wires of all types. Stainless, phos/bronze, sil/bronze, mild steel etc etc. Probably 12 different types/sizes. Much of it came came in 2" PVC open topped tubes made up by the company I got it from , a fair amount of it is in 1 1/4 PVC screw top tubes made up by me. Anyone got any neat racking ideas for my shop? Im getting tired of both sorting through the tubes for what Im needing at the moment and having them piled up and getting dusty and whatnot. Any suggestions, pictures etc etc would be marvelous. Gunner In the welding shop at work, the TIG stock is kept in a rack made up of sections of ~ 1.5" diameter pipe welded to a bottom plate. The setup is a row of about 8 pipes, sitting on the floor. (We only need that many different types/sizes.) It sorta looks like a good way to launch a volley of mortar-type fireworks. The pipe is about 4" shorter than the rod. The info is written on the sides of the pipes. Ours are Al pipe, but I suppose steel would be OK, especially in the steenkin' desert. Joe |
