   Chiefsfan,

   I saw this solution someplace a while ago so I adopted it for myself.  It's a three level box about 2'deepx3-4'long and 4' high. There is about an 8" section for the 4'ish pieces, an 8" section for the 3'ish pieces and 8" for a the 1'ish pieces...it is tiered inside.  It all made from inexpensive ply and on wheels. I dadoed in 1/4" ply into 3/4" sides for the different levels.  The plywood sides are cut on an angle, front to back, with the front about 2'high and the back about 4' high.

   More importantly, that is it.  if I want to save a piece and there is no room..a decision has to be made...gotta restrict myself or else i would be over run and it would be dangerous.  Of course, the one problem I have is with all those good pieces..I am reluctant to use them for what they were intended....(sigh)

   Hmmm. I store my shorts in the upper right hand drawer in my dresser. If I kept them at my shop, I might never change them. <g>

   ...Rubbermaid ¯ containers...

   Does anyone else have a "heirarchy of projects" for your cutoffs? Cutoffs that I can't immediately use on a current or future project are earmarked for a series of Coat trees, footstools, picture frames and keepsake boxes...now in every room in every house of every member of my immediate family, close and distant relatives, close friends, distant acquaintences, and their in-laws, and their close and distant relatives...etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum...

   I also have a healthy supply of tenon keys (because you should always have a spare set of keys!), corner blocks, pre-cut splines, and other related items that I can make in volume now from my cutoffs to save me time later.

   It keeps those Rubbermaid ¯ containers from getting too full!

   Happy Holidays!

   Sometimes I am envious of the people that get to work with wood for a hobby rather than a living, because they have the time to build a beautiful wood storage rack like your second picture. Me, I have been trying to finish a mirror for my girlfriend for four months but I am to busy with work that pays to finish it! She really, really wants it by the holidays. We'll see.
