In my old workshop, I had a wall lined with shelves that were angled, a little lower at the back to prevent avalanches. It made things fiarly easy to find but you will never be able to sight everything.
I just wish I had not bolted the shelves so well to the wall at the old workshop! Presently I have store-bought shelves that required assembly. They are around the same size as the old ones and can be re-arranged to give larger or smaller spaces. They are not angled so avalanches happen often. To keep things more in order, I hit upon the idea of using those green shopping bags to store different colours, fabrics, etc. They are cheap, small enough to manage, large enough to hold enough, and sit squarely on the shelves -- just write a general description on the side. Some bags are dedicated to Upcoming Jobs, Unsold Items, Trials, etc. The system is similar to one an old girlfriend had of stacking her fabric in plastic shopping bags with a swatch-tag on each. Still, the green shopping bag system is prone to avalanches although they are more orderly avalanches with identifiable items falling together. As I am not a St Bernard and not keen on any post-avalanche work, I am presently swapping to a see-through storage tub system (the angled shelves are not practical for the current workshop). I wish I had just bought tubs in the first place! -C. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
