Since we live in a tiny one bedroom apartment where we also do scroll work and pen turning, it's really important for use to make good use of our space. This weekend I spent a lot of time getting creative. Fortunately, we at least have five closets and a few extra large cabinets that we bought or built.
Some of this rearranging had to be done since we also got new furniture (Finally some real furniture! Yay!) and had to move our wood storage around. I decided to try and hide as much of it as I could. As you can see, I still have one pile to hide in picture 6... This will be going under the bed soon. There is already one shallow plastic bin under the bed full of wood that I forgot to photograph. I will be making or buying another for these long boards.
The first four pictures are of my new pen supply shelf and everything else that fits in that closet.The lathe stand is able to nest the vacuum in it, and the blank shelf goes from just above the lathe, to pretty much to the ceiling. On the left are all our small scrolling wood scraps. On the right sits a box holding longer boards that aren't prone to warp.
Picture 5 is another stash of wood in our tool closet which sits right behind my mobile grinder stand. I have a couple boxes with bottle stopper blanks and such in this closet as well along with all our hand tools, sander router, dremel, drill, circular saw, and so on.
pictures 7 and 8 are of two small boxes I made for stashing long boads under our dressers in the bedroom.
It feels good to be just a little more organized. I still have more work ahead of me which I will show in a few days when I am done

. They often have curly maple and curly birch. Usually they don't even bother to charge the extra 30 cents. :biggrin: They are so nice, they will pull any board out of the bundle for me too! I'm so lucky to have them as a supplier. And I was very lucky to find such an extremely curly piece. They don't advertise to the public but they will sell to you if you show up. I used to have to pay about 8 times that price if I wanted curly maple from the exotic wood supplier that I go to!
