Default Glass rod storage?

Hi,
I got a lot of new glass from a friend. I never had so much glass before. What do you put your glass in so you can see what rods you have and you don't have to rumage in a box to see what you have or a bunch of rods on the work area?
Thanks,
Maggie

Check out the studio forum, there are several threads with pictures there.
Many use either fencing or pvc pipe cut into sections. The fence railing is square so fits together better, but the PVC is working for me for now. Not too expensive either. I have some in an old wine cupboard (insides are gone) and I just bought a "milk crate" that I will expand into as the need arises.

Cool thread, I'm going to browse it.

I use pvc also, it's so cheap. I cut it and stack them into a letter/mail sorter, like this one at Staples, only I get mine at Sam's club for 10.00.

This is what I have to store my glass. I also have some PVC storage that I use for 90 and 96 glass.
