[TowerTalk] rack for aluminum tubing

[Grant Saviers]

I use the bent steel tube "L shape hang all"  from Harbor Freight 
screwed to studs.  On every other stud, these are strong enough to 
handle a few 20' lengths of steel structural shapes.

Grizzly also sells a rack system that needs to be bolted to the wall.

Unfortunately, my shop walls are mostly taken and the tube frame storage 
building has no studs, so in it I thread tubing into the wire rack 
shelving available from Costco. Two 4' wide shelves spaced to handle 16' 
lengths and 6 shelves allows a lot of storage of my aluminum farm.

Short pieces go into a 3' x 3' x 2' plywood bin I made and subdivided 
with 3/8" rebar.  Of course a lot of it will telescope into a couple 
sizes smaller. I also use HD 5 gal buckets with used cardboard mailing 
tubes for short steel stock.  I cut a scrap plywood round to go inside 
so the bottom doesn't get punched out.
