[TowerTalk] rack for aluminum tubing

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I use here two Home Depot plastic garbage cans along with a smaller one for
shorter pieces.  They are placed in the corner with the walls giving extra
support for the longer tubes. On advantage is that the length of each piece
is instantly visible.
