Since storage is a hot topic, I've got a question. Do you guys have any special way that you store binding/purfling strips?

Yeah, I built an open frame box out of 1 x 3"'s and put a bunch of shipping tubes in it and store the bindings and purflings in there.

I use pvc and abs pipe. I just side glue a bunch together and place each different pattern in it's own tube. I have about twenty or more different styles now so I will be making new storage VERY soon with my current order, with a couple of new patterns, including weissenborn lengths, on the way!

Ron, I made up a little cubby holder out of scrap 1/4" plywood.

Ditto shipping tubes.

I keep my bindings,purflings and kerfing in capped regular plastic drainpipe sections. Each set of bindings is bound together with tape, purflings with rubber bands. I just stand them in the corner of my wood storage room.

whatever type of tubing i can scrounge!

Thanks, guys. So far I have left mine in the tube containers they shipped in, but I want to make some kind of rack while I'm overhauling my shop.
