as a part of making the workshop more organised I decided to build some storage for pen blanks...
name tags are removable so that they can be swapped as necessary...

will build another with three levels in the same height for the woods where I only have a few blanks...

files drawn up in illustrator, and then cut on the laser - based on 150mm blanks / two wide / two deep and twelve high - as that a) fitted on the particular shelf and b) fitted in the laser to be cut!

Love the idea and for one moment I thought “hey I could use that Idea” ! Then realised how many species of wood I have as well as the many different acrylics and Corian, I gave up thinking of how much wall space I would need 😬 mine are all in airtight storage boxes, apart from the ones I get out for turning.
