I like that man with his mower gadget. :thumbup: Here's a couple of my pix. My large sheet materials are mostly of the wooden variety, so a little easier to handle. 1. Just different materials on pallets on the floor 2. Proper version of pic 1 3. Sheet storage of all types. Main uprights could hold the full sheets and offcuts go in the centres 4. ditto May spark one of your cunning plans. :D Pete |

Nice Pallet racking Pete :thumbup: Sadly no room in the welding shop for that or it would be ideal. |

Andrew I use ( for wood sheets 18 and 20mm ply) slotted beams on the floor. Cut slots into them at intervals to stop base of sheet sliding about . Then stack on edge with one edge in a slot. If you did that and put a wire rope over top or chain to stop em coming over at you should one get "nudged" by something /someone should be safe. To extract a sheet use your sheet puller on the end to withdraw lengthwise from the stack, assuming you have end access? Regards Ian |

Here's the relevant entry: (The prices are 1971/72!!) |

I gave up in the end, and, fed up with a pile of 6 mm 2.5 x 1.25 Metre steel plates on the floor of the workshop I cut them all down into half sheets that will lay flat on a pallet. My old Duplex 1/4" nibbler worked overtime cutting many feet of plate, but worked an absolute treat, producing a very impressive pile of 6 mm cubic shrapnel :bugeye: |
