I went in to Off Mandrel in Glasgow and they had Ikea garage shelves with pieces of board slid down between the slats of the shelves, nice idea if you have that much glass but I'm building a mini one for my little collection but with room to grow as many have pointed out It will get out of hand

My pipes are just stacked in a kitchen unit with extra shelves in, they are a nice neat fit. It's on castors for ease of moving it. The drawer is handy for frit.

That's what I want! Kiln and tool box on the top... sorted! I am deserate for my own space - I keep everying in boxes and have to upack, set up on the dining room table and re-pack it all again after I'm done. My glass store is a cardboard box

(A cardboard box - and we were lucky to have that!!) sorry, shows my age!!

I started like that Cath, using the kitchen table and clearing up every time, with all my glass in a coffee jar. But it has evolved somewhat! I've pushed the dining table to one side and taken over the conservatory!

LMAO, do you have to get up an hour before you go to bed and lick the road clean with your tongue!!!!!

I am going to have to take over the conservatory eventually, but I'm executing a carefully-planned phased strategy so my OH won't notice until it's too late (I've already sneaked a kiln and oxycon in as "permenant" features!!!!) My next stage is to put some pipes full of glass in the unused sections of the wine rack...

All my glass is stored in glass vases that I have rescued from the charity shops, I just love being able to see all the colours at one glance. Maybe one day I will get to the point when I have so much that I need to think of another way of storing it, but until then it is on display in all it's glory.....

I love the kitchen unit idea!

I thought I'd update you with my glass storage system as my dad worked so hard to make me another and I had to tell someone how great he is....you lot will understand  The upright version on the top is the original that dad said I would never fill........oh ye of little faith!! I now have lots more holes for lots more glass

You know what they say about people showing off, Helen

*wonders why her Dad couldn't be a joiner*

Oh gawd......hope that's not what you really think

'Course not Helen ((hugs)) - just teasing!!!! Hope your Dad knows that, no matter how many of these he builds, you'll always need a new one eventually? 

[sparrow]

....and am I the only one who's counted the holes in your storage? 210

OMG I am sooooooo jealous!

Mine is stored in a unit thing that I got from the skip at college!  The facilities men were just about to bin it so I asked if I could have it!  They said that the PE teacher had asked for it but hadn't come back for it so yes I could have it, the PE teacher caught me taking it to my car but assumed I was a teacher (because I am sooooo young!!) and let me keep it!!


My torch bench, I got both my benches out of a skip outside a cafe being refitted!!!

My torcher room used to be the downstairs bathroom before I moved in, it was moved upstairs just before I got here.
