Since I'm still a couple of months away from getting back into my house/shop, I'm looking at all of the suggestions. This is the perfect chance to set up a good storage system for stock.
One thing that came to mind is the rotating rack that Home Depot uses for 6' metal stock. That might allow easy access with a smaller footprint. Loops of light chain across each section would hold the pieces in while allowing easy removal.
For long stock, I had a pair of inverted T-shaped brackets that I welded up. I'm sure they threw them away, but I can make some new ones very easily. They were screwed to a couple of joists about 5' apart, giving two sections on which to lay long stock. Anything just over 5' long, up to 10' or so could hang there, just below the joists.
Good thread. Thanks, Ken.
