They can also be stored upright or horizontal. I discovered [accidentally ] that some of those cheap metal wire shelves are perfectly spaced to the exact width of a tube. It makes for a pretty clever storage setup (...if I do say so myself... ! ) ;-) Steph Attachments EpromStorage.jpg 63.9 KB · Views: 50
