Low-cost Pipe Storage From Target

[fightnhampster]

I was at my local Target today and came some sunglass holders on clearance. They were in what I call the "dollar section." It's the section right when you walk in the door instead has items for $1, $3 or $5.

Eyeballing them, they looked like they would be a great way to store extra pipes.

Bought four of them, for $2.50 a piece. Will update with the results.

Looks like a good deal.

IIRC, @TheIronMonkey also uses sunglasses cases for organizing pipes.

I do. I recently had to move a bunch of stuff for new electricians to complete the work started by an electrician that went out of business during the pandemic. I took the opportunity to reorganize some of my Italian, French, and American pipes back in February. The sunglasses cases work well for smaller pipes. The cases are easy to close up and move or store, or keep open for display. I like them quite a bit.

After years of having racks made for me, I started using these cases too.

Looks like a great way to store and display your pipes. I didn’t know sunglasses cases were a thing. I guess some people collect pipes, and some collect sunglasses

There are also many of us who collect watches, and hey have cases also...

This is a good idea. Way nicer than the random piles I have on bookshelves.

Yes! That is what I have been dealing with. My racks overflowed then spilled out into the tabletop

That is a great idea, I'll have to get some of those cases!

Has anyone ever tried storing pipes in L-boxx tool storage systems? Maybe i
Should start a new thread.
