We have quite a bit of sheet metal that we cut into smaller pieces for the students to start learning how to work filler and paint. The other teacher built a really nice rack for our small size panels. I attached a picture of it. It will hold a lot of small panels.I need some ideas for storing 4x8 sheets and the smaller pieces so I can get to it. Small piece like the mortal kombat are about 18x18" and the Maverick is 4'x4'. We need something that will hold all sizes. ( or two somethings)Anyone have any ideas? Attached ImagesLast edited by Crabo; 03-27-2013 at 12:35 AM.
Reply:Many moons ago when I worked in a scenery shop, we kept our smaller sheet metal squares in rectangular milk crates. The 18" pieces may fit in something like that stored up on edge. I don't do much sheet metal fab I'm my shop now, but would suggest trying to keep it laying down flat. If you have a rack with long enough arms and the metal is very thin. M
Reply:My one supplier has a rack in which they store all their miscellaneous sheet goods since they only keep 5 or 6 or less of some items in stock. The rack has a series of vertical bars similar to what your 1s pict shows, with a solid floor and the sheet goods are kept long ways ie 4' high, 8' long. I've found really thin 4x8 sheets stored vertical ( 8' tall) can be a real PITA to handle and they tend to want to fold if not held just right. Also simply the weight of the material can cause them to bow and they can take a set if they sit long enough this way. Flat works best, but takes up a lot more room and the framing needed to support the material if you go with multiple shelves eats up tons of space, or costs a fortune if you go with heavy sheet for solid shelves...No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan |
