Project storage
« on: December 23, 2015, 10:30:29 pm »
How does everyone store their completed projects? I have been collection a bunch of projects. I will try to sell them this spring but for now some of them are delicate and I want to make sure they're still in tact by the spring.  TIA

Welcome to the site. For small projects I use boxes like shoe boxes and some a little larger. For larger portraits I hang some on my wall and stack others in a large box. The key is to keep them away from small children and clumsy adults.

I have been collecting the polystyrene (foam) boxes from my local Hotel (pub). They are the boxes that have the salmon delivered in. They store many of my projects, including my pens. I just add a frozen ice brick into the box and this protects the pens from the heat. Longer items would fit in there easily as well. I use bubble wrap to further protect the items.
The plus side is, they are quite strong and stack-able, and they are free.

My parents must have been psychic, as a child they were always telling me to 'Cut It Out'. So they knew a long time ago that I would become a scroll saw artist.

I use plastic totes and lay my items flat with a towel between each layer. I go to the dollar stores and buy the towels. I buy good heavy duty totes because I stack them in my trailer to transport to shows.

I bought "mailer" boxes from Uline and store my boxes in them.  Cost me 89 cents each.

I use zip-lock bags. Insert project, fill with air, sip it shut to seal it, and it is in its own bubble. I also number all of my projects and write the number on the bag with a permanent marker.
Turning itty-bitty lines into sawdust. There is a fine line between aweSOME and aweFUL (this is especially true when using a scrollsaw).
