Hey guys,

the topic has never come up ( i dont think) but how do you guys store your sandpaper for use on the bench?
i have always cut mine up into small pieces (3X4 inches)....and i kept them in a small cardboard box........well it was falling apart so i thought it was time for something more durable........

i usually keep 8 different grits ready to go at all times........220, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000, and like i said i cut them up into small pieces...so now its time for a new storage bin...

i took a cigar box (thanks virgil) and then i cut up some pieces of "foamboard" to use as spacers.......

i glued them in place, and there ya go......easy to reach, and organized! no more diggin for sandpaper! i used some small round white stickers to mark what grit was in what bin.........and that was that!
