Gads!! With all the dowels I already had plus all the ones I've been making lately trying different methods of making them, I realized throwing them at one end of my bench isn't cutting it as storage!! What a colossal mess!! So I decided to make storage for different size dowel. Mainly for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Here are the pieces for each storage unit cut up. There will be three. Each storage unit is made up of 1/4" baltic birch plywood as a backer board and three 2" diameter x 1" pieces of scrap pipe. The 1st ring is the bottom. I used 5 minute epoxy to adhere a piece of Baltic Birch on and flush trim routed it. Vertically the 2nd ring is spaced 3" on center to the 1st. The 3rd is spaced 5" from the 2nd. Then I epoxied these on the backer board as shown here. This spacing of the rings allows for different dowel length storage. I can store as small as a 2-1/2" long piece and as long as 36" or longer with these storage units. Here's an overall dimensional view: On the back of each one I made a couple of keyhole slots which enable me to quickly pluck each storage unit off the cabinet if I need to for any reason. Thanks for looking! Feel free to comment, ask questions and " thumbs up " if you like it! Cheers! MrRick
