Me too, except as a variant, I've found plastic guttering useful for holding stock rather than only fitting plain wooden shelves. Bit more fuss fixing the guttering in place, but it provides 2 or 3 shelves in one, in which I can separate longish lengths of Aluminium, Brass and Steel.

Dear S.O.D., any chance of a piccie or description of how you fix the guttering in place. Profile cut adjuncts to the top of the brackets, maybe?

I ask, because I am going to embark on the same project soon.

Cheers, Colin
