Die box storage?

[anyracoon]

Looking for a slide in storage rack to hold maybe 40-50 die boxes. Any one here either made or bought one?

Thank you for finding and posting this, I have been brain draining over how I was going to dado all of the back sloping shelves, This will really simplify things

In case you really wanted to make one yourself.
You get boards that are 3 to 4 inches wider than you need. Cut them 4 to 6 inches longer than you need.
Using your dado blade to cut each slot on all boards the same time so that spacing is consistent.

Then you stack the boards in order left to right. Screw them together where you have the extra length . With all the slots lined up.

Now you need to cut the angles with a table saw.
What your going to do. Instead of cutting the stacked boards square. You will be cutting out a rectangular out of the stacked boards to create your angle for the shelf dividers.

I haven’t confirmed the slot sizes but I’ve seen some stamp organizers that might work. I’ve been meaning to look into this myself but if I can’t find anything, I’ll likely just build my own.

That E-Bay rack is what I'm looking for. Interesting that they used wood dowels. I'll probably make a jig to drill the holes and cut doweling.

Single stack, I find it necessary to stack my dies 6 deep, my peg board is 36" away.

yeah no wall space so I stack mine 5-6 high on a shelf

That is not as bad as stacking them 6 high and 6 deep.

You guys dont leave them stacked in big piles all over your bench like I do?

wish I had that many caliber guns to shoot, for some reason I have 2 or 3 guns in same caliber now I look at that maybe a mistake.

I have Herter dies with shell holders, I have C&H dies from El Monte, Cal, I have RCBS dies that came in lime colored fiber boxes and Green colored fiber boxes. And then there are the 3 different plastic boxes. I have Hornady, Lee, Hollywood Gun shop, Lyman, Luger, Weatherby, Pacific etc. and Texan dies.

All of that presents another problem when a reloader wants to color coordinate.
