4. Sort sandpaper in an acrylic magazine rack A vertical hanging magazine rack, the acrylic kind with four pockets, makes a tidy sandpaper station. Assign each pocket a size or grade so sheets stay flat and sorted. A clear rack lets you spot the grit you need at a glance, and new racks are stocked at office supply retailers if you don’t have one waiting in a closet.
5. Mount a rack for fishing rods
Rods store best on the wall, and two materials hold them: a foam pool noodle and a length of PVC pipe three inches in diameter. Cut slits along the noodle, then position it flush against the wall so at least two slits line up over studs. Pull the foam apart at those slits, tuck in a fender washer, and drive two-inch screws through to the framing. Below the noodle, drill one-inch holes every four inches along the PVC pipe and screw it to the wall at a height that lets the rod handles rest in the openings. The upper sections sit snugly in the noodle’s slits, and every rod stays untangled until spring.
