In the past, I’ve stored all of my magazines and catalogs in a filing cabinet. Over the years, the cabinet became completely full. So I came up with a storage solution that uses the wire ribbing from inexpensive file folders (photo below) and a simple wall-mounted rack. This allows me to store magazines right in the shop where they’re close at hand.
The ribs can be cut free from the folders with a utility knife.
To build the wall rack, I started by making two ladder-like assemblies with dowels spaced 2" apart. The ladders are then attached to the edge of the back using a tongue and groove joint. The file folders are readily available for less than 20 cents a piece. It’s a cheap solution to store all of your magazines.
