Storage For Scrap Glass

by Keith Robinson
(Cottingham, UK)

I bought this stack of six storage drawers from a local office supplies shop (Staples) for a few pounds. They are supposed to be for office use but I find them very usefull for glass scraps, sorted by colour. As they are constucted from tough nylon type material they can take a lot of weight, and be removed for benchtop investigation without cracking (like the drawers in a fridge tend to do) They come with castors and can either be stacked with others or broken down into 2s or 3s etc. Inexpensive and functional - what more could you want?

When originally cutting glass I keep a clean mayo jar or empty spagetti sauce jar on the cutting table. When I have small scraps, they go directly into the jar thus sorting the glass by color in wait for a mosiac project. The jars of different colored glass accumulate for a nice colorful display on shelf.

I use the same and get mine at Big Lots or the dollar store as they are much cheaper than Staples or Wal-Mart.

Glass Storage - Save Money NEW

I use the same system for storing glass scraps. I get them from WalMart or similar stores when they are having a sale. Always need extra seperations when colors vary too much in one bin.

My storage is this:
Ice cream boxes for any that will fit. There are some pretty good ice cream boxes. Anything larger goes into the regular storage bins

Great Storage Idea NEW

Hi Keith,

Those do make good storage units for scrap glass. I'll have to see if Staples carries something similar here in the USA. I could use a complete studio clean-up and they would be ideal to get organized.

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry

I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie

Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet

I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna
