Storing Magazines

[oldzzy]

I have to get my magazines in order! How do you guys store your magazines? I need some ideas!

[70rs]

In a big giant stack in the store room.

I have seen a few different types of sleves and or binders made for just such use. Maybe someone will chime in with where to find them? Sometimes the magazines offer them on thier web sites too.

I don't keep the entire magazine. I cut out the articles/features/photo's I want to keep and recycle the un-used remains. I put the article in a clearview sheet protector - and file it. I have 3 inch binders that break the topics down, and I file them away in order. I have a couple binders of just 'ideas' that I cruse through at times for inspiration

Example:

A binder for Body. In that binder are tabbed sections for General Processes, Cost estimating, Tooling, Stripping, Panel alignment, filler, Primer, blocking, paint, stripes/flames, polish, detailing.

Then if I have a question on do I put fillers under primer but on bare metal first and with what grit paper for best grip - I have quick access to it without sifting through billions of magazines.

Yup, it's weird....

It's when they are emptied and reloaded that they wear. I keep mine full. The bad guy will have his full, why give him the advantage ? [/highjack]



re: reading material- I keep some in plastic magazine holders from the office supply store, some in stacks, some in cardboard boxes and some just go in the recycle bin.

I used to keep alot of mine....figured I would go back and reference some articles....very, very rarely, if ever did that happen. I recently did some remodeling of my office..quick page through of all of them and pitched 95% of them.

When I want to get info about some aspect of car building etc etc, I just look on the web. The magazine never got used and just took up space.

Thats a pretty good Idea mine just go on a shelf then into stacks. My wife hates it but oh well. Jim i might have to copy your idea.

I found the recycle bin is a perfect storage "receptacle"....

I have a buddy that has issues back into the very early 50's - boxed and dated - we had a good laugh about it the other day - since he's never ONCE looked at any of them since they were read the first time around. BUT he can't bare (? bear) to toss them now.
