For my rod tubes, I made double removable end-caps to take the stubbies out. No stubbie is safe!

That will work. Jody has a dual cap setup for different length rods from what I remember in one of his videos. You improved on it. I use all my stubbies asap when I can for little insignificant welds or tacks before I grab a new rod.

I could make a joke right here about you using your stubbie...but I won't

That's my other stubby. And I also use it asap when the occasion arises.

Was that an intentional choice of words?

Machinist! Gotta be. Welders just aren't that organized

Looks great. You must be a machinist.

I need to build something to hold all the different rods that I have ordered that will be laying around for now.

Make many more tubes than you think you will need. I need to add some to the outside of my carts already.

Typical non machinist setup

Your's is in tubes? Mine is in the recycled tubes that Radnor puts their junk in. My new LWS sells rod by the pound and puts it in bags...sometimes I take it out...sometimes I don't take it out. I just opened a 30 year old box of 4043 rods I got from a retired welder and they work better than the 4043 I just bought new a month ago. Must be the China syndrome.

Here's how I made my rod holder. I used old rectangular tube I saved for such a job. I Blasted the paint off with my HF Blasting cabinet, it did a great job even though the media I was using was medium/fine glass bead.

NIce!

+1 Very nice job on those.

Thanks guys. I have to keep projects simple because of my limited mobility.
