Rags storage (new and used)
by Luis Fernandez 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Hi all, Our rag storage situation could use some improvement at the Somerville Bike Kitchen in MA. Just wondering how folks are currently storing clean rags and then taking care of used rags? Is there some good, cheap, nifty way to store them so that they are easily available and take up the least amount of room and don't end up going everywhere? Really just looking for pictures or descriptions of how you folks are managing your rags... Maybe i'm over-thinking this and just a big bin works... but our space is small and we have limited floor space.. Thanks, Luis ps - I wanted to send a shout-out to the austin yellow bike project. When I was there a year or so ago, I attended one of their meetings and thought that their approach to making rags was pretty smart. At the start of the meeting, they hand out scissors and tshirts to the folks seated at the meeting and cut up rags while the meeting is going on - seemed a great way to multi-task.

Before we get started on building the shop, we'll be making some pedal powered gardening tools, and an outdoor repair station. *Do you have an outdoor repair station* for open-access community use at your shop?* If so, please send me a photo and I'll compile them into a shared folder :) *Just to be clear, I'm not looking for an off-the-shelf solution, but something creative you or someone else made.
