I found an old metal LP record holder at a garage sale---I think they used to be called a record worm---and I use it for my large rulers. Then, at another garage sale I found a desk size one for letters and I use it for the smaller rulers. I'm a member of a Marti & Me club at Threads of Time (my fave LQS) and needed something for all the templates and patterns. At our local Office Depot I found a file satchel clearanced for only $4. It works great! It holds the templates, the books, that patterns and it carries like a large purse.
