I have the Ikea wall mounted magazine holder for my bigger rulers and the small ones I use command hooks for the square ones on the side of my cabinet, for all the odd shaped ones, I have a scarf hanger, it’s a metal hoop with a hanger, and I just slide ruler I want round to the opening to get it.

For 30 years my shop has been a mess. I just got done redesigning my work area. I sew on a large oversized wooden office desk. To my right is a large folding table. Below is a tote and 1 plastic drawer unit. Above the folding table hubby mounted a full sheet of peg board. Everything I could think of is on the peg board. When cleaning I found so many duplicate items. I LOVE this set up and hopefully I wont damage any more of my rulers. Over the years while working I have knocked them off my cutting table and cracked them. Also......brought down 2 pieces of furniture to help me store items. One was a entertainment Center for quilt fabric and my machines. The other is a used dresser that sits at the end of the folding table. So I wouldn't have to look at the unpainted back I took scrap fabric and made a quilted storage panel so that I can place my manual and other reference books in along with being able to pin blocks I'm working on in between jobs.

In theory on my peg board but in reality they are all over the place :D

I use the same office sorter that RhondaK uses. Mine came from Goodwill for $1.49.

Before I put up nails to hang them on one side of a cabinet, I use to put them in an old napkin holder. Of course, that took up counter space, so it wasn't ideal.

I have a slotted wooden holder, probably similar to mic-pa's. It's 12"x4"x1" and has 5 backward slanted slots. Since your husband made your cabinet, perhaps he could custom make you a similar holder to suit your rulers.

I love mine because you can remove/replace any ruler without disturbing any others.

I have a dresser drawer dedicated to rulers, plastic templates (in a box), rotary cutters + blades, and smaller cutting mats. No, it is not the most efficient way to store them, but it will do until I get the pegboard I want!

I currently have a peg board with hooks. As you said the one I want is always the one on the bottom of the pile. I am in the process of redoing some of the storage in my sewing room. It is starting to look like a hoarder lives in there. A total mess. I just added a dresser for storage. Next step is my rulers. I bought these https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40070185/ at Ikea. Bekvam spice shelves. They come in 2 different lengths. I am going to hang them on the peg board and just have the rulers in them. I have seen it done on Pinterest.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]597986[/ATTACH]I have two of those slotted boards and of course I can't pass up a ruler. So they are full. I need to weed out some not in use.

Somebody posted somewhere an idea to use a closet bar and pant hangers to hang the rulers. Or maybe wire hangers and chip clips.
