Looks like a lot of us want directions for your storage container but since you can't post without permission because of the copyright, couldn't you just kinda tell us how you did it with some type of guidance on measurements. Also what is cat screen? The directions don't have to be "exactly" what was in the article, huh?

Here is what I use to store mine. It's made out of pet screen.

If anyone is interested, I can post the directions.

that is such a neat ideal, I store mine between bed and wall. thank you for sharing that. Penny

i saw someone suggested once to put it between the mattress and boxspring or i put mine under my one couch because it sits very low to the ground

Obviously you have a computer, most likely on some type of desk or table- 'store' your cutting boards on top of the surface, they make great desk mats! You can put important notes, reminders, pictures under them, they are very 'mouse-friendly' - and will lay flat. And unless your kitty is like my perfect Cassie Kitty- no problems with them getting to the mats.

I also hang mine and most rullers on a ail and can hang 2 or 3 on the same nail...

Jolo - I love the idea with the magnets. I have purchased magnets from this companyhttp://www.magnet4less.com/product_i...roducts_id=566 recently and they are strong. I selected one here that has hooks, but also has a holding power of 130 lbs.
Jolo - Do yours hook or does the magnet go thru the cutting board material?

I have a box-type storage unit built into my cutting table and I stack them in there.

I just remembered seeing some slotted holders at one of the quilt shows - kind of like the ones that are in a Scrabble game only larger.

Because of the copyright, you can't post the directions. However, in what magazine and issue did you find them?? This is a wonderful solution! (I tried something similar using the heavy plastic used for tablecloths; talk about impossible! My machine, even with a walking foot, couldn't handle it.)

EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW, what is pet screen and where did you find it??!! Even without the directions, if we have the right materials, we can probably figure out how to do it from your picture.

Do tell!!! thanks.
