See! Even older threads have good ideas! Thanks for the tips! Especially, hanging them with clips to make it easy to access!
Storing rulers, templates, and stencils is an ongoing pursuit. But so is storing fabric and thread and notions and ...well, you get the point. Advice and new ideas are welcomed.
I store my (4 or 5) ruler collection in a basket with my rotary cutters. The 24" ruler just sits on the cutting table, unless it is in the way. I recently relocated my stencils by hanging each one on its own magnetic hook, which are attached to the refrigerator (#2) and deep freezer. If they have to be in my workroom, at least they can help me out!

I store my rulers on a triangular, dormer wall. I just use screws to hold them. Screws don't allow the rulers to slip and are sturdier than nails. This setup works great for me. My wall is next to a window, but it is north facing and I have never had any trouble with warping. I think that it is good use of an otherwise empty space.
