I have been thinking about storing rulers this way by mounting nails in a board that are angled higher than parallel to the floor with some sort of clear acrylic (magazine type vertical usually) mounted holder below. Perhaps with acrylic midway bands halfway between the hooks & bottom acrylic for shorter rulers, or maybe just acrylic band across under hooks at several intervals. Has anyone used this unusual space this way and can I see pic(s) please if you have. I am a c
Cape Cod style house dweller but so many of you are attic dwellers too!

ok to do if there aren't any heat vents nearby or sunny windows, that can cause warping.

The only way you will know, is to give 'er a try!

But to me, what would have to be done to keep the rulers in place, would not be worth the annoyance!

My rulers stand up in a bin at the wall end of the cutting table . Actually two bins, so that the smaller ones (6-1/2" and smaller) do not disappear behind the height of the deeper bin. I can easily see which is which. The two large squares (16-1/2" and 20-1/2") slide in next to the cutting table on the floor.

I also live in a Cape Cod style house and went up to the dormers to have a look. I don't really see a benefit. I think the rulers would be difficult to get in and out of a magazine holder type fixture on a slant. Mine are on hooks on a piece of pegboard. Works for me.

I have a wall of rulers, templates and such. works very well for me.

If you have the room, a revolving floor stand will hold drawers full of stuff. Everything is visible. The only con is the item I want is always behind a dozen others. I have this one. It holds everything that has a hole in it for hanging. All my patterns are on it and my rulers. Mine looks similar to this one . Not that pretty but functional.

I have a couple of peg boards and hang rulers on them. The ones I use the most often stand up in the bottom space of my cutting table. My only complaint about hanging rulers using their little hole is that the one I want might be at the back.

I have several nails so only templates that are used together to make a block would go on the same nail. of course I've given away many of my templates lately. but I have enough left!

I have my squaring up rulers in a magazine stand. It works great in the I can just leaf through them to find the size I'm looking for.

I have a plate holder mounted above my cutting table for the longer rulers and keep the shorter ones in front directly on a bracket.
