Wondering how you're going to store all of your stuff??? Here are some
ideas. The Goose does not sell any of these containers. This page is
just for your viewing pleasure.
A clever storage box for the refills and ink cartridges.
Get this box at the Container Store  Close up of ink cartridge and
refill storage!
Fishing Tackle Boxes
make great storage containers for your lettering sets. Mount the upper and
lower case letters and numbers on both ends of the wood to avoid excessive
rocking and to save on storage space! There's a 1" layer of upholstery
foam below each section to make it easier for you to scoop each stamp out of the
box. These boxes keep your letter stamp collection organized so that
you're not searching for each letter as it slides around the box!
Paper Storage - we now store all of our 8.5x11 papers in hanging folders in a
Sterilite plastic file cabinet on wheels. We've been poopoo-ing the
plastic drawer units for years, but now, we've seen the light.
However, we would like to warn you DON'T GET CHEAP - DON'T BUY
STERILITE! First, Sterilite acknowledges that there's a design flaw that
causes the wheels to fall off after the FIRST time that you roll your drawer
unit with paper inside of it! Then, they were so nice as to offer to
send a few replacement drawers as compensation for the wheel
problem. 4 weeks later, we received DRAWERS and sides. No
promised bottoms so that we could snap the new drawers to the old units and use
them without wheels. Without the bottoms, you can't use the drawers
(they'll "glide" on the floor...). Hmmmm... The worst
part? Because the drawers "lock" so that they don't fall out onto the
floor when you slide them open, the last 1-2" of file space is useless!
It's hard to explain...but basically, the files in the back become hidden from
view. We've become so frustrated that we gave up and accept that only 2
color families fit in each drawer, instead of the 3 color families that COULD
PHYSICALLY fit in the drawer. If you attempt to put 3 color families in a
drawer, to access the last colors, you have to remove files from the front of
the drawer and slide the files forward.
$40 and 4 weeks later, we've got 2 file cabinets with non-working wheels, 2
drawers that can't be used in the unit and 4 sides, no bottoms!
ARRGGGGHHHH!!!! We're ready to toss the whole mess in the garbage and
start over! We're going to try to fix the bottom to accept the wheels.
If you have the money, we recommend considering a lateral file system.
More files will fit into a smaller area. Two two drawer units would make a
very nice island!
