Thread: How to store thin sheet without it warping?

I've kept my thin stuff sandwiched between two sheets of thicker stuff. Keeps the faces of it protected, too.

Right, I find that won't stop the thinner sheets sliding out at their base and pushing the thicker sheets away or have you worked out a way to jam the sandwich together?

Thanks

If you have the sheets upstanding on a timber base, how about something like bench dogs to hold the sheets together.

That's a good solution -thanks! I am going to make a frame today and I think I will build it on a 5 degree tilt so that the tops of the sheets are encouraged to lean against each other but not so much that they can't easily be separated.

With the bench dogs I will try to add an eccentric cam type lobe to them with rubber outer so that I can get a snug fit with minimal holes drilled.

Thanks for all the help guys

My solution was a couple of $2 clamps from the local cheap crap from china store.

Thanks MasterSplinter but I decided that for my purposes as I have sheets from 1200x2400 to 30x30 that the "sandwich" will have to be opened every time I want to eyeball the stock on hand. In a frame it should all be more visible but thanks for the help.
