    Gee Ray I hate it when you come up with good idea's you would only need to put numbers on the bushes and keep a log eg Sierra 1 Slimline 2 etc or if you use a container of some sort then they MUST have lids and not be draw type storage or yes knowing my luck they would go everywhere

    Just thought of another idea these pen tubes would also do the job if you could be sure the plugs stayed in Acrylic Pen Tubes - Boxes/Sleaves - PenKits, pen kit suppliers


    Cheers Ian

    Ok LOML came up with a beaut

    Beaders (those strange ladies who make bracelets etc) they use a stackable container system the containers have screwtop lids which screw to the base of the next container forming a cylinder.

    Thanks Ray, saved me finding a picture

    they're what I've been using for some time, Sue got them from Lincraft for me
    I label each canister

    I wouldn't keep them in a tackle style box as when you drop the opened box you've got to then sort out each individual set and some are similar in size DAMHIKT

    If you do a search on Ebay for "bead container" you will get more different containers suitable for storing pen bushes than you can poke a stick at, most are dirt cheap.

    Interesting use of things here especially the urine samples ... I'm afraid if I brought home that many urine jars I may get a cross look from the mrs ...

    Mostly I keep mine in baggies but when I get motivated I move them to my new $5 storage system which has 24 containers in the plastic box.



    I forgot I had this and I'll bet I know where to look for those Jr Gent bushes that have been missing

    I Googled for test Tubes (for Weed Pot inserts) and following one of the links took me to a e-Bay site that does all the small (and up to 1 ltr) medical containers.

    I've not added the link as It's in the UK e-bay site, but I'm sure you'll have the same in Aus.

    Got to be worth a search.
