Storage boxes
Storage boxes
Like many of us, I buy a lot of items and then I have to put them away. The price of storage can be high!
I present you my method of low-cost storage in the hope that it may be useful.
Here are the prerequisites:
- Not showcase (waf problem)
- Low cost
- Be able to see objects easily
- Protect the objects from light.
I had initially thought of using bags with foam blocks but the price rises quickly.
So I bought wooden blocks composed of three drawers:
Size is about 30x30x30 cm. The cost in hypermarket of Do-it-yourself is $ 10.
Then, I bought aerobics mat at a price of $ 2 per unit (Perhaps I should keep one to do more sport ):
In each drawer, I put two foam layers. I cut the foam around each object. If the subject is profound, I cut the two foam layers. In general, I try to cut the upper foam to put the item and I cut the bottom foam to hide the gimmick. I need three mats for a block of three drawers.
Here's an example with Tenyo 2017:
- I put the items in the drawer without foam.
- I cut two pieces of foam with a wonderfull template
- I cut objects locations. Here is what happens with the 4 Tenyo 2017 items:
and when the objects are removed,we can see the second foam and objects below:
Next step, Like lego, I put the blocks on each other.This is a photo with 6 blocks:

and with some open drawers:
In a block, I put about 15 items (5 per drawer). The cost per item is around $ 1. It seems to be reasonable for me

Merci SimonC!
I already bought 3 new boxes! two drawers are already full
If I don't want to have a wall of boxes , I MUST stop collecting Tenyo !

Re: Storage boxes
I don't think saying "stop collecting Tenyo" is permitted here. You may want to check with the moderators.
It's a Tenyo day in the neighborhood!

oops, sorry moderators! I don't want to be banned

Re: Storage boxes
I have one drawer box with 3 drawers, where all my 100 Tenyos are stored, each in a plastic transparant bag
Furthermore I have stored other magic tricks in cabinets and Magic Wagons and other wooden tricks in a show case.
Lots of small stuff stored in transparent boxes. Lot of these under the bed etc.
So you are very organized now Hervé! My compliments!

Re: Storage boxes
Nice work, Herve! I really need to do something like this, and... SOON! My wife rolls her eyes at me every time she enters my home office, as the boxes continue to pile up.
Re: Storage boxes
I didn't know that Tenyo collectors were allowed to be neat, or organized.
I keep all my Tenyo's in a gigantic bag.
Once in a while, I get on a stepladder, reach into the bag a pull one out.
I learned this organizational method from Santa Claus!
