So the most frustrating part of my shop is the ineffective means by which I store my sandpaper. I've got to take a different approach but would love to gather some ideas/pics from the collective wisdom of the forum. Any ideas out there worth sharing?

One of those accordion-style file folders... the grits are labelled on the right from low to high:

I have a 2 drawer file cabinet that fits underneath one of my benches. 1 drawer for sandpaper with a separator for each grit; pieces smaller than a full sheet are in a labeled manila folder. The other drawer holds clean rags.

I'm not building nearly as many instruments as some of these guys, so I don't handle nearly as much sand paper.
For my needs, I've found that a 3" binder works really well. I punch all my sheets with a three hole punch, and the binder works coarse to fine, front to back.
This doesn't solve the problems of what to do with small sanding-block-size pieces. But it's a great way of handling the full sheets.
