I use the largest size disposable plastic containers ... Glad, Ziploc, etc.

I have 9 of these each holds 40 spools on individual pins

Barry , you are pretty tidy for a "junk man" !

Berry... Thanks for the heads up on that... I could use a few more of them. <<<<DON>>>>

Barry,
Not a bad idea.
I use the same 3600 Plano boxes that I use for my fishing supplies. Thread fits perfectly into these boxes.
Also, guides fit into the boxes perfectly as well. Easy to see through and I generally pay $2.50 to $3.00 each for them.

Have to love plastic boxes for all of the wonderful things that you can do with them, whomever the vendor, or the configuration.

Roger,

Care to share where you get the 3600's that cheap?

Tom

Thomas,
It has been a while since I have bought any boxes, because a few years ago I bought a large quantity at a severely reduced price.
But at the local Fleet Farm down the street here is a set of 4 of the boxes for $12 .50 or $3.13 each:

You can also try shopping some of the big box stores for similar prices.

Good Luck
Roger
