I'm curious how you all store your table saw sleds.

I've always hung my cross-cut sled on the wall with a singel nail through a hole in the sled base, but lately I've been wondering if that could cause warpage over the long run. I can't say that I've ever really had much trouble with it, but now that I made a new, larger sled, I want to make sure I keep it in good working order. It's been sitting on the floor for the past couple weeks and I'm getting tired of moving it around!

So what's your storage method?

Mike. I use the nails on the wall method myself. So far so good. :)

Standing up on the floor, leaning against my TS, leaning against my bench, against the cabinet, against the jointer. Heck, wherever it ain't in the way.

Mine is on the wall, right behind the outfeed table, so I can just flip it up on the table and go.l

Eye bolts on the short end and hung from hooks outside the shop. There's just not enough room.

Usually somewhere in the way.

My shop has exposed rafters which are actually floor joists for the second floor of the shop. I drill two 1" holes near each corner of the back of the sleds. Hang them on nails overhead. They are high enough that they are way clear of my head but stick down low enough that I can just reach up and unhook them off the nails.

The 1" holes are big enough that I don't have any problems hitting them when hanging them up.

But then I get lazy and just stand the big one on the floor when it is not needed. Then I start walking around it, moving from one side of the saw to the other, bumping it and knocking it over and so on.
