Today I had an idea that in retrospect seems obvious. Once I had the idea it only took about 15 minutes, some scraps, and 7 screws, and now I have a convenient, organized way to store the go bars by the go bar deck. Before I used to keep them on top of it, bundled by size, but sometimes the bundles would come undone and get mixed. The new organizer is out of the way in the ceiling joists, and has a back so that when the bars are pushed in alll the way I can easily identify the length of the ones I need. I have four lengths, one for gluing braces and three for closing different guitar soundbox depths. I've made four guitar-bodied octave mandolins in the last month, and have been using the go bars a lot, which I guess is what finally brought the storage question to the front of the remains of my mind.
