    Hi, everyone !

    I've recently purchased my Westminster Big Shot Pro and, of course, numerous dies to go with it.

    Right now, the plastic containers are in the recycling bin, and the dies are ... well, not put away !!!

    Any suggestions as to what to use to 'store' these dies? The Butterfly, the Duck, the Alphabets ....

    Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your suggestions.

    Hi, yep I have lots of dies. My husband and I built a custom work table/die storage unit. It's 12 feet by 4 feet. It has custom drawers and cubbies sized for the different size dies. This is probably over kill for normal people, however. Before the table was built, I used plastic milk crates for the larger dies and cd storage units for the smaller ones. I got several cd storage units at resale shops for cheap. You can also try a STURDY book case. Dies are very heavy, we had to order industrial drawer slides to handle the load.
