    Fantastic idea! I definitely want to try to make one of these, unless you loan out your husband?

    I have a slotted wooden template holder. For longer rulers and my larger items, I use over the door hooks -- each hook can hold several items and the door is propped open.

    Have to show this to my husband and then find a place for it. It really does look like it will keep all those long rulers in place. Nice!

    I just found a wrapping station at The container store, it has the side holder that is adjustable I use mine for stabilizer but I think it would work for rulers too! It also have 5 pull out baskets, all that for $132.00

    My DH, who's not normally good at wood-working, made me a beautiful rack by taking a short board from the cellar, buying a 1x4 (I think), cutting it, and screwing/gluing it to the base board to make "dividers"'that hold a few rulers each. It's lovely and was fairly cheap and easy to make with really basic tools. The one I kept seeing online was a mere 4" deep and had slots made with a router. Without a router, he went to building up a few "curbs," and it looks good and works beautifully.

    hugs,
    Charlotte
