How Do You Store Your Ramrods?

[turbowoodworker]

I searched but couldn't find anything on this topic.

I am sure that you will have some suggestions for organized methods for the storage of your ramrods. I have a number of full length cleaning rods and range rods for my muzzle loaders. Some of these are 60 inches long with the handle.

I am tired of them standing in the corner, falling over, and just looking less organized than the rest of the shop.

So what are your solutions to uncluttering your ramrods?

Make a "rack" using 1/2” PVC pipe secured to the wall or a piece of wood. Use your imagination on where to put it...... EG: wall, ceiling, corner, under a bench, etc.

BTW! I don’t have any ram rods but this is what I would do if I had some.

I have a shelf in my gun room that uses brackets with a diagonal support. My cleaning rods are all tucked in through that

Maybe a 2' piece of pvc, screwed to the wall vertically a foot off the ground. That would hold them vertical and stop them from falling over

I have a metal rack from Inline Fab for primer tubes. I imagine one could also be made from wood, with a router. Think of a bunch of fingers sticking out that support the handles.

Or there's plastic ones for cheap from Tipton. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008NAAYW8

I made an alumium rack and screwed it to a support post in the basement.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. Sherk and Nutjob, appreciate the link and pics. The Amazon/Tipton coincidentally is holding three of the rods that I have now (brand). I think I'll steal Nutjob's template. Nice work.
Thank you.

Probably the same way as pool cues are stored.
