Great storage improvisations using PVC pipe.

- Dave Mowitz

My growing arsenal of different kinds and sizes of tape had outgrown the boxes I stored them in. Plus it was a struggle to dig through the boxes looking for the roll I needed. So I created this tape rack from 3/4-inch OSB board (you could use plywood or particleboard) and different diameters of leftover PVC pipe. I used 2½-inch-diameter pipe for tape rolls with larger openings and 1-inch-diameter pipe to accommodate rolls with smaller openings.
