Plastic

Always

I have storage spaces in two cities/countries

Plastic prevents mildew/fungus/moisture

Closes better and throw some of those thingies for clothes and moisture and you're good to go

Could really do with Meccano still being around so I could create storage units.
Was thinking this especially with external hard drives which overheat when stacked. So would benefit from a cage system where they were separated.
But could see similar frameworks being useful for other item storage.
Bunging something together in wood might get one part of the way there too.

Not sure why but it’s hard for me to go backwards in their catalogue from that point. The production is just so lousy and thin and a lot of the melodies and tropes are undistinguished.
