Does anyone have a great system to manage the storage and ready availability of grinding belts? Mine are scattered all over! Pictures would be helpful.

I had the same issue, and finally figured out a way. I used a left over pot rack that I had built, added bigger hooks to it, and built/mounted a 360 degree swivel to the ceiling of my finish shop. It's located directly behind where I stand when grinding. It takes up very little space, and I simply spin it to the grit I want.

Now that's a great idea! Oh by the way Ed, I got my pyrometer, that you helped me get set up, and it works really well. Thanks for your help!
