Pretty much a jumbled mess right now. I have another conduit row on the opposite side of the garage, plus lots of wheels scattered throughout the workshop.

I need to get some of them up in the rafters.

Is that a modified boat under the black vinyl, Posing as a workbench?

1/2" pipe flange-piece of pipe-threaded cap.

Yes it's a pain to get to the set behind, but cheap, strong, and out of the way.

So tell me again, why did I just toss about 140' of 1/2" and 3/4" iron water pipe?

Wherever they fit. Right now, they're under the bed.

PROBLEM SOLVED

The former homeowner left a 16' section of wooden ladder. I hung it up in the garage with 4 ladder hooks. Used 1/4" HD zip ties to hang the wheelsets on the rungs and individual wheels on the frame. 24 wheels in 8' of space is pretty compact.
