    I use an old file cabinet... with hanging files for both sheet and
    wire.  The wire still goes in large ziplock freezer bags (10" x
    10"?) and these are then "filed" in descending order for base metal
    wire, and ascending order in the silver drawer. Platinum and gold
    sheet/wire are kept in a plastic hanging file box in the safe, and
    short pieces are kept in a file card box (recipe box) with an
    "accordion" folded out of construction paper. Again in ziplocks, and
    all ziplocks are marked with date purchased/ price per
    oz,/gauge/length/weight/material, and last date used. Patterned
    sheet or wire goes behind plain gauges, again in order.
