Hi Lorraine,

    What a good thread! I store my wire in a file folder box. The kind
    with many slots and divisions, a toggle closure and a handle. Got it
    at an office supply store in the states. A friend stores hers in a
    regular notebook. Each type and gauge of wire goes inside a plastic
    page protector, labeled with the date bought, price per inch (easier
    for her pricing method), gauge and type (.925 silver, 14k gold, 22k
    gold etc.) Mine has outgrown my box and I was thinking of switching
    to her method, so I'm really interested to see what others do. 

    On a side note, thanks to all for the idea of alum to etch out a
    drill bit. Happened yesterday and as I work out of my 500 sq. ft.
    apartment, I don't have access to chemicals. Put the concentrated
    alum in a small pan, boiled it up and 20 minutes later - no drill!
    Huzzah! Orchid rocks. 

Lora
