    First I stored all my wire it in plastic zipper bags in a drawer in
    my bench. However, I was not disciplined enough to keep the bags in
    order of sizes. Then I tried the cardboard file folders, but that did
    not really work for me. 

    Finally I saw the light: I bought a number of Ikea's 'Knuff' magazine
    files (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/96676109), inserted
    two dividers in each and added a little piece of wood to the top,
    laid them down on the side with the hole in it, and voila - I had a
    smart storage for three dimensions of wire. I made three of them for
    the dimensions of wire I use most and placed them within easy reach
    on a shelf above my bench. Mail me if you want a picture.
