I havent room for 20 ft. -10ft. only on overhead rack on the wall. The off fall and short stuff is leaning along one wall and growing . I have an old tub outside that I was keeping junk scrap in but its getting hard to find the tub. Its the start to the old Traditional Junk Pile

Half the time I'm at the scrap yard in the VW Bug, so I bend the 10 and 20' stock (1/4 inch square and round, maybe up to 3/8ths) so it'll fit in the back, if I'm shopping for thicker half inch stuff and its long, I bring the handled cold cut and a sledge and snap it off at about 4 feet, it leans in the corner behind the forge, the bent stuff gets hung by nails from the patio cover framing near the forge. Mostly I work with 1/2 inch and under.
