Thin Strip Storage

I seem to collect thin strips of wood; mostly offcuts from when I need to cut down a board to size. Sometimes, what needs to be cut off is only 1/4" or even 1/8". Yet I find those thin strips useful for a variety of projects. The problem has been storing them. Before, they were all jumbled together in one bucket, which made it hard to find the pieces I needed, in the species I wanted. So, I finally made a bit better storage, using some short pieces of PVC pipe. This doesn't take care of everything, as you can tell from the bucket there to the right; but it at least sorts out the types of wood strips I use the most. This is attached to the side of my planer stand, keeping it out of the way.
