Thread organizer box for skinny spools -- Sulky, Gutermann, Mettler Metrosene (Capacity: 175 spools)

Step 5Assemble & fill with thread

Assemble & fill with thread
Put the supports and rods into place in the box. The sides of the box will hold the structure together, and the thread pegs will be free to rotate forward and back to give better access and visibility to the thread in the middle.

The pegs are long enough to store a bobbin underneath a spool (with the exception of the few along the very edges, which sit atop the wooden supports).

The box can be tossed around in any direction after it's closed, and the thread will not fall off the pegs.

My prototype here is only half filled (8 rows).
