I have been going around in my head trying to figure out what the best way is to hang wood on the wall.  I could cut some sort of L shaped braces (or E shaped) from plywood.  I could build a box out of 1x2's that the wood could slot into.  I could do some sort of French cleat type setup.  

Finally I hit on the idea of screwing a series of 2x3's to every other stud on the wall and drilling a series of 3/4" holes at a slight upward angle and using dowels to hold the wood.  This is not amazingly strong, but I think it could hold 80 pounds or so without issues.

I can drill holes every 6" or so in the wood, making room for some adjustability.  And I can cut the dowels to various lengths as needed.  I think this will be very modular and should be quite flexible as my wood pile changes shape over time.

This only solves the problem with the longer pieces of wood.  I think I will probably make a simple frame on the ground with a few dowels sticking straight up to store the larger sheets. 

Anyway now that I have a plan I can finally get rid of this pile of wood. However the rear brake cylinder on my car just started leaking fluid all over the road so the shop will need to take a back burner to that.  Not only do I need to fix it, but I can't really drive anywhere till I do.  Fortunately I work from home, and it is a simple car that should not take long to fix.

Anyway this inspired me to do a little cleanup of the garage.  I managed to get most everything put back where it was originally and other than this large pile of wood and a small pile of miscelanious junk I could actually get the car back into the garage.
