They were nine individual thread racks from Jo-Anns.  They came in wood
color.  Got em on sale online.  We spray painted them semi gloss white, then
counter sunk some screw holes (4) in each and attached them to the wall.
Then hung them so they just looked like one big wall of thread.  They work
great for small spools - If you were doing large spools, I would want
something with a little more space between the rows. (maybe something like
this - http://www.threadandmore.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1428) Big
spools only work ok on the bottom row.

This worked for us and was economical.   I think they ran about 10 bucks a
rack and I think we hung nine in total.  Looks like they have gone up a
little in price though...

I like how you store your thread. What exactly are you using on the wall?

Hey all:

We havn't done much of this yet, but I thought I would send along pics of
our shop setup.  Would be nice to see some of your shops as well to check
out how you set them up - and get ideas (whether they be in your house or
store front).
 
See http://flickr.com/photos/levelbest/sets/72057594071145755/
 
Also of note, our dedicated space would always get very hot when we were
running the machines and such.  Didn't really think much about it but we had
10 overhead floodlights in the room... that's 10x65 watts of power for 650
watts of heat being thrown off by the bulbs.  Was in home depot yesterday
and they now how flourescent flood lights which run at all of 14.5 watts and
are cool to the touch the second you turn them off.  So I replaced 8 of the
10 (they had four packs for only $13) and left two normal floods for color
balancing purposes).  The room is now noticably cooler!  Running at 246
Watts instead - and we are getting the same amount of light (maybe even a
little more).  Two things of note... the flourescent floods take about 1-2
mins to get to their full brightness when turned on - and they are not
dimmable.
 
Anyway, thought I would share in case any of you had this issue.
