| dont know if anyone else does this but heres how i keep my stuff. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]i've always collected wooden cigar boxes so it seemed like a perfect fit whenever i started amassing more darts. The red comacho box is for sets and wallets that aren't in the standard rotation. The CAO boxes are for the boys, and the others are for flights and stems that are already setup. I have one small cube shaped box that isn't pictured that i keep loose stems rings and such in. i like all my flights opened and fitted with shafts-2 reasons for this first, its faster to change my setup, and they keep the x shape better. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]i keep only ruthless in this box-reminds me im getting low [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]i normally keep 3 sets out for play at all times and i use these handy little unicorn fobs [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]24g red dragon bears-currently taking a back seat to the new mccoys but still a crowd favorite around here and get heavy use [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| They look well organised - a lot more organised than me lol. The only bit's I know definitely where they are are all my Cosmo stems and flights that I use in matches/practise (ie the kites and rocket insides), and also my match darts themselves. Everything else is all over the place as I've got far too many spares hahaha |

| Also, when I used normal nylon stems and flights I kept several sets already made up for the same reason |

| well I wish I had mine as well organised as you guys, mine are all in drawers.
Those cigar boxes look good, have you smoked the cigars that were in them or are they just boxes that are bought separately to store cigars, I dont smoke so have no idea? |

| i need to get myself a nice box or something similar for my darts. they're starting to clutter up the place. i have a smaller version of ivefound's clear plastic case that i use for holding new flights, stems, and my target punch. i've also got a cookie tin full of random odds n ends, like flights and stuff i'll never use. |

| Some of my spares, ran out of room. Have a lot more sets of darts. Cases are little fishing tackle boxes that i never used. About 2 dollars a piece. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| Got some good looking storage setups.
Rum, I like the cigar box idea. You definitely keep them well organized too.
I don't have enough supplies to justify having anything other than my case. I can keep four sets of assembled darts, more than enough flights, and extra stems and parts all in one carrying case. I'll see if I can get a pic up sometime time or another. |

| Just a little Case of dartitis that is!!! Alas, I've been hooked on buying/swapping/selling/trading/stealthily obtaining, etc, etc for as long as dart shops have been on the net and see no signs of slowing down! If there is a cure to be found, I'm not sure I would take it. |

| I use clear fishing tackle boxes to to keep my flights and shafts in. I'm pretty organized - one slot for short stems, one for tweenies, one for mediums. Same with flights, all separated due to shape. Then I have a box for repointing -different points and tools. If any of you in the U.S. need new points in your darts send them to me, I would be glad to do it! |

| This is the contents of me Darts drawer: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And here's the contents of the popular plastic storage box, personally have not found anything better for storing spare flights, stems, clips, rings, point protectors, sharpeners etc: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Stems and flights I currently use are stored at the bottom with outgoing stuff making its way up to the top, normally stuff I throw in when I sell darts on eBay.

Neatly organised Greg! my stuff just gets piled on top of each other |

| Works of art aren't they?? I also have another one with my site logo on. I think someone referred to his work once as 'wooden jewels' - I couldn't agree more....
