The Steel Stock Arrives!
My steel order from Wicks has arrived!  Tubing is in the long box and sheet is in the rectangular flat box.  Both were heavy.  I inventoried everything and then carried it downstairs into the basement.  In multiple trips.
   
The most common pieces were 7/8", 3/4" and 5/8" diameter tubes of various lengths:  6 feet, 8 feet and 10 feet.
 
I quickly realized I needed to label the stock and figure out a way to access it easily.
   

It took me about five minutes to make these wood pieces.  They work great!  I have the 5/8" tubes on top, 3/4" in the middle, and 7/8" on the bottom.    Each piece is labeled with size and length.

 
   
The unusual stock is on the right, under the spar table.
