Good idea. I hope you don't mind my copying it a bit. Right now my filler rod bundles are just flopping around between the bottles.
Side note. A guy with a Sincrowave pop riveting aluminum together and posting it on a Welding board?

YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring this up! I even told my wife that I would take heat for this............:-)
Four reasons......#1 I don't know how to TIG yet....#2, the aluminum retainers actually are tightly holding the tubes. They would melt if I put heat to the aluminum. And #3, if I ever need to replace a tube, I can drill out the Pop Rivet and remove the broken tube......and #4, I just love to pop rivet stuff...:-)RoyB

A couple more additions to the TIG cart...........
Added a handle. Electrical EMT...........
Found the perfect little tool box at the hardware store. It is a locking "Cash Box" from Master Lock. And it was the PERFECT color!
A few pieces of double stick tape and we're done!
