I am looking for ideas for storing my drum sander and sanding sleeves.

Any ideas would be appreciated. And any photos.

Thanks in advance!

The picture shows how I store the rolls of sand paper for my Performax 16-32 horizontal drum sander.

You don't say what drum sander but the sleeves can be stored the same way just on a smaller scale. It is just a piece of plywood with dowels glued in it. You can have as many rows of dowels both horizontally and vertically as you need.

For the drums themselves just attach a horizontal shelf to the bottom of the sleeve storage. Drill holes in the shelf for the small rubber mandrels. If you have the larger drums that attach directly to the SS spindle, just glue 1/4" dowels into the shelf and drop the drums over them.

Thanks for the ideas!

Then there is the "no frills" method.
