I did visit my friend s work shop 3 days ago.. I saw his solutions.. I want to share and show you.. perhaps it can give you an idea..
This is medicine chest.. it is medicine chest and pill box.. it is plastic (polyethylene ).. how much does it cost? I don't remember but it is very cheap..
Rather than buy the blister packs of hardware at the home center containing 12 to 20 pieces of screws, nuts and bolts for a couple of dollars. I go to my local M&P Ace hardware buy my needs by the box.
The box usually contains 100 of whatever, has pictures and words describing the contents. But then I get neighbors asking, "Do you have.....?" Then during the winter solstice holiday season I get something suitable for flavoring ice cubes.
Pretty slick. I use those for my AM and PM pills also.
For fastener and small object storage I use some similar, but a migrant from storage for my fly fishing flies for Alaska. I also have taken to buying in quantity, boxes of 100 usually, mostly when I am ordering online (which I do a lot, given my location). When I go into a store, I'm usually on a mission and while I have no proof, I do have the sense that I'm paying more for a box in a store than I do online. I almost always order these sorts of things from McMaster-Carr.
I've had a box of "floor sweepings" from some sort of assembly shop from sometime in the 1950s or 60s. I brought it with me when I moved from Calif. to Ore. in 1975 and when I moved to NE Ore. in 2016. I've always thought it would be good to sort them, but never had a good way to store them. Then recently, I started using the divider boxes for the stuff I've been accumulating. I have had a need for occupying my time in a brainless manner, so the last few nights, as I'm waiting to get sleepy, I've been sorting those floor sweepings. Small screws, washers, nuts (from size 1 - 10) and quite a few little "oddities". These are they.
These are the others in which the recent acquisitions reside.
A couple months ago I posted about "Finessing Dado Slots to 6mm) as part of an effort to make some storage racks for these storage boxes. I have not progressed in completing those racks. My granddaughter started storing her mini-Legos in these divider boxes and I made some shelves for the "workbench" where she plays with the Legos. That meant I had to order more boxes. And other stuff has just gotten in the way.
This paste for veneer and solid wood.. I can full the nail holes...the color and sanding are very important...because it is produce from the pallet wood... the people must not understand it is made than pallet wood.
I will three times paint it with dark oak color and I will apply glossy yacht varnish tomorrow... The school service wait for me now.. I don't want to late.. see you tomorrow. ..
