The nuts & bolts of things - 12/22/20 01:23 PM
If you're like me you probably have 1 or more little metal or plastic cabinets with little plastic drawers to store all kinds of hardware and small parts. Problem is like yesterday i needed (2) 5/16 x 1 bolts to hang something and of all the drawers full of stuff had to settle for something that would work as I was not driving into town pandemic or not to buy them. I recently acquired a welding table which is forcing me into rearranging my shop and these bins need moved or eliminated. I bet I could find something I've had for 35 years in one of them. Being raised by depression era grandparents and being basically poor when I left home forced me to save all kinds of stuff for a time. I don't have an issue throwing stuff out or giving it away even though I've got bitten years later because I could have used it but, oh well.
What's everyone else done to maybe keep some fasteners around verses buying stuff as you need it?
