JCDammeyer's 42 projects

Working on one of the 42 projects. I've had boxes, cups, horizontal surfaces and all sorts of other storage spots for various screws, nuts etc.
You know, pull something apart and save the hardware just in case.
So a couple of days ago I decided to start sorting things. The pile of crap on one shelf is now gone and been dusted.
The wood screws are organized by roberts head, flat and philips etc. Still need to separate the machine screws. Just now sure how to organize all this stuff. Where I do have labelled drawers the parts have been put away.
Thinking just #8 wood screws, regardless of head type, go in the respective length locations. Or maybe toss the flathead wood screws.
So many decisions...

Sounds like another project, an arduino raspberry jelly controlled robotic screw sorter. 😛

The crappy looking multi drawer storage bins at PA are surprisingly uncrappy.
The plastics drawers aren't near as brittle as they look and frequently go on sale.

Finished a new project at that was added to the list to take it to 42 items now on this list.

In the process of cleaning up I thought I'd put these two bins, with the yellow nestled in the blue, back on the top shelf. Standing on some wobbly stuff and reaching way past my balance point of course I dropped them as the two were too heavy when my arm was extended all the way out.

Spent a while picking them up.

Cross that off the list. Still 42 projects on the list though. Just can't figure it out...
