I find 3 rpm the perfect speed for agitating the wife...... third time around it becomes an agility contest. 🙄 😛
Nice collection of project fodder.

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. 😛
Brilliant! I just added it to the list and recounted. There are now 42 items on the list.

Good project. I realllly need to add properly labelled storage for those things myself.
Mine all got tossed years ago. If I never buy a flat head screw again, it will be too soon.

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.

And that need provides as excuse to buy a labeller, that leads to an engraver, that then expands to a CNC engraver, then 5 of them... At least, that's been my experience.

The desire that I have for an engraver to do classy branding on my pens...
Just remembered a number of years ago I started doing this same organization process. Even hung a set of drawers in a not in the way spot.
So now I know where to put all these bits and pieces. Time to haul out the label gun.

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...

Years ago at some company closing out sale I picked up these two bins for a couple of dollars. Haven't used them up yet.
