[Shop-talk] Organizing nails and screws

[Pat Horne]

It depends on what quantity of each size fastener you have. My farther 
covered a wall (about 8'x8') with shelves spaced far enough apart to 
allow baby food jars to be placed on their sides on the shelves. One 
fastener was glued to the lid of each jar, then put on the shelf. It 
works well for small fasteners in small quantities. I use a punch card 
storage cabinet. It's like a file cabinet, but the drawers are only 
about 5" tall. One cabinet can hold lots of hardware!

Peace,
Pat
