Does anyone have recommendations for storing spare parts (resistors, caps, etc)?

Thanks,

Erik

Hi:
I have this big cardboard box full of plastic zip lock bags. It's like Christmas every day when I go through it looking for a part.

The little pull out drawers that use use one the workbench to hold misc things like screws and nuts, etc.

I think about it every time I'm at the computer desk but when I'm anywhere that sells them I keep forgetting to pick one up

I'm impressed! Color Pics on 1" X 2.5" Labels with installation step numbers! Now I realize why you folks are so good at these co-ops and sorting out thousand of components. Great job.....

I would really like to seem a closeup of one of your labels

TADA!

This is one of the sheets I print of lables for the group buys. I didn't take the pictures. That credit goes to WayneJ I think. I stole them from the Wiki

Like your setup, what name brand, where did you get it?

Jim, that is a $20 bin from Lowe's or Home Depot. Nothing fancy, they have red ones, blue ones, and gray ones. They have other styles as well but this is the one I like plus it matches the other ones I have in size and shape.

FYI newbies.....

James has it absolutely correct when it comes to success in building anything -- ORGANIZATION. IMHO, a brain dead monkey can learn how to solder, it's putting the correct part in the correct place (and in the correct orientation) that is the hard part.

Find a solution that works for you (mine and mine), and go with it.
