Storage/organize the little odds and ends?

I use the drawer full of bits and pieces until there is not enough room,,,,,, then start a new drawer

Fishing tackle box comes to mind

Depends on how much total space you need and the size of the items you are storing. Mix and match as needed:

1. Organizer Drawers
2. Organizer Cases with Adjustable Dividers
3. Racks holding multiples of #2
4. Stackable Bins for large items

Jump to the ~5:00 time mark and check out the number and variety of storage containers Cris has distributed through his workshop in the background.

I'm still working this problem out--I may put my meager carpentry skills to work and try to make something, my workbench looks like my EDC boxes have the flu.

What he said, works great!

+1 for the one xbanker put up. I also have smaller tackle-like boxes around too.

To clarify for those who aren't familiar, Plano and other companies make tackle cases with dividers. They are not tackle boxes in the more traditional sense but rather flat plastic boxes with a flip top that latches or snaps shut. They come in a wide variety of sizes and quite a few options with regards to depth and width of the segments.

Most allow you to arrange the segments by moving dividers as you need.

Tackle boxes work too but the cases for lures and such offer a lot of options, are mostly cheaper, and don't have to take up as much room.

The real kicker for me is that most of them are clear so you can see what's in the case without having to open it. They are also easy to label.

I have a small bench for working on projects in my basement. On the bench, I use these ...



... and these ...



Near the bench, I have some shelf storage where I use these for larger items ...

I use an Allit case (the yellow one in the background, only that mine is red) for my knife sharpening kit and components. Allit has many more modular cases. A case like xbanker for most of my other small things (key rings,…) and Ikea Moppe mini chest drawers in small and large for bigger items.

My son uses one of those Allit cases for small Lego parts. Works pretty slick.

PLANO cases...like everything else in my life.

I use one of these. http://www.gerstnerusa.com/

Time to start looking for libraries that are shutting down. Better hurry though as finding libraries with physical card catalogues instead of computer terminals is harder and harder. I grew up in a town with a large library and the card catalogs seemed to go on forever.

OK.... this is the second thread that has made me feel old. Y'all need to stop this right quick.
