Because I could totally use a proper coffee can or two. In my shop cleanup, I am discovering vast quantities of fasteners that have become estranged from their proper location, and i need to store them at least temporarily until I want to spend way to much time sorting through fasteners that is.
Anyway, this thought reminded me of my dads shop growing up. He had a tiny basement workshop, and he had a series of baby food jars, suspended from the floor joists, the lids screwed to the joists, where all manner of fasteners were organized, and then one big steel coffee can in the corner. The whatnot can, because screws, nuts, bolts and whatnot went in there until Dad figured out where it actually went.
As I recall, he built most of the furniture in our house growing up, well, he and my grandpa, with an old Crafsman contractor saw, tube lathe, a jig saw, a drill press with some home made sanding spindles,a router, circular saw, and hand drill..
He had such little room in that tiny shop, but it worked for him.
Anyway, makes me wonder. What are folks doing for catch all to keep fasteners en masse as it were until you can properly sort them?
