Re:Tips, Tricks of the trade, etc.?


I have a couple of things I do. First I keep small parts like screw, taps and drill bits together by putting them in the large Tabasco bottles. All 2-56 screws, 2-56 taps and #50 drills are all in the same tabasco bottle. I do that with most things, keep all of the associated items together so I don't have to look for them.

I also took a large cookie sheet and epoxied two big strong magnets under it. When I need something out fo the Tabasco bottle I just our the contents of the bottle into the cookie sheet. "MOST" things will stick to the magnets and will keep them from going anywhere. I have a metal desk in my shop and the cookie tray just stickes to the desk. When you drop something either the magnet stops it from bouncing away or the cookie tray catches it.

But that's just me.
