Small Parts Storage
Guys, this is what I use to store my resistors, mica caps, safety caps, etc.
I cut the cardboard from Home Depot large moving boxes. I get 2 parts bins from each box. I lay out the pattern and cut it out using my #11 hobby knife. On the fold lines I cut part way through the cardboard. Once cut out I fold it and tape the edges using shipping tape. The envelopes are #3 coin envelopes that are 4 1/4 high by 2 1/2 wide. I use a piece of 3/4 x 3 long of scotch tape and tape over the bottom flap. This prevents the other envelopes from catching on the flap when replacing the envelope back into the storage box. I use Aleene's Tacky Glue to glue in the divider. It helps to draw a 1/4 wide space on the "inside" of the box before folding and taping. These lines are then used to locate the divider. The pictures should provide the details. A pdf drawing of the layout is included with this post. |

I've always preferred drawer organizers like these: https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-101.../dp/B003TV3NJ2
I find them at garage sales and thrift shops regularly for dirt cheap, they are a heck of a lot less effort than making my own, and I can see inside them to track parts stocks. I use them for my cap stocks and keep them at the back of the work bench or on some adjacent flat surface.

Whatever works -- each person has their own preferences.

Yep! My personal favorite is using the 1 pint plastic containers with wide screw on tops that Sorbetto and Gelato come in. Preparing the container for component storage is a very yummy experience.

Haha! Bring home a freezer-full and explain to the wife that you bought a bunch of "storage containers," but for some reason they came with frozen stuff in them... |

I was never that patient for a project like that. I'm better with the electronic restorations, where I do a very respectable job. |
