How do you store your screws, nuts, bolts and washers. Revamping the shelving in my shop/garage and looking for ideas.
I would just like to say that this level of organization is the sign of a namby pamby mind. How anyone could possibly think of doing something so sensible is beyond me. It is far beyond me. If there is anything I hate is everything in its place and a place for everything.I moved all of mine into the HF storage boxes I got on sale, then made some racks for. Easy to grab a few of the size(s) I need or take the whole box to the bench. This was in my old shop, but have them in my current garage.

As I collect loose hardware it goes into a small bin and I eventually sort that back into the bins.
I’ve started buying the large versions on top and am sorting larger hardware into those that I frequently use and want to keep stocked. Prior to this I had hundreds of partially used bags and boxes just stuffed in a box. More often than not I was just buying new ones for each project as it was faster than searching through the box.

Looking everything else in my shop, and life, you certainly wouldn’t think my mind could manage this little part so well.I would just like to say that this level of organization is the sign of a namby pamby mind.

Mike, I used to feel the same way as you about Darren, but then I got to meet him in person a couple of times. I can safely say I was shocked - SHOCKED, I say - that he's pretty much just like the rest of us. Well, everyone except Glenn, of course. As we all know, Glenn's not a real person...he's just a holographic AI bot that posts artificial pictures of incredibly organized projects in an incredibly organized shop.I would just like to say that this level of organization is the sign of a namby pamby mind.

Be careful Steve, you are heading down the namby pamby road.....Thanks everyone, like the HF solution especially since I'm headed there today. Probably will just set the boxes on a shelf for now we'll see where it goes.
I've a few years worth of peanut butter lids screwed to a ceiling.... nailed on the ceiling.
