I likely would not hold myself to 6 sizes...and in fact, I don't...but

if I
had to, these are likely to be the sizes that I'd keep around then just

buy
the ones that I need for a project. Or design/redesign the project to

use
the screws that I have, if possible.

I also keep some #4 brass plated at 3/8" to 1/2" for smallish hinges in
smallish wood. I also have some deck screws and the like.
screw,


What kind of woodworkers are you? To qualify as bonafide woodworkers, you're
required to have on hand several of those 64 drawer sorting bins as well as
having a bucket of unsorted nuts, screws and bolts.

I'm calling up the 'Woodworkers master list' society and having your names
removed.





Don't have them remove mine, unfortunately I'm exactly as you
describe, much to my dismay as I'm trying to find that piece of
hardware I know I have.

The success rate at finding that thing you know you have and avoiding
a trip to the hardware store is about one time in ten around here.
