Default Fastener Control

"Steve B" fired this volley in news:kanndm$fhn$1
@speranza.aioe.org:

Any other ideas for how to organize about two million fasteners?

Steve


Steve, what you use to physically store them is less important than how
much it costs to sort them out.

Give a high school kid out of work a tapped thread gauge, and pay him/her
to do the sorting.

The best thing for them is little teensy cardboard boxes -- kind of like
small quantities of them come in to begin with. Store THEM in labeled
cubbies. It's that, or plastic bags.

Fastener control gets harder, the more you do, and the more leftover
fasteners you end up with.
