Or you can just do this:
Gather up all those old nick nack bolts, nuts, screws, washers, pins,
etc. Now bring the garbage can near and throw all that old **** away.
Next time you do a project go out and get new nuts and bolts. When you
are finished with the project, throw away all the extra new nuts and
bolts. Do NOT keep more junk. Im sure you have enough now.

And the following week, usually on a night after the stores are closed, you
break something and need that odd sized bolt you tossed. My collection of
saved (but sorted or otherwise reasonably neatly stored) old stuff saved my
ass a couple of times.
