I need to echo the advice about plenty of storage totes, and want to add one lesson of my own. Get a stationary supplier's attention and find a hundred or two paper hang tags. Either on strings or wires, when you take something off, put a part name, stock number, condition and source in some form of recognizable shorthand (NOS, TO - Take Off -, used, etc). When I've acquired parts from outsiders, I tend to forget some of the details. With tags, I don't have to remember everything, and I can concentrate on the more important learning.

This is not my slave cable, but it shows a tag that identifies exactly what the piece is.
