Default Storage type depends on size

I use a variety of storage arrangements, depending upon item size:

(1) Small stuff, like fuzes, connectors, clips, globes, nomenclature plates etc are in labelled plastic butter containers with a lid and a label, on purpose built shelves, and in a plastic drawer system. Easy to see the labels.

(2) Nuts, bolts, screws, rivets, washers: plastic compartmentalized storage boxes with hinged lids, stacked in purpose-built shelving.

(3) medium-large parts: plastic heavy duty tubs with lids, labelled with a number. The part description and tub number are entered on the database on the workshop laptop as I store them, making locating a restored or new part later quite simple. Amazing how you forget where a part is when you have put it away a year or so before.

(4) Large finished parts such as seats, windscreen frame, etc: wrapped in plastic sheet, bound with tape and hung on hooks secured to the workshop wall high up near the ceiling: out of the way, safe from damage prior to use, and sealed against dust and dirt.

Don't like or use the open-topped storage containers as they inevitably collect dirt and dust.

Mike
