Having to figure out all this stuff on my own, videos like yours help a lot, thanks man!

nice one my friend.. for the mini screw drawers, I hot glue the screw that's in that drawer to the front of the drawer. Then I can easily see what's inside. And if I need to change that screw out, I spray something cold on the glue, like a can of butane (which freezes as it boils away as a gas, making the glue brittle enough to crack off), and I can remove the glue in seconds.

Really appreciate your sorting idea with the cans. I've got a bunch to do so your idea helps to start in broad categories and re-sort even more afterwards. Thanks!

I kinda enjoy sorting hardware. It's kinda zen like. I've got a couple of cans and bins full of nuts and bolts that I gotta sort, if I ever get the stuff that needs to be done first done.

Great! I first sort "screwish", "nailish", "boltish" and "odd". Then I do have a gauge with the holes and length, but you quickly can mostly tell by eye, to sort "screwish" into (1) thickness ie #6, 8 & 10. (2) panhead or countersink, (3) leghth

Awesome ideas, I'm really glad you shared this! Hell, before you even got to the sorting you gave me the idea of using tin cans from veggies or whatever as buckets in the garage. That's genius! Thanks for sharing!

The "junk" is probably the most expensive bin. I have organized bins for everything. Literally have 5 or 6 organizers full or every kind and size spring you could imagine. I started this way picking up extra hardware on a jobsite or dumpster diving here and there. After years of scavenging and buying from closing businesses I have a fully stocked and organized shipping container just for hardware. I rarely ever need to go to the store when building or tinkering.

Last year I bought a house with a barn and the previous owner ran a fabricating business out of it I have several hundred pounds of Hardware to sort I just started yesterday and I'm doing this method

This is exactly how I sort my screws. By the way, if you search online, you can find PDFs listing all the fasteners with images. I use them to make labels and print them on my laser printer.

Great ideas! Thanks.

Great idea with the silicone. Thank you!

I drink a lot of those Starbucks Frappuccinos in the glass bottles. I’m starting to use those to sort my fasteners.

There’s something oddly pleasing about the crunchy rattle sound of a parts box.

I have too many different types of screws and bolts, wondering how to best group them for the small trays? What makes most sense? Width, thread size, head, length? What combination makes most practical sense?

Amazon has clear lids to cover cans....sm,med and large

I just go buy new to much time to sort
