Not quite sure what forum to stick this in...
For Xmas this past year, I got one of the little plastic deals with a few dozen drawers, used to organize loose screws, and various other hardware. While I thought it would be intuitive, I am having a hard time figuring out how to organize it. Ultimately I would like to have labels on all the drawers with either "6x1 1 1/4 wood screws"-type labels or more simply "small wood screws."
Is there a list somewhere of basic "categories of hardware and fasteners? Wood screws, round head, flat head, deck screws, sheet metal screws, nails, brads, tacks, eye screws, picture hangers, washers, bolts, carriage bolts, lag bolts, galvanized, stainless... Bah! (And yes, this includes non-woodworking fasteners and hardware.)
