If you have a lot of screws(I mean a lot) - how do you store them?

[Brian Tymchak]

Partition filled drawers.

Bill, Very nice! I want to do something similar. What is your source for the bins?

Thanks, Brian

[Wesley Hamstra]

My drawer for screws/nails is a horrible mess. I need to do something about it soon!

It's said to be motivational to express your goals to another party. ..So I'd say you're headed in the right direction.

[Prashun Patel]

Actually, I heard the exact opposite. There's a school of thought that announcing the goal evokes approval from an audience that satiates the need to actually pursue the goal. Instead it's supposed to be better to announce intention without a goal (instead of "I'm running the NY marathon", say "I'm going to get in better shape".)

I think I just heard that on a Ted Talk or some podcast.
I'm now motivated to go find out where I heard that. Aw, forget it. I'm going to get a donut instead.

Personally I prefer Homer's other quote - "Mmmmm, BEER"

Interesting ... Of course, the test will be when Wesley reports back as to whether he did it or not.

Meanwhile, sounds great, Wesley. Go for it !

I like the Talenti gelato jar solution.

Wow, Prashun. That's a lot of gelato.

I made mdf dividers on multiple drawers I built in a wall hanging cabinet. Allows me significant screw, bolt, and nut storage.

[Brian Henderson]

I tend to buy in bulk. Just today, I needed 8 #10 2-inch machine bolts so I bought 100 of them, just on the off-chance that I'll need them again and won't have to run to the hardware store. I've taken to hoarding glass spaghetti jars, I shelved an interior wall between the studs and I can have all of the jars lined up and labeled so I know what I have and what I need. Growing up, my dad just had plastic jars filled with every kind of screw and bolt and it drove me crazy because I'd have to hunt for things. I just buy boxes and dump them into jars and stick them on the wall.

I like the Durham drawers Glen Bradley has, and Harbor Freight used to sell a version of them, but now I can only find them on Amazon.

I build these for nails, screws, etc.:

I picked up some of the Durham cabinets from Zorotools last year on their Black Friday sale. Free shipping and I think 30% off.
