I know I’m not the only one with bins of ”orphan” nuts, bolts, screws, washers and misc hardware. Over the past couple of years I’ve accumulated several good sized containers and since it was raining here, I decided to start sorting them out. I thought it criminal to throw out good hardware.
Here’s bin #1, 75% done, after a “pre-sort”. It was heaping over the top before I started. Not shown is the big bucket of nuts and bolts. Recovered lots of washers and a bunch of wood screws. Not shown is the large container of nuts and bolts and misc hardware. All of these need to be put in their proper places now. The metric and imperial nut and bolt sort will happen another day. Two more similar bins after this one is done.
Hoping this will serve as motivation to start sorting your collection out. Lol. For me, I’m going to try my best to not let it build up again.
