I hoard a lot of stuff; all kinds of steel, aluminum and such that I "might" need for "some" future project.
I was born poor so I have a tendency to not throw out anything I "think" I might be able to use.
It works for me and I rarely have to buy anything when I"m building something.
I am pretty good about saving (and buying when they"re cheap) bolts, nuts, washers and screws.
When I find a little time, I "semi" sort the stuff so It doesn"t take forever to find something if I need it.
Washers: 1/2" or larger or smaller than 1/2"
Bolts smaller than 1/4" all in one bucket
Nuts smaller than 1/4" all in one can
1/4" bolts NF and NC all in one bucket
1/4" nuts sorted by NF, NC and all locking.
1/4" washers and lock washers individually.
5/16" thru 9/16" Bolts sorted indivdually by size and thread type but not by length.
Nuts 5/16" thru 9/16" by size and thread.
All Bolts larger than 9/16" go in one bucket.
All nuts bigger than 9/16" go in another bucket.
I also have cans for brass bushings, steel bushings and nylon bushings as well as for "unusual" washers.
Once you establish the containers, its not a big deal to put stuff where it belongs!For me, it"s worth the effort and if I didn"t have my own "stuff", I"d have to drive 10 miles or more to get it.
Oh....and I have other buckets for all Gr.8, all SS, all brass and all Metric bolts and nuts.
I guess I am a hoarder!! LOL

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
