[sdiy] Component storage

[Dave Kendall]

Hi.
I use those steel multi-drawer thingies too, mounted on the wall, with 
the resistor one closest to the workbench.
You can get them with different sized drawers, which I've found helpful.

100K resistors get the big tray at the bottom, and 10K, 1K, 47K and 
1N4148 diodes each get one of the larger drawers.
Other common values get their own trays, some shared by 2 values. The 
weird ones are in drawers together, eg. 16K,24K,27K,36K,43K,51K.
If they're on strips the strips are written on, loose ones in labelled 
bags.

Cheers,
Dave.
