[sdiy] Storage

[Tom Wiltshire]

Hi Paul,

I mostly use these:

A couple of trays covers all the resistor values from 100R to 1M. Then I have separate trays for caps by type; ceramic, polyester, etc.

I don't like the little drawers since they don't lock shut at all, and I've managed to knock the whole shebang over in the past. Make sure you fix them to something solid, or just don't be as daft as me!

I do have some drawers, like these:

I have the bottom of each drawer lined with antistatic foam and use them for IC storage. It's very handy to be able to pull out a drawerful of 74-series logic for example, and see what you've got.
