It seems that since I've returned to the hobby of electronics via MOTM, I find that I am accumulating quite a few discrete components for other projects as well. My preferred means of component storage and organization are the plastic, modular organizers manufactured by Plano Molding and EMPlast. The most common size plastic drawer size that I use is 2 inches wide by 5 and 1/4 inches long. My Question: Does anyone know of a supplier of non-conductive foam that is cut in this size? It would be great if there was a satellite company that produced foam sizes that fit all common plastic storage drawer sizes. 2nd Question: I am currently using the old DYMO label maker to identify the contents of each drawer. I've tried using laser-printed labels that I've taped to the interior (facing out) of each clear drawer but this is much trouble as I have plenty of PC's in my shop but no laser printer. And I just love the immediacy and tactile feedback of the whole DYMO label thing (retro 70's tech --- dig it?). My apologies if this topic just seems to damned anal for the list, but I think those of you that take pride in your shops can understand. I'm just interested in how everyone else is approaching this. Now --- back to Sunday shop organization and the Newcastle Brown Ales which await me in the shop refrigerator. Thanks, Kevin
