For many bag parts that will not fit into the usual bins I use small Mason jars. I put the bag number on the top and can easily see what is inside.
When the jar is empty I just turn it over to remind me that the part is attached to the airplane. They are relatively cheap and easy to stack on a shelf.

It seems to me that keeping them all in the bags may becoming problematic after awhile.

So what has worked well for you?


I bought a bunch of the little stackable bins at Harbor Freight, then added labels (marker would work) and this is good for all the small parts. I have about 4 tall and maybe 10 wide on a shelf.



I have clear, stackable tupperware (cheap) like bins for rivets. Mine are about 6 x 6 inces and 1.5 inches tall. They are very hard to tip over. Label all sides with the rivet size...makes life easy. The cleco's go in bins and are very easy to manage.

Speaking of the Sportair workshops, anyone going to be at next weekends
in OSH? I'll be at the composite class. I'm a repeat offender of them
and always learn something.

Does running a low speed electric drill through hand count? Working on
RV of the 6 wheel variety count? Wink

Funny you should ask. I just posted something on the Yahoogroup with the same question. I'll be there (avionics and electrical wiring) with another RV-building bud (7's). I think it would be cool to try to get a group together for dinner Saturday night.

Thanks for all the comments!

I ended up getting these: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=93929

They were onsale for $2.50 this week. Four of them handled all the bags in the empennage kit.

Sounds good, I'm fairly local to OSH (just north of Appleton) so I'm
just heading back home afterwards if nothing is going on. I took the
electrical class about a year ago, even though I feel I'm fairly
competent, and it was worthwhile.
