Remembering where things are.
« on: July 01, 2010, 05:25:53 AM »
An excellent tip, posted on the Yahoo 7x12 mini-lathe forum:

I have a drawer in a cabinet labelled "A Safe Place".

I have a box on a shelf labelled "Somewhere" for those odd bits and pieces
that turn up or are acquired and need to be put "somewhere" till they are
allocated a proper storage place. When that is full I have another box
labelled "Somewhere Else".

Floor?? I think I remember seeing that in my younger days. Was it the horizontal thing at the foot of the walls?
