Microfasteners for storing and organizing washers.

[Voidmonster]

I'm sure other folks out there have figured this out, but I needed a way to keep separate two washers that I'd domed together, so I just plopped'em onto a microfastener screw and put a nut on it. Then I looked at the little compartmentalized plastic box I store all my washers in, looked at how the compartments just weren't separate enough to keep them from getting all mixed up, and an idea popped into my head.

This idea.



Now, all my washers are easily accessible, organized, and don't get all mixed up even in the really poorly separated compartments of my toolbox!

hehehe

OCD much ????


I actually bought the little box that Microfasteners had on sale about 2 years ago, it has 4 molded seperated compartments in the front and 4 more in the back then 2 larger ones in the middle.. Since it is molded that way the washers can't slip under any "dividers" which I agree would drive my OCD brain nutz too

What? No! I...

They needed to be...

But...

Yes. I have a slight OCD thing going.

Man, I wish I'd seen those. My afternoon would've had a lot less checking the carpet with a flashlight and a magnet.

My OCD brain was getting angry at the not-so-OCD kit that my washers were in. It seems that the not-so-OCD kit would let the washers fool around with each other, and let the bolts mingle with the nuts. Let's be serious here....no one wants to mingle with the nuts.

So...my OCD brain concocted a plan. That plan involved epoxy. I let all the bolts, nuts, and washers have a short social get together on my workbench while I slipped into their container and improved it's structural integrity.

Now my OCD brain and my kit get along. It's much more peaceful in there these days......the kit....it's more peaceful in the kit.

Very impressed,someday I gotta get the thousands of washers,pins, wedges and all my razor stuff in order.
Somehow they sort of end up in the very bottom of my razor drawer
but I can still find the little suckers

I tried that method... But the boxes I'm keeping them in wouldn't bond to the glue I was using.

That picture looks like my fingers bleeding after I try to find something.

I keep looking at this, and Im thinking you have access to medical supplies, cuz that package on the left looks lie a suture removal kit. lol

I'm like the opposite of OCD. I tend to be more like pixlefixed. I understand his theories of organization.

I tend to be a little ADD and a very random right brain dominant thinker but not OCD at all. That surprises a lot of people when they see the detail in my work.

I few weeks ago I was asking on here about diamond plates for lapping hones. I found three of them the other day. I already had a fine medium and course. They got piled under something and forgotten about.

Nope I'm at the other end of the spectrum.
