Bolts I order horizontally by length and vertically by size. fine
thread on the left, coarse on the right, and on the far right washers
and nuts. I actually don't have my own stuff well organized yet but a
friend of mine was able to get a pik-a-nut display from a parts store
going out of business, IMHO that is the ideal setup for organizing
hardware because the little shelves are the right size for just shoving
the pik-a-nut boxes on there without having to transfer the hdwe. into
little drawers or whatever.
Light bulbs end up all getting tossed into the same bin, but I do keep
6V and 12V separated. Don't know if that helps any, but that's what I do.
