Question of the Month: How do you Organise Your Components? (or don't you?)

cstanton

You're working on a project, maybe at work? Maybe at home. You have your workbench and that might be tidy (we asked about that before... and I'm sure we will again).

But I have all of these resistors! What do I do..

  • It's very simple.....

    The parts that I feel closest to and derive the most satisfaction from are located within arms reach of the desk.  The parts that have behaved badly are banished to the far ends of the lab where I may visit them once or twice as I see fit. Most of the rest of the parts are grouped in piles next to the project they will eventually belong to, waiting patiently for a true connection and purpose in life.  There are some older parts that have become boxed and may never see light again, unless they become repurposed with a greater mission or to be displayed prominently in a window or on a shelf.
