I use this Akro Mills container.

Fairly cheap and can store lots of smaller accesories. Not sure what size figures you have, but these cases are perfect for Nendoroid sized parts.

Each bin has a indent in the middle to separate it into 2 with a divider (I use cardboard I cut from the box it came in). Each divided spot is perfect for a Nendoroid.

If a figure has bigger or lots of accesories, just leave it as the bigger size. It even fits some spare parts from 1/7 & 1/8 sized scale figures. Like Asukas spare head from her Jersey Version.

I did this for a while and honestly it sucked. It's way too fiddly and takes up too much space. Buy yourself one of these part bins and a box of the small baggies. The bags lay on their side and fit perfectly. I point the opening left and right alternating for each resistor group (i use number and decade order). I have over a thousand resistors in one drawer. Same thing with ceramic caps, electrolytics, and they're very easy to thumb through and grab one. If you want to get fancy you can put a piece of card stock between each group.

You now have all the other drawers to sort things and it only takes up a little bit of wall space.

I was an electronics hobbiest when I first got my ham license in 1975. I remember very clearly how much difficulties I had with organization, so when I made my first big Arduino stuff purchase last month, I bought a couple of these and I'm very happy I did. Each drawer holds several arduinos or shields. I also got one of these for components & parts.

My collection got way too big for the Wilton caddies so I ended up buy a shelf from target for my mudroom to hold all of my baking pans, cake rounds, boxes, confectioners sugar (in a container), ap flour (also in container), etc. I also bought and mounted a tool box of sorts on the wall. It’s a large rectangular storage cabinet with something like 24 drawers that I’ve labeled with types of tips, couplers, sprinkles, flower nails, gel colors, etc. I use reusable bags that lay on top just fine. Icing spatulas live in a utensil holder next to my mixer. Turntable lives in a cabinet beneath where I work with the my fondant. That’s about as organized as I could get.


Edit: because I feel like my description of my tool organizer was a little weird, here’s what I’m talking about. Not the exact one I have but it’s the same

I'm a fan of these, these, and these. I'm not a fan of these.

I sort by a combination of color and piece using a three tiered system.

Tier 1 - Small Parts Storage
All of a given piece are put into a drawer at this point. As more drawers are needed, I begin to sort into colors. Once I fill 4 drawers, I move to Tier 2

Tier 2 - Stanley Cases
Most of my brick and plates are in these. Each has ten interchangeable trays so you can reorganize to have a case you can take with you for a given project. I mostly use the 10 compartment model but own a couple of the 25 compartment for things like 1x1 tiles that come in a large number of colors. Once one of the large compartments is full, I move to tier 3.

Tier 3 - Shoebox storage
Each of these holds 6.5 qts of brick which is equivalent to one Pick a Brick case from the LEGO store. If one of these gets filled up, I start a second one.

Most of my collection is sorted this way. I do use these for minifigs and plastic drawers for things like bionicle parts.

u/flipsider101 · 3 pointsr/AnimeFigures

I have 2 plastic parts drawers that I use. I'll take a pic when i get home.

u/kikisaurus · 2 pointsr/beadsprites

I started using the same type of container that you listed. I will never go back. It was so annoying to use for me. It was difficult to get the beads out that I needed without spilling colors into each block around it.

That being said, I use one similar to this. Well, I use two of them...one about that size and one that's larger.

When I do my pieces, or am sorting large containers of mixed beads, I can just pull out the drawers I need to bring over to my work area. It's also relatively thin and not very tall so it would easily fit in the top area of a closet or something tall and out of reach from the little kiddo.

As far as moving with it goes, the beads will come out of the back if you lay it on it's side...when we moved, I took each drawer and put dumped it in a plastic bag labelled with the color name. When we arrived and I was unpacking, I was able to just dump the bag back into the drawer and reuse the bag.

Edit: Looked it up, Big one...Little one

These are the exact two that I use. On the larger one, I use the big drawers on the side for two different things. The left side houses my black, white, and red beads since those are the ones that I always have the most of. The right side houses a drawer for "unopened packs" a "to be sorted" drawer, where I dump either mix packs or messed up projects so I can sort the beads out later, and the bottom drawer holds my tools...so it has a few pairs of tweezers, some masking tape, and some tiny paint bowls that I used to use for beads when I had them separated a different way. I've been doing Perler for a couple of years now and this has by far to me been the most useful and least expensive way to house my beads. :)

  1. Buy a 24 pack of wooden hangers and limit the clothes that I hang up in my closet to those 24 pieces. (Not including pants/logo t-shirts/camis, ect). I currently have about 48 plastic hangers from target (replacement for my mismatched hangers). This will allow me to focus on buying quality pieces that are "worthy" of the wood hangers and to eliminate the clothes that no longer bring me joy.

  2. Buy more jewelry! I almost never wear jewelry because I can't justify spending $25-50 for a necklace with a student budget. I wear a lot of neutral colors and feel like I need a few statement pieces.

  3. Buy a hardware cabinet (something like this) to store my jewlery in. I also want to find cute buttons to store matching stud earrings with so I never lose one.

  4. Keep track of my clothing purchases over the next year.

What's funny is, you're going to run out space with that REAL quick.

This is what I got for my larger rings

This is for my smaller rings

These are awesome for seeing things at a glance, and keeping a storage spot for them

u/mgsickler · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Akro-Mils.

They can fit about ~200 switches or so in each drawer.

u/Fraun_Pollen · 2 pointsr/LegoStorage

Thanks for the tip on depth. Going to give Akro-Mils a shot since Papimax is a bit intense for what I'm thinking. Will be trying out 2 of the 24 drawer and 1 of the 44 drawer and will see how far that gets me by sorting by brick area (too many unique pieces to keep true storage-by-part affordable). For large flats that get grouped together, I may end up using a pair of simple 3 drawer organizers I have laying around. Worse case I'll get another 44 and take advantage of dividers.

u/fotbr · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I have two of these I use for my in-shop "hardware store", as well as one with smaller drawers for everything else. The bigger drawers are my unit of measurement here.

I standardized on 1/4-20 hardware for all my jigs and fixtures in my shop. I've got a drawer each of hex-head bolts in 1/2" increments from 1/2" up to 4" long. If I need something longer than that, it won't be a last-minute thing. A drawer each of nuts, normal washers, fender washers, split "lock" washers, and wing-nuts. Another drawer contains some "star" or "t" handles.


Same for woodscrews, I try to keep a drawer's worth of #6, #8, and #10 in 1", 1.25", 1.5" and 2" on hand. Specialty screws go in smaller drawers.

When I decided to build up my hardware store, I just picked stuff up a box or two at a time, rather than going out and buying it all at once.

u/TehZmann · 1 pointr/boardgames

My wife used to use it for arts and craft. I am pretty sure she got it in England. I found something similar on amazon and I am pretty sure you can get something like that at Hobbylobby or Michaels as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003TV3NL0/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?qid=1451571351&sr=8-34&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=small+box+organizer&dpPl=1&dpID=51ZlRZllqNL&ref=plSrch

u/waldorf120 · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

These. They also make a 44 drawer and 64 drawer version. Cheap, good quality, and just the right size for holding keyboard bits. I highly recommend them! (I was not paid for this advertising, but if Akro Mills wants to pay me I won't say no)

u/opensaysme79 · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I think something like this would be a good option if you have various types of screws and nails.

Amazon. I have this one but the 64-drawer one is this one.

u/LobsterThief · 1 pointr/electronics

Awesome. I highly recommend investing in one of these soon ;) it will change your life.

So much time I spent on projects was spent finding things, so I get things done so much quicker now.

What projects have you done so far?

u/estherfm · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Drawers!

This book, used, is under $10.

u/joelthezombie15 · 1 pointr/randomactsofamazon

I wouldn't call it art but I make bead sprites of video game characters and stuff. I'll try and post pictures later when I get light, it's currently 4am.

I love myself because... I have nice hair?

I need this to organize my beads Better. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TV3NL0/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_zD.qtb0WSBE33

Small pieces:
Akro mills 64 drawer storage drawers. Sort by shape and consider grouping similar parts.

Large pieces:
Just get 2-gallon buckets with lids from your local hardware store.

this is a godsend and used my wife's label maker to label all the drawers and what not. it makes things so simple and clean

u/ninjakitt3n · 0 pointsr/lego

You don't need to, but I want to. These are the shelves I'm getting. https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10124-Plastic-Hardware-6-5-Inch/dp/B003TV3NL0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479924940&sr=8-4&keywords=akro+mills

Going to grab six of them at first once the color sort is complete. It's a lot easier to sort by type when the color is already done. When I say type I don't mean one drawer for each specific brick, more like one for slopes, one for bricks, one for modified bricks. All color sorted and ready to go.
