    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ for 27 Sept 04

    Good Evening Friends,
    I have acquired a few coffee cans of nuts, bolts, and other odds and ends over the years. When I have to dig through my collection, it's a pain (in my fingers).
    Rather than dumping them on my workbench and sorting through them one at a time and return them to the can, what would be a better method of sorting them and returning to the coffee can all at one time?

    Respectfully,

    As usual I have a jig for that as well. It is a piece of chipboard with timber edges all round except in one corner where there is a small opening.

    You tip the contents of your odd screw bucket in it, select your screws and pour the remainder back into the bucket. The opening works like a spout.

    Surprised that you don't know that Ralph as it was on a yankee tips website.

    Peter.
