Metal Can Bolt Storage
 ✖  |
Harvey Malon, Rapid City, S. Dak.: "Nuts, bolts, screws and small parts are always a problem to store. I've found that 1-gal. metal cans can help solve the problem. Cut out one side - using a sharp chisel seems to work the best. Then build a simple wooden cupboard with shelves as deep as the cans and as wide as you want. The vertical distance between cans should be about 1 1/2 times the depth of the cans so that you if you overload them you can still see what's in them. Be sure to put a back on the cupboard. Mark the cans with a marking pen."
