you could use an icecube tray,or a muffin/cupcake baking sheet(pan).
they make them in several sizes. Or Even an old egg carton.

I feel your pain brother. I came up with a novel solution to this.
I like asparagus. The can's around 3" diameter and 8" tall.
I made a bracket to hold 4 of them under the "over the bench"
shelf. As I remove screws, knobs and the occasional long bit
of hardware, I drop them in the can.
IF the "thing being beat on" has to be set aside, ordered parts
etc. then the can gets dumped into a zip lock bag and placed with
the thing I was working on.

The other problem I *used* to have. My eyesight ain't what it used
to be, so I need an eye loupe occasionally to read part numbers or
double check soldered bits. This requires taking off my glasses.
You know where this is headed. I'd lose them in the "pile 'o cruft"
on the bench. I broke down and bought a set of those over the back
of your neck "granny leashes" for the glasses. Now I don't have to
grope around to find them.

I prefer to replace the screws in their original locations as I'm

** Why do that ??

Almost no customer ever wants to see them and the tiny few that do have very
weird reasons.

I will not return faulty valves to customers for fear they may try to re-use
or sell them.

I had a Hartke combo on the bench today. Owner is a keyboard player, and
reckons that he blows the tweeter fuse regularly, and as a result, the
fuseholder was getting slack and intermittent, so could I put a new one
in, please. He normally gains access to the crossover board to replace
the fuse, by taking out the right hand side handle insert, but the
captive nuts were getting to be a poor grip in the wood, so I decided
the easiest alternative way to do the job, obtaining good access to the
board, was to remove the speaker. The grill is held by ten quite large
wood screws, and the speaker by eight large machine screws, into more
captive nuts. I didn't unsolder the bass driver. Just left it on the
bench at the end of its wires. It didn't take long to fit a new
fuseholder, and screw the board back in. I dropped the speaker back into
its hole, and then went to have some lunch. When I came back, I started
to look for the screws to reassemble the thing, and they were gone ....
Now the bench is pretty tidy at the moment, so there's no reason that
they shouldn't have been easily visible, but they weren't.

I spent the next half hour turning the air blue, and accusing everyone
from the missus to next door's cat, of hiding or stealing the screws. I
crawled through all the normal detritus and solder splats under every
bench, but nothing. Eventually, I decided that I must have had a senior
moment, and tidied them into a film pot (I always put screws from items
waiting for parts, into film pots), and put it inside the cabinet. And
then forgotten that I did, so excited was I at the prospect of my
toasted cheese sandwiches for lunch. So I lifted the speaker back out
and felt around in the wadding, but no, nothing. Then the phone rang, so
I laid the speaker back down on the bench and yes - you've guessed it -
18 bloody great screws stuck to the magnet ... DOH ! d:~\

Arfa

Been there several times. Make it now a priority to check the magnet
structure for missing screws.

(if he was ever there to begin with), and the rest of his time in
Florida spent real-life stalking. He even extended his stay by two
days, so he could get in more stalking.

"You know i have a legal team who specializes in internet law. And I

Meat Plow losing his connection to reality, insinuating that he's law

Message-ID: <pan.2011.07.02.00.58.38@emutt.macspoofer.lmao>
"I could be LE posing as Meat Plow. It can't be dis-proven."

Meat Plow visits a massage parlor for a Happy Ending massage.
But they refused to give him a Happy Ending his second time there.
That explains why he's gay, he's so repulsive that he can't even PAY
for HAND JOBS from women.

Catherine Griffith = William Malone Griffith, Jr.'s mother

Julia M. Griffith = William Malone Griffith, Jr.'s daughter

Questions yet to be answered:
Who is Justin M. Griffith?

Angela C. Griffith-Warshefski came all the way from Pompano Beach,
Florida to witness and sign MeatPlow's apology letter?

Or did William Malone Griffith, Jr. forge the witness signatures,
which would indicate some level of insincerity in the apology?

If William Malone Griffith, Jr. did indeed forge the witness
signatures, is his family cognizant of him using them in this way?

Who is Deborah Ann Griffith?

Who is Sherri Renee Christie, William D. Christie (age 54) and Lillie

Military exchange vendor rules said the parts had to be returned

and hooked up each filament to a variac and ran it up until *POP*.
Nothing in the rule book on that, apparently.

** I once bent and broke the pins on some octal valves a customer insisted

You should have seen their face ....

On another occasion, a vendor sold me 50 each MJ15003/4 power transistors
that proved to be fakes ( re-labelled, old stock 2N3055s and MJ2955s). So I
took off the numbering with acetone and sent them back with a request for a
full refund.

Got a hot letter from his lawyer over that one.

Got the refund too, eventually.

DUT;device under test. easier to pronounce than UUT. Or "TBBO".

Now, there's a man in need of some shelving.

I have quite a bit of shelving in the office, all of it full of junk.
There are also two closets, full of junk, and 3 more rolling shelf
units, full of junk, and two desks, piled high with junk. Also, a
small table which 3 sewing machines under repair, and another desk,
with the cell phone rebuilding division. Diversification is the key
to ummm.... well, something.

Here's an old 2006 photo. Scroll horizontally:
<http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/pics/office/slides/office-panorama-2.html>
I'll post a replacement when I have time to make another panorama.

http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/pics/office/office-mess-03.jpg

Well, that's a start.
(I assume that shot was *after* the temblor.)

The two photos were shot yesterday. The quake was in 1989. I was in
a different office during the quake but moved into my present palatial
offices in 1990. Having all the racks on wheels should help with the
next quake if the movement is mostly horizontal.

A piece of 1 x 4 would do.

Won't work for me.  There's no room on the workbench to put anything

The plastic tubs work well enough when all that's inside are some
screws.  However, if I put in some brackets or sheet metal hardware,
it becomes top heavy and subject to getting knocked over.  Maybe cat
food cans would work better.

There's a 4ft fluorescent lamp under the shelf. Much better than an
overhead lamp. There are two more shop lights hanging from the
ceiling, but the shelf light works best. I also have a light on the
articulated magnifying glass and an LED light that I wear on my head.

All the racks are in another room, crammed with equipment, little of
which is operational. Most of the racks are used for storing
equipment, or in one case, for hanging my various jackets and
overalls.

it's best to mount the main light for the bench over and slightly behind
you,so it lights your work. I've had to design a couple of TEK field
service office layouts,when we moved into new buildings. Having the main
light directly over the bench results in shadows on the vertical parts of
the DUT.
I prefer to not have to wear a headlight.

I didn't even get done reading your post and the first thing that came
to mind was the speaker magnet. 20/20 hindsight is precious.

I think one of the worst things to take apart is a laptop. I used
labeled 2" x 3" baggies for everything.

The last stupid thing I did was when I was working on a lawn mower I
took the flywheel cover off and regapped the coil with an index card
(best thing to use) and I pinched the spark plug wire when
reassembling. The mower started, ran for a while until I moved it and
it stopped. The spark plug wire was pinched pretty bad. I repaired
it with high temperature self-fusing electrical tape, about $40/roll,
but I always have it handy.

That wasn't *my post, dude.

If you're going to post to Usenet (especially
if you're going to use Google's Web-based interface),
learn how to do that properly.

Start by learning how to include some context
from the post to which you are responding.
