WOODWORKING QUIZ for 27 Sept 04

[Ralph Jones]

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,

[ozwinner]

Go out and buy new nuts and bolts.


Al :D

Use a magnet? a car radio speaker would do the job

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.

I have a metal one that I made as an apprentice.

Good Evening Friends,
The quiz for today came from a magazine with the same question.
Yes, Peter I did know that and as a matter of fact I have on as you described yours.

Good answers by all on this one and I will attach a picture for this answer.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,
