Tackle box!

Right now, they just accumulate in a drawer of one of those plastic desk cabinets from office depot:



I need a better way to deal with that, because it sucks to have to dig through it all when I need a simple adapter of some kind. I just scored a microphone gigbag from MF for like $15 and all my mic paraphernalia will go in there. If I had more space, I'd rig up some sort of hanging motif, but my office is overcrowded as it is.

hehehe. now i've not search for the item #
but i went to the home despot to get some industrial shelving for the studio and some big "tupperware" type of containers.. they came in all sizes and were really cheap.. again, i was in bliss from home depot.

The tackle box idea is another good one.. there are so many large versions of a tackle box/tool box that work great for organizing the little things.. and they usually can be locked if you have problems with those things growing legs and walking away...

I work in an office. Whenever anyone gets new business cards (or when someone quits and I clean out their desk, including the 500 business cards they ordered minus the 2 they actually used) I swipe the box. I have a drawer in my desk full of business-card boxes, tops and bottoms, lined up side by side, each for different kinds of connectors, batteries, picks, little tools, spare parts, etc.
