Featured Bowl of Delicious Mixed Nuts: Food for Thought!

Yes, much better to see them laughing and happy .. Joy.

 

Ummmmmm.........this was about the NAILS!!!!!

 

In all honesty, I was never a fan (of either) myself. But when studying what makes a society a society, you have to look at all parts and parcels.....................

 

The nut bowl was part of my ongoing hoardganizing. Here's one wall of the tool room showing the fastener storage. It is mostly bolts, screws, etc., each little tray has a different type or diameter or length or pitch of thread. 2nd pic is rack no. 5 which has odds and ends of hardware in addition to bolts. I don't know the purpose of a number of those things. I bought these racks of hardware during theliquidation sale I mentioned many months ago, but just finished re-erecting it today. There are over 600 little trays.

 

There are over 600 little places to store treasures...................or to lose the part you need RIGHT now.....................

 

A nice clean one of those would make great jewelry storage.....

 

Anybody know what these little aluminum spool-like things are used for? They are about an inch long. They are solid, one-piece objects. Sry for fuzzy-wuzzy photo.

 

they remind me of a guide for drawers.....or some type of wire ...

 

I'll get some better photos soon, and add some other mystery items.

 

Rollers for something...? If they are hardened aluminum.

 

They look like rollers and blade for a tubing cutter...but not if aluminum.

 

That set-up would hold my entire hoard...collection .... yeahright HOARD with some space to spare. Maybe.
