I use these to organize and store SMD components.

I use these enormously big-ass cabinetrys to store thru-hole components such as ICs in DIP packages.

u/AnalogKid2112 · 8 pointsr/EngineeringStudents

I picked up a bunch of cheap part drawers like these when they were on sale at a local store. Very easy to organize stuff if you have the desk space.

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but I'll give it to you anyway: sort by need. I'm a WWII diorama and vehicle builder. I have separate large plastic containers for brown plates, green plates, white plates, tan plates, dark tan plates, etc; all earth tones that I'll need a lot of for dioramas. I also have large bins for grass pieces and leaf pieces. I use small drawers for the vehicle parts that get used frequently. The rest of my parts are generally just used as "filler" parts for unseen sections of my dioramas, so they're sorted very roughly. I've included a link to the drawers that I use.

tl;dr: Depending on your building style, you'll need different organization. Experiment, and try to decide what's best for you. No two builders need the same organization.

u/ZIIIIIIIIZ · 5 pointsr/lego

I just started on this venture myself, and I am planning on using some of these: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1AMLS2ATACRU2&coliid=I2HEX98NDSJA7E to store the bricks in. They have different versions that include all large bins, and a mix of the two.


Now looking at your picture, if you can imagine for a minute, my plan is to have a worktable something like your bottom half, and then above mounted on the walls I would place those parts containers.


I was also thinking that on the workbench I would secure down some of the larger baseplates as a build/play area.


I have measure my wall, and I could hold 15 of those storage bins, but really i would only get about have or so due to the table.


In my mind this sounds good....but I will have to see how it goes....and post pictures!

u/JamesRiav · 5 pointsr/beadsprites

I recently purchased an Akro-Mils 64-drawer, and it has been absolutely magnificent. Each drawer comfortably stores a 1000 count bag of beads, with some room to spare. There is no back on the unit, which I thought was odd at first, but this has not been an issue in use. All in all, it has ended up being a really solid option for this hobby.

Edit: Added some details 😊

u/Cold_Sore_Bay · 4 pointsr/beadsprites

Thanks! I'm hoping I can pull off a decent finish. Nervous about the ironing phase since this will be my largest project to date. As for the organizer I came across them in post on this sub from a few years back. Here's the link to it on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_dQjVCb24HTHXM

The drawers perfectly fit a 1000 pack of beads. I just cut the names of the colors off the bags and tape them to drawers and then organize them in a rainbow spectrum.

u/robotgraves · 4 pointsr/diypedals

I'll start with a meta one. How do you organize your parts?

I am currently using 4 of these: https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC

with a mix of 15 of these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80102919/

And I feel like i just can't keep things as organized as I'd like. What do you do?

u/Kuiyy · 4 pointsr/lego

Akro-mils 64 drawer seems to be what most people here use. https://www.amazon.ca/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC

u/chilidirigible · 4 pointsr/AnimeFigures

A couple of years ago, /u/DancingQueen5961 recommended this storage cabinet by Akro-Mils. I filed it in my wishlist and sat on the idea for a while.

Now I've finally bought one. Two of the concerns raised in the original thread do apply, specifically:

These single-sized drawers can't fit larger accessories. (The case with the multiple drawer sizes would be best for that.)

Front lip may catch on things when the drawer is opened. I might not use the figma bags for this reason. However, I'd probably still use some buffer material in the drawers to keep things from bouncing around too much.

The issue with too many drawers doesn't apply in my case: I actually have more figures with accessories than the cabinet has drawers, though as mentioned not all of them will have all of their accessories be suitable for the cabinet. But it's enough to work as I'm planning to use it for parts storage for the figures that I tend to change parts on often.

Now to actually finish loading the thing.

u/BZeeB · 4 pointsr/beadsprites

This is what I use. Unfortunately they are not completely sealed cubby spaces, so if you jostle it hard some of the beads may leak out into other cub holes. But each space fits 1000 beads very comfortably ~60 colors. If you mount it like its designed for you'll never have a problem.

u/NekoOtaku · 3 pointsr/beadsprites

I bought one of these. I got the dividers so each drawer can hold two colors.

u/ttirado · 3 pointsr/Locksmith

I have used these and they work great. They do have some different configurations for larger drawers and they are mountable. The bins are almost the same size as a standard 50 keyblank box from ilco.

http://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC

I would not go for anything open, as it can get dusty. As those are transparent drawers, you can see inside them without opening.

u/MattsPeppers · 3 pointsr/HotPeppers

It's this. https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC/

I have something similar. I keep mine in paper coin envelopes and have silica gel packets in each drawer to keep moisture down.

I used this and it's working great! Each drawer holds a little over 1000 beads, and it's not too large that it takes up too much room. Plus, you can see the colors through the drawers.

u/IVIuggle · 2 pointsr/lego

I got them at a local hardware store, but you can get these drawers on Amazon.

u/sakodak · 2 pointsr/arduino

I went from almost zero knowledge (blinking light tutorials, etc) to this in about a month. I'm nowhere near an expert now, but I designed and built something with my own brain and two hands and learned quite a bit in the process.

For me it helps to have something "real" to do. Something I actually need (or want,) then I can just plow through the bullshit and make that thing work. I still really have no clue what I'm doing (as evidenced by this) but now I have a shed with light and sound effects.

As for components, you can get stuff from mouser, jameco or lots of places, but I think the best bang for your buck when you're getting started is to just order assortments of stuff. I got assortments of caps and resistors from amazon and I'm sure similar assortments are available for other components (as I'm typing this I searched for "electronic component assortment" on amazon and there are several kits that have lots of stuff, plus diodes, voltage regulators, some ICs, transistors, LEDs, knobs, buttons, etc.)

The way I see it is if you're looking at a parts list for a beginner project they're probably going to use common components. A tiny leap of logic leads to the assumption that you're going to need those parts in the future. If the project calls for a 2n3906 transistor you can either buy one for $5.00 or 50 for $7.

Another piece of advice if you go this route: buy some of these. (May want to think about one of these too.)

u/DialgoPrima · 2 pointsr/beadsprites

Simple design, doesn't stick out too much- the Akro-Mils 64 compartment organizer. This is what I personally use, and I love the heck out of it. The drawers come out easily so you don't have to worry about reaching up for whatever colors you need, you can just grab the trays and go. For bead count- each drawer holds approx. 1250-1500 beads. If you don't fill it up past there, you should also be able to subvert the spillage through shaking crisis. I should also mention the drawers can stack if needed. They don't seal, but they are held in fairly securely. By "tub of nightmares", I'm assuming you mean the 11,000 tub? I got roughly 30 colors from it, with colors varying in quantity. Black, white, yellow, blue, red, green come in numbers. Some of the other colors, like the light greens, browns, and pastels are rarer. If your wife is serious about the hobby, she will be wanting to get the 1000 pc bags.

u/rabbiabe · 2 pointsr/diypedals

I’m also new to the game and I’ve found tayda to be a much more accessible site than Mouser — I get overwhelmed by the apparently galactic selection and can’t figure out what to get.

Also u/preppyprepface had really important advice— don’t skimp on your stock. I had to go back to tayda almost immediately and order a bunch more stuff because I initially ordered exactly what I needed for a specific PCB and then got really excited about other potential projects, and the shipping takes a while (weirdly, at a certain point if you order enough it comes DHL from Thailand which for some reason is faster than however they ship from Colorado. Who understands these things?). The most important thing to remember is that things will get screwed up — last week I ruined a 3PDT and shorted an LED and it was great to just reach into the bin for another one and keep chugging. Resistors in particular are so cheap that you can’t even buy less than 10 at a time (10 resistors = $0.12 so it makes sense)

You’ll also want a way to keep things organized — I bought this and this and these. In retrospect I wish I had bought two of the first one, but they’re all useful. Some of the bin walls are removable so you can make different size spaces for different kinds of parts. I then used regular sticky labels (Avery 5160) to label the outside so I could see what went where — for the smaller parts like resistors and capacitors I grouped them, so all the x10kΩ resistors went in one bin (in their little ziploc bags), all the x100kΩ in another bin, etc. it still requires some fishing through (vs buying a big table top organizer) but I live in a small house :)

akro mills storage cabinets. theseor these
sort by type, takes longer to sort at first, but so worth it.

u/kowalski71 · 2 pointsr/arduino

I think the big question when it comes to component organization is portable or not? If portable there are some good (and cheap!) options like card binders and tackle boxes, which other people have suggested.

I'm currently getting my bench set up where I'll be doing most of my electronics and I'm finding it a bit trickier to do without spending a bunch. I'll probably get drawer organizers with as many drawers as possible for components like resistors, caps, and inductors.

I think first-order retrievability is a worthy consideration when it comes to tools, including dev boards. At work I have plastic bins in all kinds of sizes and those work well. They offer good compartmentalization and organization but because they're open and have the shorter front they're easy to look into and access, or move to a bench, etc.

u/stregabello · 2 pointsr/CrossStitch

I believe it's an organizer generally used for organizing hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc). Like this: Hardware Storage

u/DefaultGen · 2 pointsr/pinball

I use Harbor Freight's rolling bin rack. I put my tools on top and big parts and stuff on bottom. Small parts in these Akro-Mils bins. You outgrow individual tool boxes quickly.

u/WiredEarp · 2 pointsr/arduino

I was planning on 3d printing a set of small component drawers, but I just saw these and they seem pretty reasonably priced:

I think those look perfect for me. I've also seen other ones with different sets of drawer sizes in the one unit.

u/NovaWildstar · 2 pointsr/Etsy

I have moved into a larger house - we specifically hunted for a house that had studio space because my company was spilling out of the office into the guest room, family room, kitchen etc. 1.5 years later - we are looking to move again - this time with a full walk out daylight basement for my studio.

I recommend using as much vertical space as possible. I have put up shelves and cut up cardboard boxes to create dividers so I can cram them full of envelopes. Clear tubs with snapping lids that stack Labels, etc. My husband has built custom risers for the printers to store paper underneath. Pegboard, 100s of tiny drawers. Anything and everything really.

It's awesome to see your business grow and how much stuff you need just to stay organized.

u/rushaz · 2 pointsr/maille

What's funny is, you're going to run out space with that REAL quick.

These are awesome for seeing things at a glance, and keeping a storage spot for them

u/LThanda · 2 pointsr/beadsprites

And the containers are part of the Arko Mils storage cabinet. I have 2 of the 64 drawer. Each drawer holds about 1000 beads.

That said, if you don't want to spend the money on it, there's a really clever solution with using empty water bottles for each color. Makes it easier to pour out and you don't have to worry about them spilling (just put the cap on it!)

u/MrMontgomery · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

I got a drawer cabinet thingy to keep all my bits and pieces in, it's the UK version of this

u/Kiosade · 2 pointsr/beadsprites

For organization I originally started with one of those uhh... craft carrying case things. It’s plastic and has a bunch of dividers that make up little boxes inside. But that became a hassle when I got too many colors, so I got a couple of those parts organizers (similar to this —> https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=pd_aw_lpo_469_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D2W2B78175XCFRACJFNZ). It’s WAY better, because you can take out the drawers you need to your table or whatever instead of ALL your colors. Makes grabbing the beads easier too.

As for sorting, I think you have the right idea. Take out the easiest, most distinguished colors first, then end up with the tan/pink/orange colors that are harder to tell apart. Takes a while but there’s really no better way. I suggest pouring say a few handfuls into a big wide soup bowl at a time and sort that, then rinse and repeat.

u/beernoulli · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I like these a lot. I have a few on my workbench. My organization system ranges from a drawer with a specific size but that I bought a box of, to a drawer full of randomly sized nails that I pulled out of old junk. If you have a lot of one type if thing, they have versions with larger drawers too.

It's still old man level hoarding, but it's more old man engineer level hoarding.

u/FurMich · 2 pointsr/lockpicking

I have about the same setup:
https://imgur.com/a/pG7In

I like it. I haven't had any issues with pieces migrating slots (except that time I dropped everything...) but I agree with /u/trevmurf about the foam on the lid, that would fix it, alternatively you could cut your own dividers, but that's a bit of a hassle.

One thing I've thought about (when I have a dedicated workspace) is something like this:

i use things almost like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC/

and i will definitely start using that now that i've found them. they've got even more little drawers than what i've got. i organize resistors, for instance, by the first two color codes, and can just draw the colors onto the front of the drawer.

u/Im_clean · 2 pointsr/AFOL

I currently use two of these. I use them for all my smaller bricks. Some of each plate, specialty stuff like hinges and decorating pieces. I use shoebox size rubbermades for the rest of the actually blocks, bigger plates, windscreens, plants, etc... They aren't super huge and are stackable on top of each other. I looked at tackle boxes but liked the viewable drawers and the expandability. The drawers are also dividable into two separate areas so 64 drawers becomes 128. Lots of room for a decent size collection.

u/rachelboory · 2 pointsr/beadsprites

I think boards are a safe bet!

What does he usually do with his pieces? Does he hang them, make them into magnets or pins?

Do you know where he gets his beads? A gift card to Joann or Michaels would be an awesome idea, because he could get his own beads with that.

If he doesn't have anywhere to store them right now, maybe a drawer set like this one is a good idea!

u/used2bgood · 2 pointsr/random_acts_of_lego

I have over 500 sets, so my storage gets a little pricey, but I used a combination of five things:

  • Akro parts bins for food items, minifig parts, and other small, uncommon pieces.

  • Plano tackle boxes for smaller pieces like 1x3 or 1x2 bricks, that I have in medium quantity, but in all different colors (I sort by color first, then piece type/size)

  • Stack-on boxes because they're large, stackable, dividable, and CHEAP.

    and lastly,

  • Ikea SAMLA bins for bigger bricks (2x8's and such), plates, odd pieces, and wheels. They're clear, stackable, and come with lids.

    Also crucial to my organization is a label maker, and they have good cheap ones at Costco. You could always just print out pictures of the bricks or a box inventory and use packing tape to seal it on, but I like the label maker look.

    My Lego room looks something like this, although nowhere near as many bricks.

    My nephew, who only has about 30 sets, uses small Tupperware type containers to sort the pieces, and keeps them in drawers like this, with a plywood table top bolted through the tops of each cabinet so that he can build and move the table around (although his is four cabinets bolted in a square).

    We also found some cool ideas here, but went with something else that worked better for our house/lifestyle. :)



u/nonojuice · 1 pointr/beadsprites

I have a couple of these. My only complaint is the lack of larger drawers, but each drawer holds about 1000 beads or so - or one pack of perlers. Other that that minor issue, it's amazing and pretty solid.

Akro-Mills parts storage racks are what I use. I used duct tape to cover the clear fronts to keep light out, and labeled each one with what flavor is stored onside to keep it organized. I also used black poster board to cover the back as it is clear as well. They are stackable, so even when you collection of flavors grows excessive you'll be able to store them in a small amount of space i. e. I have almost 500 flavors stored in an area about 4 feet wide by 5.5 feet high and don't have to dig or reach for a flavored that is stored behind another flavor as you would in a rack.

u/chronohart · 1 pointr/beadsprites

I picked up one of these 64-Drawer cabinets and it's worked great for me. Each drawer can comfortably hold 1000 beads. I also like that each drawer can be completely removed, so you can keep the cabinet out of the way somewhere and take individual drawers to wherever you might be working.

u/Eisenstein · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

Watch out for ziplock backs. They are not meant to store things for long periods of time. Notice how they get sticky over a few months. The ideal way too store large cables is to get pallet rap and wrap them up and place them in in with either tuperwear/rubbermaid containers or for smaller parts, user playing card holder sheets such as illustrated in the wiki:

u/CubistTime · 1 pointr/crafts

That might be nice for the tools, although I have this Ikea cabinet thing that is working pretty well for that. I think I'm looking for something more like this but I'm afraid it's going to be total crap and I'll fill it up with beads and get irritated with it and have to empty it back out again.

>I think the big question when it comes to component organization is portable or not? If portable there are some good (and cheap!) options like card binders and tackle boxes, which other people have suggested.

Portable is a big factor when considering how you will store stuff. I wouldn't dismiss it as an issue but I tend to see storage density as a bigger factor. It might not look that way when you are first starting out but as you collect more stuff space usage has to be managed.

>I'm currently getting my bench set up where I'll be doing most of my electronics and I'm finding it a bit trickier to do without spending a bunch. I'll probably get drawer organizers with as many drawers as possible for components like resistors, caps, and inductors.

Actually for resistors, diodes and LEDs I'd argue against that type of storage. The problem is this if you want to keep them organized you need individual bins per size or part number. If you don't things get mixed up and degrade from there. Even if you only stock the most common sizes of resistors you will end up with dozens of parts to organize. That leads to buying many drawer assemblies and using up a lot of space for a few parts. That doesn't mean you won't need the storage for other things though. Capacitors and inductors, especially in their more bulky variants would go well in such storage.

>I think first-order retrievability is a worthy consideration when it comes to tools, including dev boards.

if you don't need portability having tools directly accessible on the work bench can be a huge advantage. There is good reason woodworkers from the 1800's had huge walls of tools with the common tools right near their work benches.

The only thing that is different here is that makers often leave their benches for maker spaces or field work on their projects. That is when a portable tool box becomes so handy. These days though it doesn't even need to be a tool "box", it can just as well be a bag or even a tool backpack.

>At work I have plastic bins in all kinds of sizes and those work well. They offer good compartmentalization and organization but because they're open and have the shorter front they're easy to look into and access, or move to a bench, etc.

They are expensive though even at Wall Mart in the plastic variants. Plus you need a wall rack or shelving unit to store them. Stacking the plastic variants up one on top of the other is a pure trouble, believe me I've tried this with smaller units and it can lead to swearing and vulgarity when you want to take the bottom bin to the bench while avoiding spilling the rest. If you go with the cardboard ones or even the plastic ones you really need to build a shelving unit optimized for the size of the bins you buy. They are a good idea though, we have used the cardboard variants for stuff not used frequently at work.

u/souljasam · 1 pointr/beadsprites

Oh ok. I was looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003P2UOCO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_R32BwbYC1HYCQ and this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_h52Bwb8GDHEXB

The small drawers look similar to tge size of yours.

u/PkmnMasterTash · 1 pointr/beadsprites

This is specifically what I use. I have 2 of them, and each drawer perfectly holds 1000 beads! I just recently picked up 2 more as I'm looking to get into mini-beads too. If you're not from Canada, Amazon.com has something similar here. Arko-Mils seems to be the best ones to find online.

u/Wombodia · 1 pointr/beadsprites

I don't know if you need the amount of storage but I personally use this one from Amazon, which looks like this once it is all setup. The individual containers slide out from the base and you can swap in and out. The individual containers don't have tops so if you knock it over they will spill but if you put it on a table where you don't move it you don't have to worry about it all that much. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to pm me.

You could pickup two of these and put them side by side: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Njc1CbTV45TDV

Not exactly the depth you're looking for, but I have two of these at home and they've proven very useful and robust.

There's also a few variations by the same company with different sized drawers.

I'm months late to your post, but is this the ones that you bought? https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC

How have you liked them over the last few months since your post? I'm just starting to buy Lego in bulk and really need some storage options.

Thank you kindly; I can’t wait, either! What I’m using for storage is this:

Do you do jewlrey? it looks like you've got quite a variety of rings!

fyi, you can actually trim amazon links down to something like http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH3JC/. The only important part is the dp and the code that comes right after it.
