<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 297372, member: 54"]Here’s my “setup for sorting small mixed-up items.” I received about 1500 lbs. of industrial-type bolts, hundreds of different types, with from one to a few hundred examples of each, all mixed up together. Sizes of these items range from the size of a straight pin to grey steel “hex head” bolts two feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter (only a couple dozen of those fortunately.) I take 20-30 lbs. at a time, dump it in the yellow tray, then flip the three easiest-to-recognize types into three piles in the corners, bag or box those piles, then work on the next-easiest types to recognize quickly. I made the three piles shown in about 15 minutes. The makeshift table moves up or down with a pedal so I can sit or stand to do the work.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://wp.me/aMlEl-tT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://wp.me/aMlEl-tT" rel="nofollow">https://wp.me/aMlEl-tT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I really like having a good choice of fasteners available for our various projects; it speeds things up a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
